 |
|
I would like to use an image as a background for a label but I want the image to look fainter than normal so that it appears to be in the distant background. I think this can be done with filters but I have no idea how to go about it.
I want my text and logo to dominate the scene.
Can anyone suggest a method?
Thank you.

Without seeing your image, I'd suggest giving it a bit of Gaussian blur. |

Almost sounds like you are wanting to have your background image slightly opaque? If that's it, make a copy of the background layer, delete the original layer (or hide it in the layers pallette) and then change the layer opacity until you get the desired effect.
