In beamer, I'm using \setbeamercovered{transparent} to show "covered" elements transparently before they appear in full. However, I find the transparent text too opaque.
How can I adjust the opacity / transparency / alpha of the covered elements?
MWE
\documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{lipsum} \setbeamercovered{transparent} % desired command to control the level of opacity \begin{document} \begin{frame} \pause \lipsum[1] \end{frame} \end{document} 

\setbeamercovered{transparent=⟨percentage⟩}, where⟨percentage⟩is between0and100. Quoting the manual,You can specify a different ⟨percentage⟩, where 0 means “totally transparent” and 100 means “totally opaque".\setbeamercovered{transparent}before and can't recommend it. It's distracting for the audience and it doesn't play well if you have images that also use transparency.
