    Sort of, but no. They’re transparent because of the frame blending. Since moving objects/characters occupy different parts of the foreground across multiple frames, the background ends up getting blended into them. They call that “ghosting” because it effectively makes them transparent.

    So they do lose opacity, but it’s not like they’re lowering an opacity value or anything.
