Robert,

Without seeing a code example, my first guess is that the opacity option isn't in the right place in the Layer constructor. Initial layer opacity gets set in the 'Options' section when you construct the OpenLayers.Layer
Here's an example creating a layer from a WMS:

var layer_name = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(
                "Layer name here",
                "/geoserver/ows",
                {
                   layers: 'public:roads',
                   srs: 'EPSG:4326',
                   format: 'image/png',
                   transparent: true
                },
                {
                    opacity: 0.8,
                    isBaseLayer: false,
                    visibility:true
                }
            );

Note that the 'opacity' setting is in the second set of 'squiggly brackets' {} (this is where options are set). I think lots of people get confused as to where to put settings/options like this.

I am attempting to create a map which shows a satellite image over a basemap. The problem is that the satellite image is too opaque such that the basemap isn't visible. I've tried setting opacity to some small amount but have not seen any affect.
