I need to extract vector paths from Photoshop into SVG format (or anything else Inkscape can use).
I don't have Illustrator, and buying it just to convert file formats seems silly.
So how can I get paths out of Photoshop into SVG?
If needed, I could write some code to manipulate files directly, but I'm not even sure where to begin to get the paths out.

How do I vertically center text in a box in Illustrator CS5? I cannot find a way to do that; in InDesign, it's a click away!

I really hope it's okay to post this. I am currently doing a pretty simple brief on collage/composition and so far it's really fun cutting up magazines and such but there is one exercise I'm a little confused about. I'm working on a double page spread (220mm x 190mm x 190mm). As it states in the brief here is what my tutor is asking of me:
PERIMETER
The perimeter is the outer edge of a page or spread – an area
often considered to be dead space. Content placed within this
area can change the overall feel of a design and introduce the
sensation of movement.
Exercise 3 uses: two images, three areas of body copy and a
line of semi-display type. You are to create a composition where
at least one or more edges of one image bleeds off the page and
the other image is framed, to explore the difference between an
active and passive use of the perimeter.
What exactly does he mean by the dead space of the page? I feel like the answer is really simple and staring me in the face but my brain is going NOPE. Does he want me to place my image/composition on the very edge of the page? Can somebody explain in greater detail what the perimeter of the page is (or show me an example)? Out of all 8 compositions it's the only one I'm having a bit bother with.

I am currently working on a lot pictures (around 1000) and would like to automate some tasks:
define a crop region that correspond to specific aspect ratio. For
example if i have a width/height = 16/9 i need to find the best fit
in an image that can hold this aspect ratio.
crop the image.
save the image as a png file.
can i automate this in photoshop or lightroom with a minimum of user interaction? Is there some better alternative than photoshop or lightroom to realize this task?

I am trying to produce a design which can be used to make a stencil of teardrop and heart shapes of various sizes.
The basic design is created by an equation in "Graphmatica" and inserted as a .bmp in paint.net where the lines not needed are removed and the shape selected with the smallest rectangle possible.
This is then copied and pasted into a page in Inkscape, with multiple copies scaled and placed to fill the page. It saves as .svg without problems and opens when the program is restarted.
However, I need a .eps file for the machine to cut the stencil, and when I use save as and the .eps option available the file produced "failed to load" when reopened.
I have little graphics experience and less of vector graphics. Any clues appreciated.

Question:
I'm currently taking a Japanese History course, and typing up (what I believe to be) a very pretty set of course notes. However, I'm having trouble finding an appropriate font. I'm currently using one of my Chinese fonts which has a medium calligraphic style to it, however it doesn't have great Japanese support. I am strongly preferential to free fonts, for the obvious reason of being a poor university student.
I've searched for Japanese fonts across the internet but I'm having significant trouble finding a Japanese font that matches my body text (EB Garamond). If anyone can point me in the right direction that'd be amazing.
(Please pay no attention to the grammatical/spelling errors, this is from the latest class period and hasn't been edited yet)
OP's comments: This was originally on the Japanese SE website, but they quickly closed and deleted it without consideration of the fact that their community was probably the single best resources for this topic.

I have just noticed that if you place a RAW image in a PSD(CS6), then tweak the RAW image using Camera RAW, the changes are not picked up by the PSD.
I always try and keep my PSDs as open to change as possible and placing is a big part of this. Usually I place an image in a PSD, then if I edit the image outside the PSD, the changes are picked up in the PSD.
With RAW this doesn't seem to happen. I have the following file-structure:
-- someFolder
-- somePSD
-- someRAWFile
-- someRAWFIleXMP
What I'm doing:
I drag the RAW File into the PSD.
I open the RAW File and tweak it.
Photoshop does not reflect the changes
I drag the RAWFile into the PSD
I then have the same placed RAW File with the changes reflected as well as the old placed RAWFile without them.
So even though both placed images are the same image, they reflect the RAW File at the time it was placed, not at its current state which is surely the whole point of placing a file. It seems that the image is encoded with the RAW settings at the time it is imported, but these are never updated.
What am I missing? Is this a bug or is there no point placing a RAW file?
[Note: Please could someone with enough rep add 'RAW' as a tag as it's inexplicably missing]

I created a custom Facebook icon using Inkscape and saved it as an svg. It uses the same font as the title of my page, which uses the font "ubuntutitling-bold-webfont", which I have referenced as a .woff in a CSS file. The title functions, but the svg does not - it displays the "f" in some sort default font. The font file is located at ../fonts/ubuntutitling-bold-webfont.woff in relativity to the CSS and image file, and at fonts/ubuntutitling-bold-webfont.woff in relativity to the web page.
I fount How do I embed Google Web Fonts into an SVG?, but I am a bit confused on how to apply the code to the SVG, if I even need to. Can the SVG use the .woff font referenced in the CSS file? Was the way I manually changed the font inside the SVG file correct?

I used Photoshop and Illustrator to draw a black circle of size 44 x 44px. For some reason, the edges aren't smooth. I've exhausted myself of all techniques to figure it out.
It looks particularly ugly within the iOS app where I'm using it.
I noticed that circular icons of similar size in IconFinder have same issue. Jagged edges. http://www.iconfinder.com/search/?q=black+circle#
Why can't the edges be smooth? If they can, what's the trick?

