Make the case to move the Opacity slider? #221

The opacity slider sits between information about the image and the image selector. You could make the case for moving it to be below the difference selector (see #220). This is because it is more logical to have it there - select the data first, then decide if you want kind of simple processing you want on it (none, running or base difference) and then decide on its opacity.

Against this idea is the fact that the location of the opacity slider has been there from the start, over 6 years now. Changing it now after so many users are used to having it there may not be a good idea.

@wafels, I temporarily moved Opacity slider below difference selector on beta website. I'm not sure but I prefer the slider to be on top, or may be I just get used to it as you mention it in your ticket. Please take are look on beta site.
