Photoshop question, making added text blend in better?

I've got a picture and some text in Photoshop but its quite bad quality, and Ive put text over the top and it looks really unnatural. How do I make it all even quality, even if it means making the text look worse or something?


Thanks!Photoshop question, making added text blend in better?
Firstly you have the drop-down menu that has some techniques - This is found on the right hand side (if you have the layers pallet open] under the word Layers it says Normal - drop it down, and there is over-lay, soft light, etc etc.





If none of that works go to the bottom (under the layers pallet) and you will see some icons - 7 exact. The one in a circle with ';f'; inside click that and go to ';Blending Options'; - Then there will be a full blending window that comes up-





Obviously you can just change the opacity - (Beside the normal drop-down menu) this will fade the color down)

a thin black outline or a drop shadow can help wonders with text.. if you right click on your text layer and bing up the ';blending'; options you'll get both as well as a full range of effects you can apply.. try messing with the colour too.. if you have it as a bright primary colour try toning it down to a less harsh colour that compliments the over all colour of the picture..
Alternativly to the Optacity settings, you can rasterize the text, and select it with a selection tool, and feather it by x5 pixels, play around with this type different values.

Try changing the opacity. That fades it out. Sounds like what you need.
