How to use css3 attributes to enrich picture styles (rounded corners, shadows, gradients)

In CSS3, if box-shadow and border-radius are used directly on images, the browser cannot render them well. But if you use the image as a background-image, the added style browser can render it well. I will introduce how to use box-shadow, border-radius and transition to create different image style effects.
Problem
By looking at the demo, we can notice that we set border-radius and inline box-shadow for the first row of images. Firefox renders the border-radius of the image, but does not render the inline box-shadow. Both effects are not rendering in chrome and Safari.

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.normal img {
border: solid 5px #000;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 5px rgba(0,0,0,.5);
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 5px rgba(0,0,0,.5);
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 5px rgba(0,0,0,.5);
}

firefox effect:

chrome/safari

Workaround
In order for border-radius and inline box-shadow to work properly, we need to convert the image into background-image.

Dynamic method
In order to complete this work dynamically, we need to use jquery to add a background image wrapper to each image. The following js code adds a span package to each image. The background image path of span is the path of the image.
The code is relatively simple, I think there is no need to explain it. If you are not sure, you can directly check the jquery API.

Copy code

The code is as follows:

Output
The above code will output the following results:

The code is as follows:

Circle image
Add that we use border-radius to achieve the effect of circular images, the effect is as follows:

css:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.circle .image-wrap {
-webkit-border-radius: 50em;
-moz-border-radius: 50em;
border-radius: 50em;
}

Card style
The following is a card style picture, using multiple inline box-shadows.

css:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.card .image-wrap {
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 1px rgba(0,0,0,.8), inset 0 2px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.5) , inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.4);
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 1px rgba(0,0,0,.8), inset 0 2px 0 rgba( 255,255,255,.5), inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.4);
box-shadow: inset 0 0 1px rgba(0,0,0,.8), inset 0 2px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.5), inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.4);
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px;
}

Relief style
The following is the relief effect.

css:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.embossed .image-wrap {
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 2px rgba(0,0,0,.8), inset 0 2px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.5), inset 0 - 7px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.6), inset 0 -9px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.3);
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 2px rgba(0,0,0,. 8), inset 0 2px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.5), inset 0 -7px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.6), inset 0 -9px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.3);
box- shadow: inset 0 0 2px rgba(0,0,0,.8), inset 0 2px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.5), inset 0 -7px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.6), inset 0 - 9px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.3);
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px;
}

Soft relief style
Compared to the relief style, the new style adds a 1px blur attribute.

css:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.soft-embossed .image-wrap {
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 4px rgba(0,0,0,1), inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,.5), inset 0 -9px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.6), inset 0 -12px 2px rgba(255,255,255,.3);
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 4px rgba(0,0,0, 1), inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,.5), inset 0 -9px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.6), inset 0 -12px 2px rgba(255,255,255,.3);
box- shadow: inset 0 0 4px rgba(0,0,0,1), inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,.5), inset 0 -9px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.6), inset 0 -12px 2px rgba(255,255,255,.3);
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px;
}

Cutout style
Use embedded box-shadow to achieve the cutout effect.

css:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.cut-out .image-wrap {
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.2), inset 0 4px 5px rgba(0,0,0,.6), inset 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.6);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.2), inset 0 4px 5px rgba(0,0,0,.6) , inset 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.6);
box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.2), inset 0 4px 5px rgba(0,0,0,.6) , inset 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.6);
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px;
}

Deformation and glowing
In this example, we add the transition attribute to the image package. When the mouse slides over, it will change from rounded corners to Round. Then we use multiple box-shadows to achieve the glow effect.

css:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.morphing-glowing .image-wrap {
-webkit-transition: 1s;
-moz-transition: 1s;
transition: 1s;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px;
}
.morphing-glowing .image-wrap:hover {
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 20px rgba(255,255,255,.6), inset 0 0 20px rgba(255,255,255,1);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 20px rgba(255,255,255,.6), inset 255, 1);
box-shadow: 0 0 20px rgba(255,255,255,.6), inset 0 0 20px rgba(255,255,255,1);
-webkit-border-radius: 60em;
-moz- border-radius: 60em;
border-radius: 60em;
}

Highlight effect
The highlight effect is achieved by adding the :after pseudo-class to the element.

css:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.glossy .image-wrap {
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.5);
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.5);
box-shadow: inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.5);
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px;
}
.glossy .image-wrap:after {
position: absolute;
content: ' ' ;
width: 100%;
height: 50%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border -radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,0.7) 0%, rgba(255,255,255,.1) 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,rgba(255,255,255,0.7)), color-stop(100%,rgba(255,255,255,.1)));
background: linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,0.7) 0%,rgba(255,255,255,.1) 100%);
}

Reflection effect
In this example, we move the highlight effect to the bottom to achieve the reflection effect.

css:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.reflection .image-wrap:after {
position: absolute;
content: ' ';
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
bottom: -31px;
left: 0;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 20px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 20px;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 20px;
border-top-left-radius: 20px;
border-top-right-radius: 20px;
background: -moz- linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,.3) 0%, rgba(255,255,255,0) 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color- stop(0%,rgba(0,0,0,.3)), color-stop(100%,rgba(255,255,255,0)));
background: linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0 ,0,.3) 0%,rgba(255,255,255,0) 100%);
}
.reflection .image-wrap:hover {
position: relative;
top: -8px;
}

Highlight and Reflection
In this example we use :before and :after to combine the highlight and reflection effects.

css:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.glossy-reflection .image-wrap {
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.5), inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.6);
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.5), inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.6);
box-shadow: inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.5), inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.6);
-webkit-transition: 1s;
-moz-transition: 1s;
transition: 1s;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px;
}
.glossy-reflection .image-wrap :before {
position: absolute;
content: ' ';
width: 100%;
height: 50%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px; ) 0%, rgba(255,255,255,.1) 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,rgba(255,255,255,0.7)), color- stop(100%,rgba(255,255,255,.1)));
background: linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,0.7) 0%,rgba(255,255,255,.1) 100%);
}
.glossy-reflection .image-wrap:after {
position: absolute;
content: ' ';
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
bottom: - 31px;
left: 0;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 20px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius -topleft: 20px;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 20px;
border-top-left-radius: 20px;
border-top-right-radius: 20px;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(230,230,230,.3) 0%, rgba(230,230,230,0) 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop (0%,rgba(230,230,230,.3)), color-stop(100%,rgba(230,230,230,0)));
background: linear-gradient(top, rgba(230,230,230,.3) 0%, rgba(230,230,230,0) 100%);
}

Tape style
In this example, we use :after to achieve the tape effect.

css:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.tape .image-wrap {
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 2px rgba(0,0,0,.7), inset 0 2px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.3), inset 0 - 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.5), 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.4);
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 2px rgba(0,0,0 ,.7), inset 0 2px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.3), inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.5), 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.4);
box-shadow: inset 0 0 2px rgba(0,0,0,.7), inset 0 2px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.3), inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.5) , 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.4);
}
.tape .image-wrap:after {
position: absolute;
content: ' ';
width: 60px;
height: 25px;
top: -10px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -30px;
border: solid 1px rgba(137,130,48, .2);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(254,243,127,.6) 0%, rgba(240,224,54,.6) 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient (linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,rgba(254,243,127,.6)), color-stop(100%,rgba(240,224,54,.6)));
background: linear -gradient(top, rgba(254,243,127,.6) 0%,rgba(240,224,54,.6) 100%);
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.3), 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.2);
}

Transform and Colorize
In this example we use :after, achieves a radial gradient effect when the mouse passes over.

css:

Copy code

The code is as follows:

.morphing-tinting .image-wrap {
position: relative;
-webkit-transition: 1s;
-moz-transition: 1s;
transition: 1s;
-webkit -border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px; webkit-border-radius: 30em;
-moz-border-radius: 30em;
border-radius: 30em;
}
.morphing-tinting .image-wrap:after {
position: absolute;
content: ' ';
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
-webkit-transition: 1s;
-moz-transition: 1s;
transition: 1s;
-webkit-border-radius: 30em;
-moz-border-radius: 30em; 30em;
}
.morphing-tinting .image-wrap:hover:after {
background: -webkit-gradient(radial, 50% 50%, 40, 50% 50%, 80, from( rgba(0,0,0,0)), to(rgba(0,0,0,1)));
background: -moz-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle, rgba(0, 0,0,0) 40px, rgba(0,0,0,1) 80px);
}

Feather edge circle

We can also Use a radial gradient to create a mask to achieve a feathering effect.
css:

Copy code

The code is as follows: .feather .image-wrap {

position: relative;

-webkit-border-radius: 30em;

-moz-border-radius: 30em;
border-radius: 30em;
}
.feather .image-wrap:after {
position: absolute;
content: ' ';
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top : 0;
left: 0;
background: -webkit-gradient(radial, 50% 50%, 50, 50% 50%, 70, from(rgba(255,255,255,0)), to(rgba( 255,255,255,1)));
background: -moz-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle, rgba(255,255,255,0) 50px, rgba(255,255,255,1) 70px);
}

Browser Compatibility

This implementation works in most browsers that support border-radius, box-shadow, :before and :after features (such as Chrome, Firefox and Safari), both work well. In browsers that don't support the new feature, only the original image will be displayed.
Create your own implementation Use the :before and :after pseudo-classes to create many styles for images, and you can try to create new effects yourself.
