Unreadeble text in Text Object

[james48]

Hello, I like to know something about transparency in Text Object please.  (see attachment)

What program is this question about? Is it maybe mouser's Screenshot Captor?

Hi James.

The answer is yes.
The solution is to modify the BLEND MODE.
Just change the BLEND mode to "Normal" instead of "Multiply".

Thank you very much Mouser, stupid from me I guess. 
It's still my favorite screen capture program! 

Regards,
James

Not stupid at all -- in fact I really need to add some help on that screen to guide people as I'm sure it's a common confusion.
Thanks for your patience with the program!

Thanks, this program is very useful to me.

Yes, I sometimes wonder how many times SC users trip over this one. I had the exact same "problem" a while back when somehow the BLEND mode got changed (I have no idea how - certainly not deliberately by me). The thing is that the "fix" is a tad obscure. I'm not usually using SC every day, and am not familiar with all of its settings. Things like this are probably "user error" though, I suspect.

I think just moving the blend mode to the top under the transparency setting and adding a line of explanation would solve the problem.
