In InDesign, I know that I can break a text box into columns pretty easily by selecting it and playing with these options: I also know that I can set up the margins and columns and then use linked text boxes to do columns: However, neither of these do what I want to do, and I haven't really found a really elegant solution, so I thought I'd ask here. I have one-column text box, but I want to do some columns, like this: This is easy to do in Word - you select the text you want to reflow, go to Page Layout > Columns, pick a number, and you're more or less set. But is there a way to do the same thing in InDesign? I've done things like tabbing and separate text boxes, but these are not very elegant solutions.
When I click on the little settings wheel in my brush panel there are various brushes listed on the bottom. 'Basic Brushes', 'Dry Media Brushes' and so on. I'd like to put brushes that I download or create in sets like these to so I can easily find and manage them. How do I do this? I tried to search on google but I could only find tutorials on how to create brushes and I want to know how to organise them.
I find that when using Photoshop CS6, the type cursor will have a dotted square around it (rather than a dotted circle) when hovering over a shape layer. How will clicking and typing be any different than if I were to click and type outside of the shape layer? Thank you.
I do a lot of work with Illustrator, but I've never been super happy with how my work looks on our website. I've tried various techniques - saving from Illustrator, and opening in Photoshop and saving - but I'm still missing something. Ed. The logo was only ever supplied as AI. I get the same slightly fuzzy result whether I'm saving for web & devices from Illustrator, or taking the vector into Photoshop. I tend to scale in Illustrator to the required size, and then save for web (inc type optimised - there's text in the logo).
Could anyone tell me how to create the tartan design shown in the attached file? Im using Illustrator CS6
Hey everyone I've seen this letter and now I can't remember where and how it was, or just an image or animated-kind of font, I need this image hi-res or the vector file of this, or somethnig close to it.
Can anyone tell me the name of the design style used for these types of designs? If there is a name for them, even. They're text heavy with different typography on just about every line and a sort of controlled chaos. I'm trying to find a good set of examples online but it's not Googling well and this isn't my area of expertise. Thanks in advance. Actually, after reading this question and searching some more, I feel like it's a bad imitation of hand lettering which will help to solve my problem. I may have phrased the question poorly due to my ignorance. Thank you all for your help anyway.
Occasionally a science journal asks authors to submit figures as CMYK (JPG or TIFF) for publication. When I have done this in the past, the colors in the figures end up looking very muted and washed out - even when published in print format. What I don't understand is that these same journals have published articles from others where the figures are nice and vibrant both in print and online in PDFs. My question is whether there is more than one way to convert RGB color to CMYK. The tools that I have tried (Adobe acrobat, Adobe Illustrator, Deneba Canvas, Apple Preview) all produce the same muddy images. Is CMYK actually too restrictive of a color space for modern printers? Doesn't it presume that there are only 4 colors of ink in the printer? I'm guessing that other authors have ignored the publishers request, and have submitted their figures in RGB or some other expanded color space; perhaps the publishers hardware are capable of a wider range of color than CMYK allows -- or is there more than one way to do the color conversion?
I have several PSDs, each PSD represents a page that makes up a small A6 magazine. Now firstly, I wanted to ask, do I send the individual PSD files to be printed? If so, what file type is best? (With CMYK) If not, what should I do? Should I combine them into one InDesign document? (Coulnd't find a way to import the PSD into inDesign) Help would be greatly appreciated.
A client has permission to show movies in a big screen for the public (nonprofit). I was asked to design a flyer to promote the showing. They want me to show the movie poster and make flyers with the information. Since it is a non-profit event, am I allowed to use the movie poster in my flyer? If not, am I at least able to type the title of the movie?
I'm watching a tutorial in which the instructor is cycling through blend modes for a pattern overlay and the shape layer instantly updates with whichever blend mode he has selected. I have read that this might only be possible on a PC and not a Mac - can anyone confirm whether that is true, and if not, the necessary shortcut for it to be possible on a Mac? (and a PC, to make the question more universally helpful :)) Thank you.
I just drew one black rectangle. I then changed the foreground colour to red and drew a second one on a new layer, but this remained black. I had to go into the fill options and change it to the red colour I desired, but I'm wondering why it was not enough simply to change the foreground colour before drawing the new shape?
