OP wants to decrease brightness  not increase it  Opacity makes the image look brighter  not darker   You can do this by overlaying a black div over the image and setting the opacity of that div    lt style gt   container       position  relative    div overlay       opacity   9      background-color  black      position  absolute      left  0  top  0  height  256px  width  256px     lt  style gt   Normal  lt br   gt   lt img src  http   i imgur com G8eyr png  gt   lt br   gt  Decreased brightness  lt br   gt   lt div id  container  gt       lt div class  overlay  gt  lt  div gt       lt img src  http   i imgur com G8eyr png  gt   lt  div gt    DEMO

In short  place black behind the image  and lower the opactiy  You can do this by wrapping the image within a div  and then lowering the opacity of the image   For example    lt  DOCTYPE html gt    lt style gt       img-wrap           background  black          display  inline-block          line-height  0                 img-wrap  gt  img               opacity  0 8             lt  style gt    lt div class  img-wrap  gt       lt img src  http   mikecane files wordpress com 2007 03 kitten jpg    gt   lt  div gt    Here is a JSFiddle

With CSS3 we can easily adjust an image  But remember this does not change the image  It only displays the adjusted image   See the following code for more details   To make an image gray   img    -webkit-filter  grayscale 100     -moz-filter  grayscale 100        To give a sepia look       img        -webkit-filter  sepia 100        -moz-filter  sepia 100        To adjust brightness    img        -webkit-filter  brightness 50         -moz-filter  brightness 50            To adjust contrast    img        -webkit-filter  contrast 200         -moz-filter  contrast 200            To Blur an image       img        -webkit-filter  blur 10px       -moz-filter  blur 10px

The feature you re looking for is filter  It is capable of doing a range of image effects  including brightness    myimage       filter  brightness 50        You can find a helpful article about it here  http   www html5rocks com en tutorials filters understanding-css   An another  http   davidwalsh name css-filters  And most importantly  the W3C specs  https   dvcs w3 org hg FXTF raw-file tip filters index html  Note this is something that s only very recently coming into CSS as a feature  It is available  but a large number of browsers out there won t support it yet  and those that do support it will require a vendor prefix  ie -webkit-filter   -moz-filter  etc    It is also possible to do filter effects like this using SVG  SVG support for these effects is well established and widely supported  the CSS filter specs have been taken from the existing SVG specs   Also note that this is not to be confused with the proprietary filter style available in old versions of IE  although I can predict a problem with the namespace clash when the new style drops its vendor prefix    If none of that works for you  you could still use the existing opacity feature  but not the way you re thinking  simply create a new element with a solid dark colour  place it on top of your image  and fade it out using opacity  The effect will be of the image behind being darkened   Finally you can check the browser support of filter here
