I am creating a series of trees in Photoshop, using paths. My plan is to complete the first tree, and then edit the same path for the other trees.

So I have a logo which is grouped objects, what I am trying to do is allow other users to open the .ai file and copy the logo and use it, but not allow them to ungroup it or make any changes in each layer. I guess locking is not the way to go, will applying a clip mask help as a workaround? Thanks!
Perhaps many of you have heard of the Photoshop extension called "Genuine Fractals" that can enlarge a bitmap (JPEG) picture without making it look worse. Are there any alternatives?

Hello there, I have been working on a game lately and have little experience with photoshop.

I am looking for a font to use on a small (75x55mm) LCD display. The display supports 5 bit grey scale, so anti-aliasing is possible.

A client is asking to include a tagline in the header of their website, they are a premium agency.

Is there anyway to make Adobe Illustrator not scale up the stroke when I zoom in?

I plan to hire a graphic designer to design the cover and a few internal graphics for a book I wrote. Suppose the designer then finds some other artist's work, copy and pastes the graphics, and sells it to me, without my awareness. Would I be held liable? If geography is important, assume for the US.

In the book HTML and CSS, I came across the following quote: The web browsers on most desktop computers display images at a resolution of 72 pixels per inch (ppi).

Just like most of us, I regularly face the client desire to 'make the logo bigger'. Especially in web designs, clients want to inflate their logos to ridiculous sizes.

I'm working on a design that's to be printed. The size of the item is 1/3 of a standard letter page.

I have a rectangle (4-node path) filled with a gradient which I now want to bend along its vertical axis in such a way that it resembles the curvature of another Bezier curve that bends in two places.

Photoshop CC allows exporting CSS. When I try this with a gradient layer, the whole thing is basically an image. I was thinking it would produce complex CSS for the gradient. Is this a limitation of Photoshop CC or is there a way to get the actual CSS needed to create the gradient.