I want to replicate the style of this logo: I'm using AI and this is what I have tried so far: 1) Create text, 2) Create polygon shape 3) Envelope Distort This is the result: As you can see the text is curved. Is there a way to re-create the "rectangular" effect of the original logo? Thank you in advance
I've exported tens (if not hundreds) of PDFs with InDesign and I've never experienced this problem. It's pretty weird... The problem is that grey boxes appear around some objects. Next to that, the image quality is very good in Apple Preview, but it's pretty bad in Adobe Acrobat X and Adobe Reader 11. What happens: All objects with an outer glow get a grey box around them (these include external images but also squares created in InDesign) Some images with a transparent background get a grey box around them (not all, seems random). Happens to PNG, AI, PDF. Image quality is very good in Preview, but bad in Adobe Acrobat X (grained edges). This happens to images, not to text (vector I suppose?) PDF details: All images are embedded All placed items are high quality I've tried: Exporting in the standard High Quality settings; both problems occur Exporting in press quality; both problems occur Exporting as Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3). This solves the grey box problem, but the quality problem remains. I've read somewhere that PDF 1.3 flattens? Maybe this can explain the grey boxes? Using this option is not really preferable since I would like to use hyperlinks in the document and PDF 1.3 doesn't support that. I'm using InDesign CS6 v8.0 Mac OSX 10.8.5 Apple Preview 6.0.1 (765.6) Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.1) Adobe Reader 11.0.0 The final document is a professional portfolio which will be send via e-mail so I don't necessarily need 300dpi quality, but chances are people will view them on big monitors so I was thinking at least 200dpi. UPDATE I've added a screenshot of an object with a transparent background where you can see the grey box around it. This is zoomed in at 300%.
We get a lot of questions in regards to what should my file spec be, what should I do with X and Y, how should I do my black etc. etc. and a large majority of the time we suggest to ask the printer which is an accurate assumption. Even though I think this is an accurate answer I think we should have a question that would help educate designers on what questions they should ask the printer. Knowing the right questions can help determine if the printer is professional and if you can meet the requirements. So my question is when print designing what questions should I ask to make sure my designs are compatible and high quality for print?
i have an issue with the vector shape in the background in an illustrator file, it appears differently on my client's pc. That's how it appears to me (the good one): and that's how it appears to the client: The vector shape in the background has transparency 50% and luminosity blending over the orange gradient color. My question is there any way to expand the luminosity blending option so the vector shape appear the same?
I have two layers; one with a gradient style on it directly, and one inside a group with the exact same gradient style applied. However, the gradient's range is the entire canvas, instead of the bounds of the shape(s) inside it. Here's a picture: Is there anyway to constrain the bounds of the gradient to the shapes inside of the group instead of the entire canvas? All other layer styles respect the layer bounds. One solution I've found is to use a mask on the group. However, that gets tedious with multiple shapes very quickly as you have to get the aggregate of the shapes and reapply the mask for every change.
When I use an Illustrator script using visible bounds or selection size on clipped art, the script sees the original size of the clipped art as the groups's size instead of its visible (clipped) size. Lets say I have a 150mm x 200mm image and I am using a clipping mask to clip out a 100mm x 100mm part. So now I see a rectangle 100mm x 100mm, then add some other elements on it -- it does not get bigger than 100mm x 100mm. Then I want to work with this size not the, original image's size. How to implement this in the script to work further with it? I am using Illustrator CS5.
I know nothing of graphic design. I've started developing for Android, and I want my interface to be beautiful, and for that I know it needs to be designed by hand, but I also know that means knowing how to do design work. Is Illustrator the right program to start learning? Is that used for this? To my surprise I actually didn't see any information on the subject after some googling. Everything you look up about "interface design for Android" tells you how to arrange buttons and menus and things like that, but not literally how to make the visual elements.
How can i achieve this effect in photoshop? is it hand drawn in illustrator or can it be done using a couple of filters and gradients in photoshop ? I found that picture while going through this page. http://www.digitalartserved.com/gallery/Various-Illustrations-2013/10068071
What's the name of the font used in the new iOS 7 note app?
