    I am using Enterprise Pro. I have an image displayed in the "home top" division of the page. I used the jetpack image widget. I want the image to be at an opacity of 0.5 with some text in front of it. However, when I inspect the element and change the opacity, it changes the opacity of every picture on the page. I am by no means an expert coder. I must be doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I edited the post to contain the correct link but it didn't save it. Thanks.

    Once the opacity is set correctly, I will need to add text that will overlay on the picture. I haven't done that yet. FYI

    This will give you the opacity.

    #image-2 .jetpack-image-container {
        opacity: 0.5;
    }

    I fixed the opacity of the image prior to seeing your response. Thank you for responding. However, I am not sure how to get the two sections to overlay. I understand the positioning property but am struggling.

    <div class="home-top widget-area"><div class="wrap">
    <section id="image-2" class="widget widget_image" style="opacity: 0.5;">
    <div class="widget-wrap"><div class="jetpack-image-container"></div>
    </div></section>
    <section id="text-5" class="widget widget_text" style="">
    <div class="widget-wrap">
    <div class="textwidget" style="">
    <h2>Are you a business owner who is....</h2>

    <h2>Bookkeeping Sherpa LLC can get you on the right path. </h2></div>
    </div></section>
    </div></div>
