Hi  
In my last Editor there was a function to lighten/darken an image to see text overlayed better. Is there similar functionality with Builder Visual Editor? I’m assuming opacity does the lightening? What about darkening?  
Thanks  
Cheers  
Richard

Hi @rjcuser,

Builder Editor does have an opacity option. Unfortunately, doesn’t have a direct option to set the brightness level or increase the darkness level. Feel free to submit this as a feature request here:[https://ideas.builder.io/](https://ideas.builder.io/)

Workaround:

In order to darken the image, you simply need to select the image and add CSS property to apply a brightness filter to it i.e. `filter: brightness(50%);` lowering the percentage number refers here to more darkness. Please look at screenshot below:-
