Different Backgrounds

 

Thought I'd try using a photo for a background just to see what would happen.

The photo below was taken at Windsor Castle in England and I used just the towers. I used every tool that PSP has for lightening till I got something that I thought would work as a background and still be recognizible as a castle. It didn't work just as a photo and I had to give it white borders so that it would look a little better on a page.

Then I used Smart Saver Pro to save the background which has adjustments so that you can easily adjust down the quality to improve the load time and still be able to see what the finished product will look like as you are adjusting.

My final thoughts are that most backgrounds, but especially this one, make reading the print very difficult.
