CSS image overlay with color and transparency

Question

I am trying to figure out if I can add an overlay to an image like a tint and change the opacity without adding background color  I had no luck so I thought I would ask here  I would like to make it red with that opacity  here is what I have so far     I made an image to overlay it if I have to called overlay png but don t know  if its necessary   img highlighted      opacity 0 4      Basically I want to do this but reverse  for image to tint when hovered not to take the tint away when hovered  check it out here http   jsbin com igahay 3011 edit

If you want to make the reverse of what you showed consider doing this    tint hover before       background  rgba 0 0 250  0 5            t2 before       background  none        and look at the effect on the 2nd picture   Is it supposed to look like this
