Story- I rigged up a font that I intended to snap a picture of, and then use on a material for a storybook-esque page deal. Sadly I prepared all the material and then decided to test it. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j205/zanbatou-T-S/APhoto.jpg [The sticker is the bottom tone] The problem- As you can see above, after taking a stick-pic of the text, and plastering it down onto my material, it gives a nasty overlaying line. Using the flat layered font itself isn't an option, as about 65% of the text causes the level to overheat. I've tried taking pictures in all different lightings, but I can't seem to get a sticker that blends with my material, or is 100% opaque. An import feature would save a lot of pain, but that's a far off dream. Any ideas to get this to work out? Cranking up the lighting taking the pic, and then using the sticker makes it blend, but the scenario doesn't really call for the second coming of Jesus in terms of light.

have u tried taking a pic of just the BG of the letter, and then use that to color the entire book? I think that way it would blend with the custom color

What javi said (I wrote out the following before I understood what he was getting at lol): What you want to do is create a reference colour for your page. This should be slightly lighter than how you actually want the page to look. Sticker this onto a material (if you want smooth bold colour use blue wood or dissolve), then photograph this. Use that as the background for the page. Then place the letters on the separate material and photograph that. You should have a main sticker and a text sticker whose background are the same colour.

That actually worked. It'll take a while to redo all the work in this method, but it'll do just fine. Thanks for the help guys.

Actually you should achieve a super similar color if you take a picture with the "plain" background, no darkness, no fog, color default, and lighting at full. Also, most of the time the result is a bit more washed out than the original color so you can push the color correction juuuuust a little bit toward black and white and it will look more contrasted. .
