Making the images brighter on home page in altitude theme

[kathiemt]

I'm using altitude theme and on the home page the images are shrouded by moving text portions which look great. But my client wants the top image, in particular, to look brighter. He thinks it looks too dull. I have explained it's important to be able to view the text easily. He doesn't want to change the image we're using.

What do I need to do to lighten the shaded area just a bit please?

Hi,
I just did this - Not sure about specifying the top image only, but if you want to lighten the gradient overall
Look for this class in your editor - the gradient started as 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 or something like that. If you just up the numbers it will lighten the gradient at each level - just make sure you do it for all the various kits (you'll see what I mean the same thing is repeated for all the browsers)

.image-section {
	background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0.3) 30%, rgba(0,0,0,0.5) 80%, rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 100%);

Doing all the images is fine. Thank you. Is that in the css style sheet for the theme?

so which numbers are you talking about? The percentages or the 0.2, 0.3? I've found them now but wasn't sure which numbers you were talking about. I'm assuming the percentages.

I changed the numbers 0.2, 0.3 on all the lines of code in that image section and it worked.

thanks, that worked. The higher the number the clearer the view. Much appreciated.
