You can set background: transparent for full transparency. If you only want something to be semi-transparent you can use rgba. For example: rgba(255,0,0,0.5) is a half-transparent red.

You can always use a ::before pseudoelement with a 100% width and height, absolute position and opacity e.g. 0.6, of the element you need the semi transparent background and set the background image in this pseudoelement.

That's because using multiple background layers doesn't modify other layers, it just stacks them on top of each other.
To get a semi-transparent image background, we need to use another element (or pseudo element as was suggested above) with an image background and an opacity lower than 1, and position it under another element using position: absolute.

You can set
background: transparent
for full transparency. If you only want something to be semi-transparent you can use rgba. For example:rgba(255,0,0,0.5)
is a half-transparent red.But how to do the same for background image and not just color?
If you want full transparency then don't set the
background-image
property at all or usebackground-image: none
.If you want a partially transparent image, I think you have to use
opacity
You can always use a ::before pseudoelement with a 100% width and height, absolute position and opacity e.g. 0.6, of the element you need the semi transparent background and set the background image in this pseudoelement.
But using the opacity property will make the text opaque too right? 😅
No, because you're using the opacity only on the pseudoelement, not the whole element.
Oh, okay. Thanks 😃 Will try.
What about a gradient?
background: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) ), url("bg.png");
This would create a half-transparent black overlay over an image.
The result looks like this
