white plain background

Originally, I had the plain white studio background for the front cover. I needed a subtle background which would not stand out, but look effect, so I was suggested to get  a picture of either my jeans or a jumper, The background is from my jean.
 In photoshop, I adjusted the levels, to make the image more subtle, when I applied it behind the image it worked perfectly, it made the simple white background, more interesting.
