System Information
Operating system: Linux-5.4.0-58-generic-x86_64-with-debian-bullseye-sid 64 Bits

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.91.0
Worked: version: 2.90.1

Short description of error
In the Empty properties of an image Empty, the Transparency prop is mislabeled, since the plane is opaque when it is set to 1. It should be labelled Opacity, as in the Camera Background Images properties.

I understand that it makes more sense to enable transparency than to enable opacity since the object is opaque by default, but I was confused when coming back to an already-altered value in an existing file, and asked myself which way I should tweak the value.

2.90:
2.90_opacity_full.png
2.91:
2.91_transparency_full.png

This happened in ea4d28aea0 when the layout changed to remove a sub-panel.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Add Image Empty
  • Go to the Empty Properties

@pablovazquez I think this is a valid concern, especially since a transparency of 1.0 implies that the object would be fully transparent.
