When including light colored text, logo or graphic over a photo with similar colored light areas, it is best to include a subtle overlay on the photo to help ensure the copy is legible and "pops". This is very easy to do in Rela with the built-in Overlay tool.

Step 1: Single click on a photo and check the enable box for "Image Overlay"

Step 2: Click on the "Transparency" tool and use the slider to adjust the overlay to the desired strength  

Step 3: Advanced Adjustments - Click on the "Slider" tool and can adjust the Angle & Position of the overlay

And you can also adjust the Top & Bottom Positions of the overlay
