The above may seem easy to most of you but is a big achievement for me and thanks goes to this site.

Can someone tell me the process or even better exactly how to loose that black border line around the TEXT so it blends in (maybe the wrong word)...but so it appears to be more apart of the background scene. I have little knowledge of terms like blend, brush etc. so I hope I'm being clear to what I mean.

oke so me it appears like u want to loose the black rectangular line around the text ( the border)

well this is wt u shud do
ur text layer
then take out your rectangular selection tool
make a selection on the text layer leaving the border (zooming in can help)
then go Select>inverse
then go select>clear
and that shud delete the border
