Photo filters for images with text

Here are some editing options for your image backgrounds:

ADD A COLOR LAYER TO YOUR IMAGE

Unify the color of the background image and make it contrast with the text you want to highlight. On the editor, you will find different ways to do this with various results and nuances. The two easiest to apply are:

Add COLOR TINT filter. This effect will allow you to apply a global color to the image without losing its details. It gives a professional finish and can be very interesting if you want your background photo not to go completely unnoticed.
Add a shape with TRANSPARENCY. This way, you can create a color layer and adjust its intensity. It may or may not occupy the entire image, allowing you to highlight a text. The only drawback of this method is that you will have to send back the layer of the new figure you have just created so that texts are on top.
Add GRADIENTS. Discover also how to add different gradient colors to your composition in a simple way.

TEXT BOXES WITH SHAPES

Using different boxes to place your text helps catch the audience's attention so that the image is not the most crucial part of the composition. It is a very effective way to highlight the message and make the text read clearly. You can use the same color as some of the elements of the image to match it visually.

BLUR EFFECT

The blur effect consists of blurring the background, which allows the image to be perceived but does not detract from the text. Icons look especially good with this type of effect, and it also highlights the company's logo. Applying it is as simple as going to the filters tab and clicking.

IMAGES WITH BLANK SPACE

Apart from the effects applied, you can leave a white part. Images with a "black space" will be perfect for inserting text. They help create an attractive and orderly design as everything has its place.
