JQuery change hue, saturation, gamma of ?

Question

I want to make an image darker if you hover your mouse over it. Is it possible to change the hue, saturation or gamma of an img with JQuery (or Javascript)?

Answer 1

Extending Marcelo's suggestion, you could have a copy of your image in the final, darker stage, put it on top of the original, and vary its opacity on mouse hover like Nick said. This method allows you to do anything with the image transition: change its hue, saturation etc. A simple Javascript fade animation code can be found here.
