Title: CHALLENGE 3 INVISIBLE INK
Post by: Fred A on February 24, 2013, 12:02:28 PM
Challenge 3 is a fun trick.

Put text in your image that is invisible unless you have the Mike Chaney decoder ring, or never grew up like me!

There is text hidden inside the image,, large letters,

I was informed that no one believed me...
OK I added half visible and all visible.
Send your sweetheart a hidden message in a saved TIF or a 100% JPG and she/he can read in Qimage's Examiner

OK time for some hints!

1) Try to find an image that has an even colored sky, or an evenly colored awning or backdrop.
Put that image into the queue.

2) Go into the Page Editor in Qimage Ultimate, and right click on the image, and select Floating text.
Click in the color area to set approximate location.

3) When the box opens, click on TEXT COLOR, and choose EYE DROPPER

4) Click the dropper in a suitable color area so the text will use that color.

(Turn off Shadowed)
Click OK

5) There will be a small blue dot. Use your mouse pointer to drag the text into the colored sky or other even tone area until it disappears (blends in).
If you still see it a little, Right click the Blue Dot and the box reopens, Use the dropper again to select a color that is tight next to the text.

If you want to save it, Print to File.

Have fun.

See screen snaps!  113 is the dialogue box   114 is the text in the selected color of the wall     115, the text on the wall. See The BLUE DOT for moving and changing!!!

Here we go, see attached below.
The sky & water tones were not that even but it still worked quite well.
I made the text visible by adding a contrasting shadow to the text.
Regardless of the trickery, this is an exercise in using floating text features  :)