In following this tutorial on Using Text as Container which essentially explains how to create a path from a letter, I've run into difficultly when trying to follow this on any letter that has a counter... like a, b, d, etc. When I right-click inside the original text, and convert it to a work path, and then I click inside the work path to begin typing with a new type tool... letters! lose their counters and the path is defined strictly by its outer edge. See the screenshot:
How can I adjust the work path so that the counter is preserved and you can see the hole in the letter a like you'd expect?

What exactly do you ask for from your graphical designer for your iphone apps?
I asked my designer exact measurements of images in Photoshop, which turned out to be not such great idea because I need to ask for new images to support the new iphone 5, and if I want add ad-support I'd need new images as well.
What do you ask from your graphical designer to avoid these common scenarios?
I talked with my graphical designer and she said that it's possible to make high resolution images - higher than let's say bigger than iphone's 5 resolution, which is 1136x640. Then I could scale down the images size using Photoshop/GIMP as needed.
Another solution was to create the image in Illustrator, which from what I could understand, one can always change the resolution without altering image quality.

I've edited some images in Photoshop to be used in a .pdf I'm creating in Illustrator.
In PS, the images looked great and were saved with the following settings: .jpg/CMYK/Image Options: 10/Maximum. I "placed" them into the Illustrator file, everything still looked great, but when I exported the whole file as .pdf, the images came out slightly blurry.
I've used standard, High Quality Print, and Press Quality settings- didn't notice much of a difference between them.
Any ideas on how to have crisp, clean images in the .pdf?

I would like to be able to move the two handles for the bezier curve with the direct select tool the same way they are moved on initial creation of the anchor point.
When a new anchor is created, moving the mouse both extends the bezier handles and rotates them. When selecting an anchor point's handle with the direct select tool, both handles rotate, but only the select one extends.
Is there a way to extend both of them simultaneously without creating a new anchor point?

I would like to create a bevel effect in Inkscape. I am going for a very subtle bevel, that looks something like this one which was created in Photoshop:
First I tried the bevel filter in Inkscape, but there is very little control and most of the bevel types are unsophisticated. The closest one I could find to what I'm after was the "combined lighting" bevel filter. However, like all the bevel filters, it has no options to control the depth or width of the bevel, or to control the direction of the light source. The default light source comes from the top left, but I need it to be from almost directly above. This is what it looks like:
I can build a crude bevel manually by adding 4 shapes around the square I want to bevel, which, in a simple example looks something like this:
But this method is crude, as there is no subtle gradients at the corners, and in any case, it would be maddening to apply this method to a complex shape like this one:
So, how can I get a nice subtle bevel effect like the first image in Inkscape that I can save as an SVG?

I have a list of colors as RRR GGG BBB in a text file and I need to use only those colors to create my images. I'd like to be able to load those colors to Photoshop's color palette (swatch). Is there a way to automate swatch creation process from within Photoshop or some other way to create swatch file from a list of colors as a text file?
(P.S. there should be tags such as Palette and Swatch)
Upd: I have lots of colors in the list and my list is not the only one, users are supposed to have easy way to convert the list into Photoshop compatible swatch file so we can all start drawing right away.

I'm creating an illustration in Ai CS3 heavily using symbols. I need to create derivative symbols, out of other symbols, with lighter colors. The transparency tool is for color seek, but as soon as I get the right color saturation, I need to have the colors (including gradient stops) recalculated, as the objects have to be opaque. For example 100% black * 0.4 transparency has to become 40% black with 1.0 transparency.
I tried Flatten Transparency, but the product gets over-complicated (the shapes are lost, Ai creates additional groups and clipping paths).
So, what would be the easiest way to flatten the transparency the way I want?

SlavaSoft Paint Express is an image editor that I try to use for re-shaping one of my Android app's assets. It takes in a .png file, auto-convertit to .bmp (it can't work with PNG format), I do the reshaping, then save the .bmp file. Re-opening the file in SlavaSoft reveals the image file exactly how I have saved it, however, opening the same file in Photoshop, ABitmapEditor or attempting to convert it to .png via zamzar.com all produce the same erroneous output - they do not show the alpha channel.
Tried using the reshaped asset inside my Android app and the same - no alpha channel. What is going on here ? how come SlavaSoft sees the alpha channel while other tools do not ?
Thank you

