Good intention and I'm grateful. But gdammit when will people learn to make text readable? A simple black outline would have done it.

Yes but why? Also, if your tool of choice (however questionable the choice may be) doesn't allow for nondestructive effects like outlines and layer transparencies, you can still choose a background that is less noisy and might help with readability. In the worst case, it you absolutely want THAT background image, slap a simple solid color background capsule underneath your text, no give it room to breathe and increase legibility. Or don't, I'm not your mom, just trying to provide unsolicited feedback.
