Apply blending modes for legible text

Deke shows us how to apply text effects so that the copy is dark against a white background, and light against dark backgrounds. He starts by inverting the colors, then changing the layer blend mode to Invert. This creates distasteful colors, apply more blending modes and adjust levels to achieve a desired look.
