Hey,

I want to make a post based on image like this.

 

What changes I have to make on the background photo to make the text readable ?

 

Thanks in advance,

Don't change the background.

Add a stroke and/or drop shadow to the text.

But as you can see on the photo above, I think there's a little blur and a black layer on the background photo, no ?

Personally, I'm firmly opposed to any kind of outline or shadow on text 😉

 

I think this is fine as it is, I can read this without any problems. The background already has been darkened with a lowered white point, which is just how I'd do it. If it still doesn't seem to be enough, lower it a little more. But I don't think it's necessary.

 

EDIT - oh, OK, I get it. You want to know how to do it. Just put a Levels adjustment layer over the background and pull the output white slider (the lower one) to the left.

+1 @D Fosse - Adjust the image exposure to allow readability not stroke/shadow text.
