@coppersailor28, thanks for the tip.
Since I don't have the slightest clue how to edit photos—I'm a complete amateur in this department—could you just handle this for me like I described? What I mean is... I need the background behind that faded sign to match perfectly. Right now, there are all these different shades of blue clashing, and I want it done professionally, where those subtle background tones blend seamlessly over the sign when the blue spills over... without losing quality or looking like some cheap overlay. This is going to be my permanent Meta profile picture, after all.
I tried cutting out the blue background myself and slapping it over the sign, but you can tell immediately that the background was cut out... it looks obvious, and that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid.
Really appreciate the help on this. If I can ever return the favor, just let me know!!