It's an old question, but an important one. Let's see if we can get a good, nuanced, ideally evidence-based answer.
So, old-school wisdom (certainly, how I was taught back in the day) says that serif text improves the readability of long passages of text. The eye passes over the text more easily, there is less "fatigue" on the eye, and reading speed is improved. As I was taught, this is the reason why book typesetters almost always use moderately florid serifs like Garamond. Sans-serifs, according to traditional wisdom, are better for legibility - the letters are simpler, less room for error - and so are better suited for short text, like road signs.
Within the last decade or so - certainly since reading on screens became commonplace - I've seen an increasingly common viewpoint that this is an outdated myth - that actually, serifs are faster for reading long text for no reason other than that we are historically accustomed to reading long passages of serif text, and that long passages of well typeset, well chosen sans can be just as good for readability and fast reading, as people become accustomed to it.
There's also a third viewpoint I'm aware of, which says that the second viewpoint is a myth that comes from the fact that serif fonts tend not to reduce well on pixel screens, making sans type the better (least worst) choice for long passages of on-screen text or poorly-printed reproductions, but serifs still the best for long passages of printed type. Hence the popularity of websites with sans body text and serif headers, and of printed materials with serif body text and sans headers. Essentially, it characterises the arguments for the second viewpoint as merely pointing out that good (well produced) sans type is better than bad serif type, and maintains that, for extended reading, all other things being equal, good serif type is better than good sans type.
And finally, there's a fourth viewpoint that it doesn't matter anyway - that there are no differences between serifs in general and sans in general that are not merely artefacts of the differences between the example fonts and typesetting used in any particular test or comparison. There's certainly a case to be made for this in the context of legibility, but I've not seen anything convincing on this for readability.
All other things being equal, do serifs on a typeface genuinely make lengthy body text easier (faster and less effortful) to read?
Readability (as defined by the speed of error-free reading) is something objective that can be, and has been, measured. This is a factual question. Can we give it a solid, rounded, nuanced factual answer?
A couple of asides relating to common arguments I've seen:
There's an old-fashioned justification for serifs based on the idea that the eye follows a line of text, and the serifs, by hinting at a cohesive horizontal, help the eye along its way. The first part of this is simply not true - the eye moves in numerous extremely fast jumps ('saccades') we are not consciously aware of, and the motion between jumps is too fast for any information to be taken in. It's 'Jump-focus-jump-focus-jump-focus', leading to one awareness of the area covered by the jumps. However, this doesn't completely nullify the gist of the argument. It's perfectly possible, for example, that serifs could help create implied cohesive horizontals in the blurred areas of vision outside the fovea which could help the reading process by guiding saccades and/or making word boundaries more distinct.
A point is sometimes made about serifs being a cultural artefact. That's undoubtedly true - but it's interesting to note that many scripts have optional equivalents to serifs which, like Roman serifs, mark significant protrusions and corners, and which in some cases have a history that can't be put down to simply following popular roman typefaces. For example, they're historically important in Chinese (and therefore also Japanese) writing, and interestingly, give a sense of direction that is both horizontal and vertical (makes sense as historically these have been written in a variety of directions). So, it's not grounds for dismissing serifs as just an artefact of one cultural heritage.
Finally, a related topic has been touched on over at the UX site, and second answer has many interesting references, but that question has no clear focus between readability and legibility, and so doesn't give a definitive answer on the readability front.

I have 3 images which are of the same size and color (gray) and PPI and I want to put them in a new image together vertically. so I simply cut and drag each image to the new Photoshop document. it seems that the first image has the same color as the original image after transfer but for the second image (that is right below the first image) the color is a little reduced (lighter gray compared to the first one) and for the third image, that is right below the second image, the gray color is even lighter than the second one. can anybody tell me what should I do about this?
thanks

On Photoshop CS5, I had it set up so that whenever I saved a .psd, whether it were through cmd-s or the file menu, it would also save a file as a .png with the same name.
I upgraded to CS6 and now I have no idea how to recreate this. Sadly, or stupidly, I uninstalled CS5 so I can't attempt to troubleshoot that way.
Does anyone know how to do this? I don't want to have to run an action every time I want to save a psd as a png, I want it to happen automatically, every time I save.
I appreciate all and any help here.
Thank you, Jacob

Let's say i have an icon in grey scale, and now I want to change it into a certain green tone instead. The icon is anti-aliased around the edges, so it doesn't look too rugged, and I want to keep this anti-aliasing, but now in a green scale.
Basically I want to define that what was black should now be a specific green, and every lighter shade of grey should be an equally lighter shade of green.
Like the scale shown here, I'd like to change the scale of an image from [black to white] to [green to white]
How is this possible i Photoshop? Am I right, that this could be called a monochrome image?
Solved
It seems that "Gradient Map" does exactly this. Image -> Adjustments -> Gradient Map.
Here I've applied a Gradient Map Adjustment Layer to the grey scale

When I took pictures using my digicam, it saves those on higher size (over 1 MB) JPEG files. What I usually do is that I open them on some image editing application such as Paint (windows) or Preview (Mac) and then save it to another file using a different filename.
I end up having the same quality like the original (although I'm aware its not the same quality anymore) file but only to have it on a smaller size version.
I naturally suck in the graphics field and didn't have any inclination to learn the details back then, until now that I'm interested on starting a blog.
Could anyone enlighten me on this?

The splash screen at the moment for my application is far from catching, but I'm no graphic designer and apart from the fact it looks bland and boring, I can't really work out what I need to do in order to make it look more appealing and modern.
I've tried to change the background to an image, but that seems to make it look quite busy - and I've tried changing the font and position of the logo but I've never been able to come up with much better.
Any ideas? And also in general, what principles should be followed in order to create a good splash screen? I've found articles about designing various other things such as icons, logos and so on but never found anything referencing splash screens in particular.

I've been wondering if it is successful to have two or more designers work on the same graphic design.

Should I ask to design by myself, or should I learn to do it successfully with a group?

I have a semi-transparent monochrome image in a Photoshop document, that I would like to become fully opaque:

So I was reading two documents on typography and each classifies font types in completely different categories.
One document says we have : serif, sans serif, text, script, display and dingbats.
The other document says we have : roman, egyptian, sans serif, script and miscellaneous (to attract attention).
I went over different websites and each seems to "make up" their own categories (like slab serif).
So is there a standard way of categorizing fonts or is every one free to invent his/her own categories?

