For some reason on my image banners, whenever I try to use a svg or png or basically anything with a transparent background, it still shows this low opacity black layer in the background even with my settings having the Image overlay opacity at 0%. How can I remove this? Would love to have something fix it so whenever I create any product page and upload pngs, it doesn’t do this anymore. Any tips are greatly appreciated, thanks so much.
