It looks like the latest update removed the opacity control for images. I’ve cant seem to find a workaround.

Hi @Rik, thank you for posting in the Lucid Community!

It looks like you've come across the new way to edit shapes in Lucidchart.

This change is intentional. We reorganized editing controls so the ones you use most are faster to reach: your most common controls now live in a mini bar right above your selected shape, instead of a fixed toolbar at the top of the screen you'd have to look away from your work to use.

Here are a couple quick tips:

The mini bar also only shows controls relevant to what you've selected, so you're not scanning past options that don't apply.
You can drag that bar anywhere on your canvas.
The right panel to the right of your canvas (under the Share button) has those same controls, plus more advanced options, if you need them.

If you have any further questions or run into any issues, please let me know and I'd be happy to help!
