Kurgan18 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Hi, I know this may sound weird however I am creating a book cover and the bottom of the page is a photo of vivid green grass. No matter what color text I use, the text cannot be seen clearly. Is there a way to put a banner/box over part of the grass then type the text inside? I would really appreciate any help you can provide! Thanks! Edited April 17, 2013 by Kurgan18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 If you're having trouble making the text stand out (and don't want a backing panel as Welshblue described above) try switching the text layer blend mode to Difference.

Visual Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 You can also use a drop shadow on text with a complementary or contrasting color, or the standard dark grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
