    I would like to remove the darkening scroll effect on the Featured Background Image 1
    on the Altitude theme.

    Could you please show me how to do this? Many thanks.

    Change this on line 1249:

    .image-section {
    	background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0.5) 30%, rgba(0,0,0,0.8) 80%, rgba(0,0,0,0.9) 100%);
    	background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,rgba(0,0,0,0.2)), color-stop(30%,rgba(0,0,0,0.5)), color-stop(80%,rgba(0,0,0,0.8)), color-stop(100%,rgba(0,0,0,0.9)));
    	background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,0.5) 30%,rgba(0,0,0,0.8) 80%,rgba(0,0,0,0.9) 100%);
    	background: -o-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,0.5) 30%,rgba(0,0,0,0.8) 80%,rgba(0,0,0,0.9) 100%);
    	background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,0.5) 30%,rgba(0,0,0,0.8) 80%,rgba(0,0,0,0.9) 100%);
    	background: linear-gradient(to bottom,  rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,0.5) 30%,rgba(0,0,0,0.8) 80%,rgba(0,0,0,0.9) 100%);
    	filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#33000000', endColorstr='#e6000000',GradientType=0 );
    	display: table;
    	overflow: hidden;
    	table-layout: fixed;
    	width: 100%;
    }
    

    To this:

    Hi Brad,

    Thank you for this. But, when I just add the new code you sent me to my custom style sheet,
    no changes are made on the site. Am I missing something?

    Marcia,

    On or about CSS line 1316, change this:

    .front-page-1 .image-section {
        padding-top: 75px;
    }

    To this:

    .front-page-1 .image-section {
        padding-top: 75px;
        background-image: none;
    }

    This won't remove your background image, but should override the background gradient overlay.

    Example here:

    f1roadcar.com

    I hope this helps.

    Edit not add. The CSS edits are tested and work.