I'm looking for quick, yet professional looking ways of making text stand out on a photos which don't really have nice bland areas to put text. Something which would take an experienced photoshopper 5 minutes or less to do. I found the image below as an example, but the text shadowing technique usually looks pretty amateurish. What is typically done in advertising circles? Blurring of the image, dodging?
So, I've got a Fixed Layout ePub. It was created in InDesign and published using Aquafadas publishing tools. I'm trying to figure out how to do text popups or quick footnote referencing on Kindle/Amazon/non-epub devices. I don't care how to do it, just trying to find ANY way to do it. I need to be able to test it on my office's Kindle/Kindle Fire. It doesn't need to be exactly like iOS's solution as seen in the picture, but some way to to have reference to footnotes in the back. (And if that solution is linking to pages in the back, I need a quick way to jump back to the page the user was on)
In text editors, html, etc. the default mode of sub title spacing seems to quite equal. Why is that? To clarify, we have an end paragraph of a subsection and a new subsection with title and opening paragraph. Looking like this: p1 h3 p2 Now the spacing between p1 and h3, and, h3 and p2 is usually by default equal or near to equal. Why is that? Is there some typography lesson to be had? To me it just looks plain wrong.
Is there a name to refer to this kind of (computer) drawing style: which resembles a little bit the style of the Portal 2 trailer?
I am in need of a font with numbers that look like this: Does anyone know of a font with numbers like these?
I have an image about 1000 by 600px. In Photoshop CS5 I could set the pixel width of the line to say, 3 px and drag the mouse from point A to B to create the line. Now, in CS6with the vector system, I cannot set the WEIGHT of the line to less that .35mm. I cannot create a thin line!! Grrrr
I have an illustrator file (actually it's a map) which has lines, polygons and some patterns. I would like to scale the stroke width of all lines (also lines inside patterns) by 80% without altering the patterns or the size of the objects. When using the Scale tool I must chose one of "transform objects" and "transform patterns" but I don't want to scale any of those, only Strokes. I could first scale everything by 80%. Then I could scale it by 133.333333% and leave out "strokes & effects". The problem is that lines in patterns stay the same. When I toggle "transform patterns" the size of the patterns changes including the stroke widths, but I only want the stroke widths to be altered. So does anyone know how to solve this? I do not want to have to select individual objects since there are thousands of them.
I am working on a web UI design and using adobe-photoshop. I have to make complete UI to show what exactly a screen would look after different interactions. Say, the following is the basic layout of the design, with four sections A, B, C and D. Now I have some 10 interactions and so 10 different files in which I'm showing that how section C varies on different interactions. So, I make the 10 designs and save them. Then later I realize that a change is required Section A. So I have to do the same change 10 times in all of those files. So, question is, is there a way, where I edit part(few layers) of a file once and it gets 'synced' across multiple PSD files? PS: I tried using Smart-Objects and saving sections as different PSDs and importing them, but nothing helped.
I have a PDF with 20-30 pages. I want to print them but with different numbers of copies for each page. Right now I'm using Acrobat Reader. I know I can do this manually by selecting the page in the thumbnail list and chose number of copies. But I want to do it automatically, something like this: 1*12, 2*7, 3*15 Maybe it's possible to script printing? My first plan was to make 12 pages of page 1 and 7 pages of page 2 etc and then print all, but that didn't work well when printing since each page is heavy with vector graphics and it had to send each page to the printer = slooow. Oh and I'm using Windows 7 when printing.
I'm a bit of a newbie when confronted with photoshop and Fireworks etc, I much prefer drawing mountains in paint. However, I've a wonderful idea for a site navigation element but I'm having difficulties. I have the original image and an image the size and shape of a jigsaw piece. I need to make the original image the same size and shape as the jigsaw piece image so that I can map the coordinates onto it for the html markup. Is this possible and if so could someone give me an idiots guide as to how I might achieve it please? Many thanks in advance.