I'm using PowerPoint for a presentation (I know that other tools may be better, but not in this case).
In a transition between two slides, I've to zoom part of an image (which is a simple tree structure, with a root and two children nodes/leaves) and pass to the next slide, like if the next slide extends the concept of one leaf.
How is it possible to do that?
I tried with growing the tree image, setting the leaf to the center/middle, but I'd prefer using a better technique (a transition instead of a group of animations) or a proper plugin.

I am trying to find a tutorial on how to create the effect of an object (in this case a crown) hanging on the edge of a letter (on the end of a word).

I am trying to make it where the back half of the crown is hidden behind the K so it gives the effect of it hanging off the edge of the letter. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

In Photoshop, if you choose View > Show > Layer Edges, a blue border will appear around the currently-selected layer. Is there a way to make the marquee tool select that exact area? I know I can command-click on the layer thumbnail to select all visible pixels in the layer, but is there a way to quickly get a rectangular selection that matches the layer boundaries, or do I need to manually drag the rectangular marquee tool to match the layer boundary that Photoshop is showing me?
|
I have multiple partial screen shots of the same window. But since I created each of them at different times and since the I manually chose the select-area each time, the images don't line up.
I want to, for example, be able to open up one of the images in any "image preview" program and scroll through the images without them "jumping" left/right/up/down because of my inconsistent screen captures.
So, what's the quickest way to get the images to match up?
More:
The images all are mostly identical, with just a few parts changing from image to image. I need them all to match up so that when I look through them, the changed parts are obvious and so I don't get nauseated with all the jumping.

I am new to Photoshop and therefore in need to get familiar with it fast.
I wonder, if there is a way to divide Photoshop like a website, to make every picture (such as a website logo) editable seperately, so when I edit it, it automatically updates in the master Photoshop document.
This would be very useful to me, if Photoshop had something like this, for organization and ease of use.
I am making a website and I just have too many layers to manage.

in our office we have multiple users all using different levels of creative suite, they include CS5, CS5.5 and CS6.
Most adobe files seem to work fine when switching between different CS versions, ie. i can open a CS6 PSD fine in CS5. But with indesign files they dont want to open.
I know about saving them as an indesign markup file and reopening them but from a work flow point of view this is quite tedious.
Does any one know of a plugin that i can install on CS5 & CS5.5 that will allow me to work in native CS6 Indesign files ? or a batch converter tool that would allow me to drag a load of CS6 id files and convert them to either CS5 files or indesign markup files ?

I'm using Gnome, and have the profile installed through gcm.
When opening an image in GIMP and DigiKam, the results are quite different.
Both apps have Color Management (CM) turned ON, working colour space sRGB with Perceptual rendering intent and the correct display profile (from system). Examples below showing with and without CM.
The source image is sRGB.
With CM: digiKam presents smooth shadow tones whereas GIMP has very harsh shadows. GIMP gives smooth shadows if set to relative colourmetric intent.
Without CM: digiKam renders the image darker (or possibly with more contrast) than GIMP. (why?)
As I understand, the CM application's job is to take the image, convert from the image's own profile (sRGB) to the display's profile, then pass it to the screen. Possibly there might be another transform ( image file → convert to working profile → convert to display profile → display ) but in this case, I believe the image comes with sRGB and the working spaces are also sRGB.
Let's say, the purpose of the exercise is to make an sRGB image for use online. Can anyone advise on a way to get standard results?
EDIT: it was suggested that the digiKam and GIMP no-cm images were the same except for the crop. I apologise for sloppy cropping, but this is not the case as can be seen here in this division of one version from another (it would be 100% white if they were the same...)

I've recently been offered a job designing a flyer for an event that a local organization is hosting. I was asked if I could also include the project files so they could easily alter the design for the next year of this event (it's a yearly competition).
This is no problem with me and I will be sending them the project files for the design. What I do wonder however is if it is good practice to charge a bit extra for doing this? And if so, how much (in relation to the original cost) extra should I charge?
Thanks for your input!

Apple often uses what looks like a "light" version of Lucida Grande or Lucida Sans Unicode, as seen here:
I like the font a lot, but neither Lucida Grande nor Lucida Sans has a light version. Is this simply a proprietary Apple font, or is there some way of obtaining it?

how can I best replicate an ink-in-water effect in Photoshop CS6? I'm guessing the best way is most probably to use brushes.
The following image is a good example of what I wan't to achieve:
Thanks in advance, any help would be much appreciated!

Are there any typographic conventions/advice relating to footnotes?
For example:
When should numbers be used and when symbols?
Should the footnote symbol be superscript in the body text and at the start of the footnote or superscript in the body text and normal size at the start of the footnote?
How should footnotes be separated from body text. A horizontal line is common; are there other ways?
Should the footnote body start straight after the symbol or be indented or on the following line?
I had a look around the web but couldn't really find anything.

