In this tutorial, you will learn on how to add transparent text to

an image surrounded by a semitransparent

background so that the text can be readable.

You will need an image to go forward with this tutorial.

At first, open the image in Photoshop and add a new blank

layer by clicking on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the

Layers palette.

Let’s fill the layer with white color by going to Edit> Fill and

make adjustments on settings.

Lower the opacity of the new layer to make it semi­transparent.

Now, add the text. Select the Type tool and choose your

font and its size.

Make sure that the color of the type is set to black.

Let’s re­size the text now. Select Edit> Free Transform and

drag the handles while holding Shift to change the size of the

text.

You will also need to re­position the text by dragging it

downwards.

When you are done, press Enter.

Next, merge group Layer 1 and the type layer together.

Select the type layer, hold Shift and click on Layer 1.

Select Layer> Group Layers to group them together.

Now, make the text transparent.

Select the type layer and click on the small menu icon on the

top right

of the Layers palette.

Select blending options and make adjustments on settings. 

Re­size the semitransparent background to surround only the

text.

Select Layer 1, go to Edit> Free Transform and re­size the

background.

When you are done, press Enter. 

Finally, change the opacity of the semi­transparent

background to make it better. 

An increase of opacity will make the text more readable.

And it is done!
