How can I easily swap an image on hover in Webflow without using the technique of placing an image behind the current one with opacity set to 0%?

To easily swap an image on hover in Webflow without using the overlay technique, you can employ the "show and hide" method. This approach involves utilizing the "Show" and "Hide" interactions feature in Webflow to toggle visibility between two different images upon hover.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

1. Select the image element you want to swap on hover and open the "Interactions" panel.
2. Create a new interaction by clicking on the "+" icon and choose the trigger "Hover" from the dropdown menu.
3. Select the element you wish to show on hover (the replacement image).
4. Under the "Affect" section, click on the "+" icon and choose the action "Hide" from the dropdown menu.
5. Select the element you want to hide on hover (the original image).
6. Fine-tune the interaction settings such as duration and easing to achieve the desired effect.
7. Preview and save your changes.

By following these steps, you can easily achieve a swap effect for your images on hover in Webflow, without needing to rely on the opacity technique.