I'm learning about InDesign (using versions CS5.5 and CS6 - depending on which computer I use). I am competent at using it at a basic level - creating INDDs, creating joboption files for PDF export, and exporting to PDF.
However, it's creating book files which I am having a problem with. Although the act of creating one isn't hard for me (I can do this the same as creating a new InDesign document), it's how to select pages from existing documents for a book that's the problem.
I have looked up on Google how to do it, and although I understand it at a basic level, I need to try and get better on it. Currently I just create documents
all as one file which I'm not sure is the right way to do things.
In QuarkXPress, I could select pages and make a book fairly easily, but in InDesign, I noticed it imports the full document regardless of amount of pages.
As it stands, not every machine will have Quark, and I prefer InDesign anyway for the sorts of magazine I'm doing - a small local community magazine for non-profit organization, also available as a PDF on our website too for those who don't physically pick it up.
What would I need to do - create each page separately (in a subfolder where all the pages are stored, including images linked to, such as the following)
folder mytest
cover.indd
page1.indd
page2.indd
page3to4.indd (2-page)
page4to5indd (2-page)
etc. etc.
image1.jpg
image2.jpg
The magazine is about the size of this publication:
but we were considering making it this big:
(I'm not exactly sure what size)
We may be using glossy paper like in the above magazines, so what size would you recommend for it? (currently we're doing it at 212x294mm, with 5mm bleed, making it 222x304mm when it's a PDF)
(if you've seen these on the newsstands what size would you say they were in mm, are they about A4 size?)
As for master pages, am I right in thinking you can use one document as a source file?
My current project is a small, 32-page magazine, which has some articles, and some adverts in - is creating it as an INDD or as a book file the best way?
Either way, it will be exported to PDF in the end.
Any advice you have is much appreciated; it's not about the magazine content but the actual act of designing the magazine that's the issue, basically - should I do it as one long .indd file, or a book composed of several?
Basically, I'm just looking for advice on how to brush up my skills in some areas of InDesign.
(Just to add, it's a personal project not work one)

I'd like to know how to make these in photoshop or fireworks, but with a slight preference for fireworks. If I can find a tutorial in photoshop, I can probably get it to work in fireworks.
What is this type of effect called? Is it a particular font they are using?

I have a vectorial image which is fairly complex (got it off the web) and it is some kind of a circle. While the center of this circle is white it is not transparent. I've been trying to apply a compound path over the image which has a clipping mask and I get this error from Illustrator:
Cannot make a compound path. A compound path cannot combine a clipping mask with an ordinary path.
Would you know how to do this or how to actually make the center of the circle transparent while being in a clipping mask.
Here's the link to the actual image: http://www.free-vector-design.com/background-vector/abstract-circle-vector-1.html

I am creating a rather big photoshop document 3000x3000 which i want to print. I thought i took all the precautions:
CMYK color mode
300ppi
save as pdf and so on
Still when i save the picture as pdf or jpg, SOME, not all, of the blacks turns out to be dark gray instead. I really don't know what to do since I need the picture printed tomorrow.
Please help me out, if it helps I have the full .psd
EDIT
The different blacks originates from a "linear burn" blend mode on top of a black layer! which has no different black output in photoshop
FIXED - Solution:
I fixed the screen output by putting a black layer with the hex value #000000 on top of the other layers and setting it's blending mode to lighter color - which only doesn't allow the gray'ish black to shine through, but preserves the rest of the colors!
Again - thanks a lot for the quick response, even though your comprehensive answer did not fix my problem, I am sure that it will help a lot of other people...

I am working with a pretty complex traced AI that I received, and I want to basically make it so that all the visually black stuff is shapes, and all the white outlines (invisible here) are removed. Most of the spaces when a line crosses over another is created by a white outline.
I know about expanding appearance and the pathfinder tool, but because there are so many lines that are crisscrossing, I haven't had an easy way of minusing the fronts away. I could expand appearance and sort every object carefully, but I feel like there may be a quicker way of doing this.
If I put it in Photoshop as a smart object in 'screen' mode, it looks right.. I could put that back in Illy and trace it, but I don't want to complicate the paths.

Does adobe premiere cs 6 supports distributed rendering? I have been searching and have found very few info about it. If it does, could you point me to a tutorial on how to set it up?

How to design the 3D red cube in the 1st poster? (Love the design!)
http://www.coroflot.com/kevinburke/Posters
Of course, they have mentioned that they used Pixel Art, Maya etc, but is it possible just to create the 3d red cube and map background in photoshop?
Would really appreciate some tips! :)

In Adobe Illustrator CS3, how can I fill just the boxes of a plot with color? The plot displays as just one object in Illustrator, so it is not as simple as selecting the box object and filling it.

I have a lot of video footage in first person view, dramatic scenery, and a photo of an old man.
I want to combine them to make a background picture (1920 x 1080) that should transmit the message: this is what he saw, this is what shaped his face.
I came up with a picture mosaic, mixing pictures of the raw footage, but I found this unconvincing.
Then I thought about showing the face of the old man and putting footage into his eyes as a reflection, but that would limit me to one or two pictures of the footage.
How can I combine more pictures while conveying the idea of the first person point of view?

Say I have a texture/pattern (like this one from subtlepatterns), and I want to make it a specific colour. I know a number of ways to color it (mostly in PS), from overlaying it on a block of the color, adding a hue/saturation layer.. that way I can get it vaguely the right colour, what if I have a specific colour that I want it to mimic as closely as possible, say #e4caa5 as demonstrated here.
Is there a general process I can follow to keep the texture of the image on the left and apply the color on the right without too much trial and error?