I'm trying to perform an image-trace on a bitmap artwork. The vector result will then be cut into glass, and I need to have exactly 60 colors, since we only have 60 colors of glass. Is there a way to set up Illustrator to image-trace a limited palette of 60 colors? I've found the slider in CS6 that ranges from 2-30, but is there a way to force it to go over that? Thanks!

While designing a web site layout in Photoshop, on a 960 grid, sometimes we want to put some extra guides to use along with our main guides. Is there a way to give a separate color to some individual Guides?
Is it possible to make a .jpeg photo larger without losing "quality"? I have a photo that is 450px x 750px and would like to make it 3 times bigger for web not print? I've been told that Illustrator is the tool to make it happen and I have Illustrator CS6.
I have designed a Flyer using Photoshop. First with RGB colors, but I want to change them to CMYK. I use black, white and two pantone colors. Black is used for the text and there is the problem. I select the text, CtrlA, and select the color window in the option bar on top. I have unchecked the Only Web Colors checkbox. I enter C0 M0 Y0 K100 and observe the RGB value in the same color box change to R29 G29 B27, the CMYK values are still C0 M0 Y0 K100, so I press OK and apply in the option bar. Next I reopen the color window in the option bar on top to check the color values. I see the CMYK values are not as I entered before but they are C75 M65 Y62 K81. The RGB values are the same as before, R29 G29 B27. It seems the CYMK values are converted to RGB and the CMYK values are discarded. Whatever I do, I can't have the desired result. Which setting do I have to change to allow CMYK in Text?
can someone tell me how to get the corners and lines from one image changed so that they look as comic like as in picture 2?
I'm wondering if there's any tool or method that I can use to determine where the midpoint is between any two objects in Illustrator. To give a simple example, say I have a simple rectangle at the top of my artboard, and another at the bottom. How can I find the exact centre of the area between those two objects? Additionally, how can I find relative central points, such the centre of the area between the central points of each object? Despite the simple example, I would also like to be able to apply this method to finding the centre point between any two objects, of any shape and placed anywhere on the artboard.
How do I make this picture white on transparent background and keep it's semitransparent parts - (Background is already transparent).
I'm from programmer background. I would like to mimic the color scheme used in most Google Android app such as GMail, Google Analytic, to use them in my own app. Those color looks Elegant Harmony Comfortable I was wondering, usually, for a designer, how does they generate such color scheme?
I wanted to make something like the AwolNation Megalithic Symphony's album cover with the cliffs made into letters. So far I've gotten no where mainly because when I try and use the pen tool and make a mountain picture into part of a letter it looks super ugly. How would you go about making this? Example: 1) Finding a cliff picture 2) Pen-ing the character 3) etc.
I'm working with a team on an app that deals with events(conventions, meetups, weddings, etc) and travel. The closest competitor would be Epilogger. One section in this app is called Activity(ies). The content in here is fairly identical with Facebook's News Feed, or any other social media's content feed. Its basically a list of items(photos and comments) posted by users during an event. I am having a hard time conceptualizing an icon for this. I'm not sure what I want but I know what I don't want: newspaper, pulse, or any specific activity. I'd love some guidance or any input on the matter. So my question is "What are some ways to represent this term as an icon?" And any shared resources, tips, and/or guidance would be very much appreciated. Edit: I use these sites quite a bit for referencing in times like this. I'm sure somebody will also find it useful. Pttrns, Android-App-Patterns, Mobile-Patterns.
I apologize if this question has been answered already, I'm not experienced with Photoshop and not sure what to search for. I'm using CS4. I have a grid made up of different layers, basically like a checkers or chess board, where each square is a different layer. I've decided to change the color of some of the squares. I'm trying to find the best way to do this. It seems I can do this by setting tolerance to 0 on Paint Bucket, since my squares are monocolor. However, in the future they might not be. Is there another way to do this, besides selecting exactly the right pixels first? I saw a suggestion that I can "lock" the layer pixels so that transparent pixels aren't overwritten. However, the options are not available in my Photoshop version.
How can I make this logo in Photoshop? Please teach me how its possible, or give me a hint what to search for to find tutorials for similar results. Thank you.
