Semi-Transparency is an important feature used in designing graphics, images, and other digital media. It refers to a partially transparent element that allows light to pass through, but only partially obstructs the view. Alternative synonyms for semi-transparency are often used interchangeably, such as translucency, opaqueness, tinted and frosted. Translucency refers to the property of partially allowing light to pass through, but it can be difficult to see through. Opaqueness implies the complete blocking of light, while tinted describes semi-transparency with a specific color. Frosted refers to a semi-transparent surface that has been intentionally altered to make it diffuse or less transparent. All of these words can be used to describe the degree of transparency of an object or surface.