I am currently making a popover in Photoshop. I managed to do the main part using the rounded rectangular tool but not the triangle part:
Is there a recommend way in Photoshop to do this triangle ?
EDIT
I have seen this post which is the closest to what i want but :
I don't want round corner
I want a stroke on the triangle but not on the basis

Working in Photoshop CS5, I deep-etched an image using a tablet. Where I thought I'd really gotten it quite clean and feathered the selection by 2x before inverting the selection and deleting the background, it in fact left a fair amount of background colour tracing around the edges.
What I would usually do is create a layer mask and use the brush on black to remove what's left. I was wondering if you perhaps know a faster, more efficient way of doing this?

**What are creative ways of representing user profile pictures on a homepage ( or you can call them avatars but they will always be a real small version of a real photo like 80x80 pixels in size.

I want to re-size the bounding box for an existing block of text. I found that by holding down the CTRL key on Windows, it will let you scale the text block, but I just want to resize the bounds of the text not scale it.
I've already looked at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-75d7a.html which describes out to SCALE the text as noted above.

I have three layers open in Photoshop.
Two are images. One is a text layer.
I flattened and merged the background image which I originally filled with black and applied a gradient to.
I then tried to apply HDR toning but the HDR toning option is greyed out although the Shadow/Highlighting is not.
Why can't I access my HDR toning?
I tried converting it to a smart object and ensuring it's rasterised; still nothing.

I have to design a brochure for a client. I don't understand much of brand identity, but my client says his brochure should reflect the following:
Professional
It should not be the flavour of the month
Must inspire confidence
Must reflect the strength of the team
"Our corporate promise is: Reliable Energy". Therefore, it should inspire reliability.
My question is, while designing, what are the things that I need to keep in mind so that I adhere to what he have asked for?
I understand that the design should be simple, with standard colour and fonts. Apart from that, how can I make the brochure reflect the list above? How do you translate this in terms of design?

The title says most of it...not sure whether I should set Photoshop to Monitor RGB color profile and set "show proof colors" to true when working on desktop layouts. I notice that Firefox uses my monitor's color profile and Chrome does not. If I select sRGB everything seems way off, especially compared to what I see in either Chrome or Firefox.
If it's any consolation, I am using two identical Dell IPS monitors (2209WAf). I have not calibrated them, yet, other then adjusting brightness/contrast based on color bars and other test charts (I know how to calibrate a video monitor off of SMPTE color bars, not saying I'm a pro at it, but I know these are close).
Just so you can see the dramatic differences between the 3 color profiles - here's a shot comparing the three (taking a screen shot in photoshop, cropping it down, saving as JPEG)

A friend of mine works a lot with CAD programs like AutoCAD or Autodesk Tools. To his birthday I thought it would be a good idea to present him with a graphic tablet for 3D applications. Unfortunately, I'm very unexperienced in this field :-) so my questions are 1) is it really a good idea and 2) what are important characteristics of such a tablet I have to consider when I select one. I could image resolution, and size?

I have created a layer where I have drawn a straight line of thickness 2px, I need to apply a gradient overlay of a certain pattern but when i do it, the layer mask is not taking it and I see no changes in the line.
I am relatively new to PS, I was wondering if anyone knew why this is happening?

Is it possible to have a noise filtered effect similar to below, but have the white parts transparent?
My idea is to use this as a CSS background image overlay .png which would allow background colours to show through.

I have a game project, and I also have a side-view character I want to put in it.
I have the character separated in multiple pieces: head, torso, arms, hands, legs... etc. Because I plan to make rather fluid animations.
I need to make my animations frame-by-frame(Frame1.png,frame2.png...).
I have managed to put all the body parts in Photoshop and animate him. Since you can't use timeline animation for rotating objects, I had to do it using the visibility tools (which was quite a pain).
Such technique works: it does output my animation alright. But it is very time-consuming.
So I'd like to know: do you have any better software ideas to do this? Something to make the animation easier to produce & export it?
I have considered Flash (you could even use tweening to make smoother animations and it also allows rotation alright) - but it might be a bit overkill for my purposes (I wouldn't mind using it if there were no other choices though)

I'm attempting to place the end of a line segment at the intersection of a circle and a guide in Adobe Illustrator:
I'm expecting the end of the line to snap into place at the intersection, but with no luck. Smart Guides and Snap to Point are turned on.
Here is a short video of the problem: http://cl.ly/K3tr
I'm using this guide/tutorial in order to "...connect a tangent line to a curved segment in order to create a smooth geometrically correct transition from a curve to a straight line..." - Tangent Lines to Curved Segments
Is anyone familiar with this method that could shed some light on why it's not snapping?
Thank you!

I'm looking for a way to simulate a permanent marker in Photoshop. All I have been able to find are pre-drawn brush strokes of circles, strokes etc. (Permanent Brush), but not a permanent marker brush tip which would allow me to draw/write whatever I want.
Can anyone recommend PS brushes for this purpose? I don't mind paying for them, so it doesn't have to be a free Brush set.

I have this favicon file.
Dowload favicon file
I can not upload the image file since its does not have the proper format.
When you view this file in windows 7, you get the following.
This single file contains the same image but at different sizes. The above shows page 1 of 3.
The following is page 2 of 3 which shows the same image but at a smaller size.
And than page 3 of 3 yet again at a more smaller size.
But it is one single file. My question is how is this possible and more importantly how can I make it such? A single file containing the same image with 3 diferrent sizes.
It shows 48px X 48px dimensions.
Since Adobe Photoshop does not support the ico format natively but if one use this ICO format plugin, install it and opens the file in PS, it will ask you which size image to import. The sizes are 16px X 16px, 32px X 32px and 48px X 48px.