I am basically looking for a software (free for students) to have mechanical 3D features (extrude, fillet, etc) and very basic animation capabilities (like different positions for a membrane to open an close a valve). It should be capable to export to other formats like jpg or pdf. For example Autodesk 123Design is good but it does not export to any good format. I am not looking for something complicated like Maya and always have problems of putting lamps, lights, etc. Autodesk Inventor also looks very nice for designing but the rendering is not that straight forward. Any idea?
Which "effect" is a greater visual indicator for a line which looks to be travelling into the screen? A color gradient, or greater to narrower width (starting at full width on the bottom and narrowing as the top approaches)?
As a Freelance Production Artist, are clients entitled to native files? My now ex-client gave me images to edit for their website and marketing g and are now requesting all the PSD's so they can have for further editing.
If I try to draw a grid in Inkscape, there are two different options: Extensions -> Render -> Grid Extensions -> Render -> Kartesian Grid But both of them use pixel-metric(?). Is it possible to use other metrics (e.g. millimeter). As a workaround, I converted pixel->millimeter, but it didn't work. There is always an odd scale factor in the conversion :-(. Do you have any solution?
I want to color an object in Photoshop and I would like it to look like the tree in this image, with darker edges. I know I can do this manually with the brush tool, but is there an even quicker and easier way of achiving this effect? Thanks in advance! Nena
Basically, I'm a programmer and I'm pretty new to graphics design, and I don't have much knowledge of the keywords used by the graphic design community. That's why I'm facing problem in googling this out. I've an image like this:- As we can see that there is only one color in it. How can I convert this icon into a red color, white color, or a custom HEX or RGA colored icon? As it is only one color and have a transparent background so I believe that this is pretty easy. But I don't know how. Basically, I'm a GIMP user. If you can tell me this in GIMP then that would be great. However, if you can tell me this in Adobe Photoshop then I can search for similar technique in GMIP. Thanks,
I'm trying to redraw a diagram, and I'm having difficulty recreating the base spiral: I need to make the concentric spiral part. Can you help me?
Is there a way to hide the contents of a clipping mask in photoshop? I don't want the clipping mask to show through in areas where the clipped layer is transparent. Images might make it clear. My layer setup: Without clipping mask: With clipping mask: Desired result: I know I can manually adjust the clipping mask to cover only the areas that the pattern covers, but that is too much effort since the pattern consists of a lot of layers and is quite irregular. Is there another way to simply make the clipping mask never show its own contents?
I need to find a font just like Lato font that includes a Latin Extended version. I like Lato but it doesn’t include characters from Latin Extended and so I can’t type ş, ğ etc. Here's an example screenshot: I’m using this font for my web-site project.
I have an object that has been rotated and attached to another. I now want to detach this object and rotate it so that it is straight again. The object consists of multiple boxes so surely there is a way to rotate it so that one of the faces is straight along the z axis? Is this possible?
How do I draw a simple rectangle with no fill in Inkscape? To my knowledge, the "Stroke style" doesn't give me this option.
When I do any kind of point editing with Inkscape, I will have an object (A) and delete one of the points hoping to get C, but instead I get B. I understand why this happens, it's so curves can be made more optimal, but very often I don't want my handle types to change. It is tedious enough making sure points are no-handles corners without Inkscape continually messing them up. Is there a different way I can remove anchor points that will retain the handles of its connected anchors?
Is there a way in Inkscape to set the boundaries of the svg file the way they would be set if you export as a bitmap? I want that there's no whitespace above, beneath, right or left of the object that I select.
I am learning on a PSD file, the final picture like below, I really want to know how to make such a shadow effect. I hidden all the above layer, and the shadow layer is this: Does anyone know how to do it?? I have this question for days, I asked in other place, but nobody answer my question.
What considerations do I have to think about when I choose whether to set line spacing at 90%, 100%, 110% or 120% when I design a diagram? Is there research about the effects that different line spacing has on the user?
