how can I remove this black product image?

[kar3n2]

Hi.. its me again

I have this product and its got a black image as you can see.  I know I can upload another image which will replace that and be relevant to the product ( sponsorship of a forum)

 

HOWEVER... there will be about 180 of these forum sponsorship products so as you can imagine finding 180 different images and uploading them will be a nightmare and cost me a small fortune off shutterstock or wherever.

So can it be removed or at least made to look prettier???

Thanks if you can help.  A glass of wine your way of course :-)

What about using your own background image there ?

in custom.css add:

.ipsNoThumb {
  background: url(your image url) no-repeat;
}

Should then use that image for ALL the 'black backgrounds' of products

or if only have one theme then could add your image to the Manage Resources and use the url given in the above code ?

Hi, I tried this but the picture did not end up in the right place. I had to use this example.

.ipsNoThumb {
  background: url(/thumb/image.jpg);
  background-size: 100%;
}

But I can still see the old image shine through. It would be great if i could change the image in the admin panel in the future instead.

My site is stil under construction. Can't give a link yet. But here is example of the image i get now. I still can see the old thumb under the image.

[steve00]

perhaps your image created with opacity ?

difficult to say really without viewing

Amazing this isn't a configurable feature via the ACP...

This image appears to have opacity which explains why we see the original thumbnail.

Yes! After i change to new image i can not see the original image. Thanks for the help.
