FUNCTIONS IMAGE FUNCTIONS

images.Opacity

Returns an image filter that changes the opacity of an image.

Syntax

images.Opacity OPACITY

Returns

images.filter

The opacity value must be in the range [0, 1]. A value of 0 produces a transparent image, and a value of 1 produces an opaque image (no transparency).

Usage

Create the filter:

{{ $filter := images.Opacity 0.65 }}

Apply the filter using the images.Filter function:

{{ with resources.Get "images/original.jpg" }}
  {{ with . | images.Filter $filter }}
    <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}" alt="">
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

You can also apply the filter using the Filter method on a Resource object:

{{ with resources.Get "images/original.jpg" }}
  {{ with .Filter $filter }}
    <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}" alt="">
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}

The images.Opacity filter is most useful for target formats such as PNG and WebP that support transparency. If the source image does not support transparency, combine this filter with the images.Process filter:

{{ with resources.Get "images/original.jpg" }}
  {{ $filters := slice
    (images.Opacity 0.65)
    (images.Process "png")
  }}
  {{ with . | images.Filter $filters }}
    <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" width="{{ .Width }}" height="{{ .Height }}" alt="">
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}
