blend the text with background (Paint Shop Pro)

Easy way to blend the text with the background



An easy way to blend the text is to select the droppertool Colourpick the colour from the background. You want the text to stand out enough so it's readable on all monitors, so try to pick a colour that contrasts well. I'm going to colour pick from a ligher area of the background, and place the text over a dark area.



and that's it



you can also play around with various effects and settings, and blend modes to make the text look more a part of the background, and create an overall better looking sig.
