Creating a faint version of an image is easy with the Microsoft Paint application. The final output will not be that professional, but it will do the basic job.

The logic used to make a fade image in MS paint is very straight. We are just going to put a square object over an image with marker fill. The marker color feature in Microsoft Paint is used to simulate a highlighter marker. You know that the marker intends to highlight text or object without losing transparency.

Similarly, placing a square with marker fill over the image will keep at least 50% transparency, and the image will look faded.
