Make hero image dark

How would I take a hero image and give it some darkness as it shows here in the link..

http://preview.themeforest.net/item/right-flooring-flooring-paving-and-tiling-services-html-template/full_screen_preview/20061064

I tired using rgba values and opacity on a div tag using a class that I named however it does not affect the contrast of the image. I just want to make a hero image look the same. Any clues??? Thank you so much

Have you tried using filter? I looked it up and on stackoverflow someone mentioned using something like filter: brightness(50%);
