<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
   $(document).ready(function() {
       $('img').each(function() {
            $(this).hover(function()  {
               $(this).stop().animate({ opacity: 0.3 }, 500);
           },

Explanation:-

This simple jQuery script changes opacity of images from 0.3 (Mouse hover state) to 1.0 ( Normal state) with animation. Corresponding HTML code is given below.

<div>     
   <img src="URL Of Image 1" />
   <img src="URL of Image 2"  />
</div>

Suppose if you want to focus a particular image that comes under specific CSS id or class then the corresponding jQuery and HTML code is as follows

HTML Code

<div>

<div id="testingcss">
  
   <img src="Image url"/>     
       
        <div id="workingcss">  
        <img src="Image Url 1"/>
        <img src="Image Url 2"/>
        </div>    

 </div>

</div>

jQuery Code

For hovering a image that comes under the CSS id workingcss, without affecting the image that comes under testingcss id, the following changes should be done in above jQuery code.

               $(this).stop().animate({ opacity: 0.3 }, 500);
           },
          function() {
              $(this).stop().animate({ opacity: 1.0 }, 500);
          });
       });
   });
</script>
