I would like to fill a shape but also have it somewhat transparent so that you can kind of see the background of the web page's picture. How might someone go about making the fill picture or solid color transparent so that you can see the background behind the shape?

Thanks, Keith

I think I'd use Photoshop... Possibly also Gimp, which is free. Ha en riktig god dag!

This will work and it's also free.;)

Adjust the src to your image location. I can't hear what I'm looking at when it's so easy to overlook something I'm not looking for.