I have unique shapes for my menu background, the problem is that the .png's are linked in the transparent area. I am looking to crop the canvases of these images in Photoshop to their exact unique outline. I need to remove the transparent area.
Here is a link to my image to help illustrate.

I've got some text somewhere outside of the canvas border but I can't find it. Usually using move tool I can squiggle around until it peeks onto the canvas, but this time it must be WAY outside.
I've hacked my way around the problem with copy and paste, but is there a "correct" way to pull it back onto the canvas?

I'm new to graphic design coming from a software development background. In this area, I can easily have feedback about my work by open-sourcing my code, participate to existing open-source projects, or simply ask others what they think...
At a moment I envisaged to participate to crowd-sourcing design sites, but changed my mind as it seems finally to be a bad idea...
So, where could I find the best comments and advice about my graphic design work?

I need to change over 60 web optimized images to fit their new containers. The current dimensions are 760 x 1024 or 1024x760. is there an easy or simple solution to manipulating all of these images to a smaller size without changing the height/width ratio?

In previous versions of GIMP only pressure was recognized by the brush tool. It wasn't much but it was simple. The new GIMP 2.8 introduces an all new brush dynamics system with a ton of customization and presets. I want to take advantage of it all, but I've gotten lost in the complexity, and the dynamics and tool presets that the new GIMP ships with don't seem to be any good, or at least I can't figure out what they're good for.
So, those of you who have figured the new GIMP out: which dynamics presets should be used when and in combination with which brush settings? Any cool custom presets that I should know about?
I'm using a Wacom Intuos 3 which reports both pressure and tilt. I've never used any other graphics program other than GIMP. I'm mostly drawing flat shaded, thick border cartoons as a hobby.

I am trying to create a single image from multiple photographs taken with the continuous shooting mode on my camera. The images are of a person jumping over a gap in some rocks.
What I would like to know is how to 'merge' these all together. The images all have the same background as they were taken from the same place, I just want to have the time-lapse effect, where the image shows all the stages of the person jumping? Does that make sense?
I know it's not the most advanced stuff, but I'm no designer! I just like playing around with my photies! :D
Thanks in advance.
PS. I'd like to do it in Photoshop, if poss.
edit : here's the URL to a webpage showing an example of how I want my image to look.
Also, I've managed to 'sort of' get the effect I want, using the Blend Darken option on each layer, but certain parts of each photo are now not showing properly. I'd like each image to still be nice and clear.

Do anyone know any algorithm which would calculate automatically kerning of characters based on glyph shapes when user types text?
I don't mean trivial calculation of advance widths or similar, I mean analyzing the shape of glyphs to estimate the visually optimal distance between characters. For example if we lay out three characters sequentially in a line, the middle character should SEEM to be in the center of the line despite of the character's shapes. An example enlightens the kerning-on-the-fly functionality:
An example of kerning-on-the-fly:
In the above image a seems to be too right. It should be shifted a certain amount towards T so that it seems to be in the middle of T and g. The algorithm should examine the shapes of T and a (and possibly other letters also) and decide how much a have to be shifted to the left. This certain amount is the thing that the algorithm should calculate - WITHOUT EXAMINING THE POSSIBLE KERNING PAIRS OF THE FONT.
I'm thinking of coding a javascript (+svg+html) program that uses hand drawn fonts and many of them lacks kerning pairs. The textfields will be editable and can include text of multiple fonts. I think that kerning-on-the-fly could be one way to ensure mean text flow in this case.
EDIT: One starting point to this could be to use svg font, so it's easy to get path values. In svg font the path is defined this way:
<glyph glyph-name="T" unicode="T" horiz-adv-x="1251" d="M531 0v1293h
-483v173h1162v-173h-485v-1293h-194z"/>
<glyph glyph-name="a" unicode="a" horiz-adv-x="1139" d="M828 131q-100 -85
-192.5 -120t-198.5 -35q-175 0 -269 85.5t-94 218.5q0 78 35.5 142.5t93

The algorithm (or javascript code) should examine those paths some way and determine the optimal distance between them.

How can I improve this design? I'm kinda new to this and I've just felt a bit demotivated because I've been dealing with a difficult person.
I intend to make the color of the copyright notice darker and add padding around the logo.
I'm not sure about the blue sidebar on the left, but I was asked to make it similar to cia.gov website in terms of the color and side menu. I was also asked to add flickering star animation to the logo. I'm not too keen on the idea, I think it's a bit cheesy.

I have an app idea which is based on the use of cartoon characters; I would like to include a single image of cartoon characters with their names, the app will be purely for reference and free.
However, I'm worried that as most cartoon characters are copyrighted I could be subject to legal action. Am I covered by fair use?
I know there are some cartoon characters which can be used as they are in the public domain however there are very few of them.

What's the easiest way to do it? I know CSS could just set background color of text very easily. And fireworks was able to do that. But I can't make it work now. I know there is a harder way: putting a rectangle below the text. Or putting the text inside the rectangle.

