What are some ways to accomplish this task without relying on a photo editing tool?

Is it possible to swap the image link:

with this new link:

without having to use a photo editor?

Answer №1

To achieve a semi-transparent image, you can utilize the opacity property and adjust it to suit your preferences.

If you desire to change the image's color to a darker shade, CSS filters are the way to go. By tweaking the hue, you can create a darker, maroon, or brownish tint. It's important to consider browser support - https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-filters

  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9);

  position: fixed;
  width: 100%;
  box-sizing: border-box;

  z-index: 2;
}

header .logo {
  position: fixed;
  left: 50%;
  top: 13px;
  max-width: 100%;
  opacity: .7;
  position: absolute;

Answer №2

It appears to be a unique design requirement that may only occur once – such as creating a logo. To achieve this, using Photoshop would be the most efficient method.

I have upvoted Michael's response because I believe it is the closest solution achievable with solely CSS. Unless there is a unconventional method to accomplish this.


My technique:

Utilize Photoshop for initial creation.

Next, set the image as the background for one of the pseudo-elements within your header div / img

I've included a sample below showcasing the desired outcome.

I encoded the overlay graphic as Base64, as it is only 1kb in size. Ensure its compatibility with your CSS document. Learn more about Base64 here

You can adjust the opacity of the pseudo-element.

.content {
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 100%;
  height: 500px;
  position: relative;
  background: url(https://unsplash.it/800/310) no-repeat
}

.content::before {
  content: "";
  display: block;
  height: 100%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  opacity: .25;
  background: url('data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAA3AAAAExCAMAAAAKr7AFAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURQAAAP///v///v///yYLV3kAAAADdFJOUwB6xLOvUwsAAAN0SURBVHja7d3BroMgEEBRBv7/n7vsRqGMSGo8Zzs7zY0vhOkrDdimeAQgOBAcIDgQHCA4EBwIDhAcCA4...
