Transition background-image to grey












0















Trying to make background-image smoothly fade out into transparent, with the text opacity unchanged, however I only managed a on/off transition.
Transition with opacity does not work here, since I need the text to stay opaque. Any thoughts how this could be done?



Here's my code:




.grid {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 500px;
height: 250px;
}

.flexbox {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-direction: row;
overflow: hidden;
}

#one {
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
background-color: red;
background: url('https://doorcountypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-PP-3-9-18-Raccoon-at-cracked-corn-660x440.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 40%;
}

#one:hover {
background: linear-gradient(rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5), rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)), url('https://doorcountypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-PP-3-9-18-Raccoon-at-cracked-corn-660x440.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 40%;
height: 250px;
}

<div class="grid">
<div class="flexbox">
<div id="one">
<div id="textbox">
I need this picture to smoothly fade into transparent (grey) and this text to stay opaque.
</div>
</div>
</div>

          You can try to use the :: after tag, which will help you do what you expect.



          You must remember about content = "", without which the picture will not appear.
          Also remember to correctly set the z-index which is responsible for the location of the layer.



          And here's the solution for your example:






          .grid {
          margin: 0;
          padding: 0;
          width: 500px;
          height: 250px;
          }

          .flexbox {
          display: flex;
          flex-wrap: wrap;
          flex-direction: row;
          overflow: hidden;
          }

          #one {
          width: 250px;
          height: 250px;
          position: relative;
          }

          #one::after {
          position: absolute;
          z-index: 1;
          width: 100%;
          height: 100%;
          background: url('https://doorcountypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-PP-3-9-18-Raccoon-at-cracked-corn-660x440.jpg');
          background-repeat: no-repeat;
          background-position: 40%;
          left: 0;
          top: 0;
          content: "";
          transition: opacity 0.3s, visibility 0.3s;
          }

          #textbox {
          z-index: 2;
          position: relative;
          }

          #one:hover::after {
          opacity: 0;
          transition: opacity 0.3s, visibility 0.3s;
          }

          <div class="grid">

          • Thank you, it worked! While your code does exactly what I asked to help with - smooth transition to gray on :hover - it would be be just best if it also added an ease-out backwards animation. Anyway you helped me a lot, tx!

          • Thank you, it worked! While your code does exactly what I asked to help with - smooth transition to gray on :hover - it would be be just best if it also added an ease-out backwards animation. Anyway you helped me a lot, tx!

          • @BI You are welcome. Look at it right now. Esse-out animation should work fine!

          You can try to use the :: after tag, which will help you do what you expect.



          You must remember about content = "", without which the picture will not appear.
          Also remember to correctly set the z-index which is responsible for the location of the layer.



          And here's the solution for your example:






          .grid {
          margin: 0;
          padding: 0;
          width: 500px;
          height: 250px;
          }

          .flexbox {
          display: flex;
          flex-wrap: wrap;
          flex-direction: row;
          overflow: hidden;
          }

          #one {
          width: 250px;
          height: 250px;
          position: relative;
          }

          #one::after {
          position: absolute;
          z-index: 1;
          width: 100%;
          height: 100%;
          background: url('https://doorcountypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-PP-3-9-18-Raccoon-at-cracked-corn-660x440.jpg');
          background-repeat: no-repeat;
          background-position: 40%;
          left: 0;
          top: 0;
          content: "";
          transition: opacity 0.3s, visibility 0.3s;
          }

          #textbox {
          z-index: 2;
          position: relative;
          }

          #one:hover::after {
          opacity: 0;
          transition: opacity 0.3s, visibility 0.3s;
          }

          <div class="grid">
          <div class="flexbox">
          <div id="one">
          <div id="textbox">

          • Thank you, it worked! While your code does exactly what I asked to help with - smooth transition to gray on :hover - it would be be just best if it also added an ease-out backwards animation. Anyway you helped me a lot, tx!
