To create an inverted color effect with a higher z-index .png image in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Upload the image: Start by uploading the .png image to your Webflow project. You can do this by selecting the appropriate element on your page and clicking on the "Image" icon in the right sidebar. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the image file directly into your project panel.

  2. Add a new div block: Next, add a new div block to your page where you want the inverted image effect to appear. This div block will act as a container for the image.

  3. Adjust the layering: Make sure that the div block you just created has a higher z-index value than other elements on the page. This will ensure that the image appears above other content. To adjust the z-index, select the div block and go to the right sidebar. Under the "Position" section, increase the z-index value to a number higher than any other elements on the page.

  4. Apply the invert effect: With the div block selected, go to the "Background" section in the right sidebar. Click on the color picker next to the "Background Color" property and select the "Color Picker" option. In the color picker panel, choose the "Color" tab. Here, you will find an option to invert the colors. Click on the "Invert" button to apply the color inversion effect to the background.

  5. Set the image as the background: After applying the color inversion effect, set the image as the background of the div block. In the "Background Image" property under the "Background" section, click on the "Select Image" button and choose the image you uploaded.

  6. Adjust image size and positioning: You may need to adjust the size and positioning of the image within the div block to achieve the desired effect. Use the "Background Size" and "Background Position" properties in the "Background" section to make the necessary adjustments.

  7. Preview and fine-tune: Preview your changes and make any additional adjustments as needed until you achieve the desired inverted color effect with the higher z-index .png image in Webflow.
