To me the patterns just need to be lighter than that. My guest is 0.25 or less will fix that. I even lower to that on the shadow amount as well. Look better than what I used.

I am the a$$ho!e. Point is over 0.25 is too much. Just trying get this to fade out on bright white. Over that amount will kill the goods.

New changes that I did.