Is there any way to add an outline to a brush so that when stroking a path it will give a sense of depth and layering where the path overlaps?
As an example, here is an image of footprints. How could I add depth so that you can tell which footprints came later on (i.e. on top of other footprints)

I have type 1 fonts in pfb format that I would like to use with Inkscape on a Mac. However, I can't get Inkscape to find them. The instructions seem to be only for Linux or Windows, but I assumed things would work like in Linux. I could not find *fonts.cache-1 files in my system, it seems like what fc-cache does is to populate a few locations like .fontconfig/ with *-le64.cache-3 files (I assume this to be the same as the *fonts.cache-1 files).
I copied the pfb file to ~/.fonts. From a verbose output of fc-cache, I could see that this directory was read and included in fontconfig's cache. But when I try to open a pdf file with this particular font, Inkscape does not use it and replaces by the default font.
I've searched the web to no avail, there just isn't a lot of material out there on this. I've successfully opened the same pdf in Illustrator by copying the pfb file to Adobe's local font directory, so I know that the font works. But for some reason, Inkscape doesn't use it. Any clues?
I am aware that I can convert the fonts from .pfb to .dfont or otf/ttf, but in my case it is just not practical.
I am using the Inkscape.app downloaded from the webpage (0.48.2 r9819), XQuartz 2.7.4, and OSX 10.8.2. Thanks!

I need a little help, and general advice, on what I can put on the front page of my software company's website. I realise that this question is not as specific as some may like it to be, but I hoped that someone here would be able to point me in the right direction any how. I have a theme/template to work around which I do not really want to change for various reasons. I have created a rough 'drawing' of what the homepage currently looks like.
As you can see, I have a table of reasons as to why people should purchase our software which I am quite happy with, however I think that it looks quite bare, so what else should I put there. I have expiremented with a slider, with some clipart to the left of some text, but for some reason it looked out of place. I think it was partly due to the clipart I was using.
However, since trying sliders I have read that a lot of people are stopping using them because they are not actually effective, and are switching to they static images instead. So does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should put on my front page? What would you expect?
I currently have two pieces of software for Windows and Mac and a support ticketing system. Though, I do plan on releasing more software for Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android and maybe WP. My 'motto' is along the lines of great minds think alike. If that helps your ideas in any way.
Thank you very much in advance

The previous version of Photoshop I used was CS4 and whenever I selected a portion of an image with the magic wand and hit Delete, it simply deleted that portion of the image (rendering it transparent). Easy!
In CS6, this is not the case. Now when I select a portion of an image and hit Delete, it brings up the Fill dialogue.
For example I have this picture (it's a Vauxhall Corsa). I want to use the Magic Wand to render anything that isn't part of the car transparent, so I start by highlighting some clouds with the Magic Wand like so:
Click on images to see larger versions
Now when I hit Delete, instead of that area of the picture being deleted as I would expect based on my experience with CS4, I get this dialogue:
My questions are:
Can this dialogue be used to achieve the functionality I want?
If so, how?
If not, how do I delete the background in CS6?

A while ago i bought an Android tablet, intending to use it as a web browser, ebook reader etc. I kinda liked the idea of being able to doodle on it for fun, so i bought a cheap stylus.
But here's my problem - the stylus "skipps". Its hard to start a start a line with it, and when i finnally do, it doesnt go smoothly, it leaves really big gaps. Its making the stylus totally useless, cause i dont need it for the typical usage of the tablet.
While testing the stylus on normal apps, i concluded that even tho sometimes it doesnt tap/drag the way i want to (enough to be very irritating!) it seems to work better than in SketchBook.
The sketchBook and tablet work absolutely fine when handled with a finger (its very rare for the tablet to not notice a tap, and all lines i draw go smooth) - but drawing whith my hands aint exactly accurate or comfortable.
Now, both the tablet were really cheap, the 4$ kind of stylus and 80$ tablet (Android 4.03, ~1Ghz, 512mb RAM) The tablet is [http://www.manta.com.pl/en/mid08/], the stylus is a noname from a company named 4World.
I searched the net, but didnt find anyone having similar problems with mid 08 tablets (probably thats because its a local-market product and theres hardly anything about it on the web)
In your experience, is this typical for low-price not graphic-design-intended equipment? Are there some typical solutions for such problems?
I checked better equipment and i found this:
Compatibility Compatible with all media tablets using capacitive
touch technology
Tested devices:
iPad
iPhone4(s)
Samsung Galaxy Tab, 1st generation (limited compatibility, suitable
for navigation purpose only)//seeems like this is the case for my
tablet too

so maybe this is a tablet issue, and buying a better stylus wont help, so i should just give up on drawing and doodling on my tablet?
Im not asking for technical or hardware advice per se. I would just like to know is there a technical issue that needs to be fixed, or is it normal for low price equipment and the hardware guys cant help me anyhow.
UPDATE
Ive got my hands and stylus on a Nexus 7 tablet. Drawing worked perfectly fine with my stylus. Maybe not the cheapest equipment, but perfect for doodling and thumbnail work in Sketchook for Android on the bus. My problems must have had their root cause in the quality of my tablet. Ill probably get myself a better tablet

This seems simple but I need to insert a black-and-white smily face similiar to this image. Are there any glyphs like this on the Mac. I got this from Microsoft Word it automatically does it when you type :)
