Hi @shahriar25 ,

It is some thing like this,

QPixmap input("YourImage.png");
QImage image(input.size(), QImage::Format_ARGB32_Premultiplied); //Image with given size and format.
image.fill(Qt::transparent); //fills with transparent
QPainter p(&image);
p.setOpacity(0.2); // set opacity from 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.0 is fully transparent and 1.0 is fully opaque.
p.drawPixmap(0, 0, input); // given pixmap into the paint device.
p.end();
