Hi  
I don’t understand what you are trying to do.  
Isn’t your image already in a class if you added it wia CSS ?  
Cheers.

Ok, so the image was added using the background-image property using CSS, the class was the “body” I have a button i have styled, any changes i make to the body are impacted opacity or brightness for example,

Im assuming if i can create a class for the imgae and not just the whole body, only the background image will be afftected and not the other elements in the body.

Hope this helps.

Hey, techytony! I have read your question regarding the problem you are facing. I got to know this when I asked someone to [take my online class for me](https://takemyclass.us.com/) To add a class to the specific background image in CSS, wrap a div around your content, apply the background image to this div, and adjust its brightness using CSS filters. This isolates the effect from other elements.
