How can I add a Hover interaction to an image in Webflow, where the image is greyed out and text is added on top of it?
To add a hover interaction to an image in Webflow, where the image is greyed out and text is added on top of it, you can follow these steps:
Select the image: Go to the Designer panel of Webflow and select the image that you want to apply the hover interaction to.
Add a class: In the right-hand sidebar, you will see the "Class" field. Click on the "+" button to add a new class, and give it a name, for example, "hover-image."
Apply the styles: With the newly created class selected, go to the "Styles" tab. Here, change the image's opacity to achieve the greyed-out effect. You can do this by adjusting the "Opacity" property. You may want to set an initial opacity of less than 1 (e.g., 0.6) to create the greyed-out look. You can also add other styles like padding or border if desired.
Create a hover trigger: Next, scroll down to the "Interactions" section in the right-hand sidebar and click on the "+" button to add a new interaction. Choose the "Hover" trigger.
Add an animation: With the hover interaction created, click on the "Add an animation" button. In the animation timeline, select the image element and change its opacity back to 1 (fully visible). You can also add animations to other properties like scaling or rotating the image, if desired.
Add text on top of the image: To add text on top of the image, you can use a text element and position it as needed. It's good practice to wrap both the image and the text in a div block to keep them together for easier positioning.
Style the text: Select the text element and apply the desired styles such as font, size, color, and position using the "Styles" tab.
Create a hover interaction for the text: Repeat steps 3-5 to create a hover interaction for the text element. You can add animations to properties like opacity or position to create a smooth transition when hovering over the image.
Preview and adjust: Preview the website to test the hover interaction. If needed, go back to the Designer panel and make any adjustments to the styles or animations until you achieve the desired effect.
Once you have completed these steps, your image will appear greyed out initially, and when hovered over, the image will regain full opacity while the text is displayed on top.
