HELP: How do you make pictures semi-transparent?

[carlito]

OK I stumled across this page:

http://vampirefreaks.com/profile.php?user=Durch_Nacht_Und_Flut

Notice the pictures are like semi-transparent? Can anyone give me the HTML code to do that?

Is it JavaScript? I hope it's simple, I really like the effect.

Thanks guys!!!

um, its not a code, its photoeffects, just use photoshop or GIMP or something, u can change the blending mode or the opacity

Last I knew only a few of them ever got ported over to other browers; you'll have to google for that yourself .

Dunno wether it is exact the same thing carebear suggested or not but here's a handy reference (css filters)

Thanks guys.

BTW for the record it IS code because the original pics (if you click on them) aren't modified.

if you click on them, the background is white. so naturally it doesnt show as semi-transparent at all. its the opacity filtering in your phothshop program

JPEGs don't and can't have transparency or an alpha channel.

Yes. I know how vampirefreaks.com works, you have to upload a pic and they modify it into a thumbnail. Therefore, because the enlarged pics aren't transparently modified, the thumbnails must have been visibly edited through code.

Thus, I was right all along.

 

[ensimrocks]

no, you are wrong. he could have just made thumbnails in his program like i do.

 

[carlito]

No, you can't make your own thumbnails on vampirefreaks.com they do it for you

 

[ensimrocks]

that didnt make sense

 

[carlito]

Yes it did. Vampirefreaks makes them up for you using their server =)

no its not a code, its called rollovers

Why is it so hard for you to accept that it is code? :confused4
If you won't take our word for it, take a look at the site. It should be in an a:hover CSS definition.
