Color transparency overlay on hover
You could use an :after
pseudo element that is absolutely positioned relative to the parent div
elements. The pseudo element would be the same size as the parent, therefore it works for all img
dimensions. It basically just adds a transparent overlay on :hover
, achieving the 'filter' you're looking for. You can use any background color, customize the transparency and even add content..
div {
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
}
div:hover:after {
content:"\A";
width:100%;
height:100%;
background:rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5);
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
}

Working on my personal site and I have images that upon hover I would like to have a dark red overlay that is somewhat transparent. So far all I can find with webkit is changing the brightness, saturation or hue of the photo.
I might add that these features only work when I designate them to tags such as "img" and they don't work with "class" or "id."
Any help would be great.
Here is my code:
html
<div> <img src="images/amadea/book.jpg" alt="Amadea Bailey- Abstract Expressionist"> </div>
css
img{ display: block; } img:hover{ -webkit-filter: grayscale(100%) brightness(51%); }

Josh Crozier over 10 years@NoobEditor It's a line break or cartridge return. One of those. It's not necessarily needed,

would work fine. -