I'm not actually a font designer. I'm a web developer who's using Glyphicons, a library of icons encoded as glyphs within a font. I'm using them in Bootstrap 3 and they're really great because they scale to any size and can be set to any color, making them really flexible for web design. Anyway, the icons within Glyphicons are great but there are many icons which simply don't exist and I would like to create my own custom icons. I actually managed to do this by editing an open-source font with FontLab Studio 5 and adding my own custom glyph. Here is the glyph viewed within FontLab: And this is the result when used in a web page: For comparison, here are some Glyphicons at the same font size: As you can see, the Glyphicons look much better, even though they're both outline fonts. I'm guessing there is something you can do to improve rendering at specific font sizes, but I just don't know what I don't know. Any pointers in the general direction would be appreciated.
I have 15 years of notes (2 sided) on very random scraps of paper. I would like to photograph or scan them and create a collage type book where the b page is the back side similarly arranged (angles, etc.). Any suggestions about the best way (scan or photograph) or a good program that could make mirroring the b page simple?
I've got a font called Lato, and I need to add the characters İ, Ğ, ğ, Ş and ş. How can I do this? 1st photo is the original. 2nd photo is the same font that I upgraded:
I have a 700Kb JPEG file (white cardboard texture) that I'm using as a background on a website. A file this large takes too long to load for snappy page hits. I don't need the full resolution, a reduction in image quality is fine, but I do need to keep the JPEG the same size (to fill the entire screen). What would be a good free PC or web utility that would allow me to modify a JPEG as described? I'd rather not use Photoshop or other professional software.
I have a large number of elements (triangles) that together make up a bigger object. Each triangle has a slightly different fill color and no edge color. A part of the surface is shown below: The problem is that although zooming in to 6400% still doesn't show any disconnection or overlap (see below), the thin edge lines are still visible. Does anybody know what is causing these lines and, for me more importantly, how I can get a smooth transition between the different triangular elements? Since the images above are with transparency I tested without transparency as well. Without transparency the lines are still there, but now they are white.
I'm working on a project that needs to draw pictures of human lips. I just wonder if there is a program to draw a human face (or simply lips). Thank you so much.
Is it possible to open a .jpg in Fireworks so that the canvas size will automatically fit it? At the moment I have to get the dimensions of the image, create a canvas of this size and then drag the image into it. It's just one of those little annoying things, but it all adds up...!
How can I change color of this vector in Illustrator? Each triangle is different. I want it to be in other color tones like brown, grey etc.
I'm a complete novice to Photoshop CC and I feel like I'm missing something very obvious, but I can't find the answer. I want to re-size my 1024 x 748 image to 1024 x 768. When I look online, it simply refers me to the "Constrain Proportions" option box to accomplish this - for example, like in this pic: However, when I go to the Image Size option, all I get is this: I have no option to constrain proportions or not, and if I try to resize my height to 768, for instance, it tries to scale the width along with it, which I do not want and stretches the image. Am I missing something very obvious? Thanks.
The program for which I'm creating svg doesn't display text that I create in Inkscape where Inkscape saves the text as flowRoot. When does Inkscape choose to use svg:flowRoot? Is there a way to tell it to convert a field with svg:flowRoot into svg:text?
I am trying to identify what looks like a regular typeface for client. This is from their logo, which they only have as an image. I also included the full image, but I am not sure if the "J" is from the font or custom.
Is there a way to preserve multiple spaces in HTML export?
I have this source in Adobe Flash CS6 (AS3). var loader:Loader =new Loader(); imageViewer_mc.addChild(loader); loader.x=65; loader.y=50; loader.load(new URLRequest("image.jpg")); image.jpg size is 200px X 400px and viewing nice in pages. But when I replace it with 600px X 1200px Image, It doesn't have previous size. I know that something is wrong with my code; But I don't know where is it. My clear question: How can I load different images in a loader with same size? ( Can I fit images to their container, imageViewer_mc?)
Here is a video with the bug. Resizing text with the bounding box can't be restored by character styles. No matter what you do, you have to create a new point/paragraph text and start all over again and never, ever resize it with the bounding box, which is really annoying. Any idea how to reset the font-size if you used a bounding box to resize the text? Thanks & enjoy,
I know it depends on the device but I am having a hard time locating GUI element sizes in regards to browsers, keyboards, etc. etc. for Apple and Android devices. I have searched through Apple's developer documentation but nothing related to size and I am new to Android design so I am unfamiliar with any documentation that would mention anything. So my question is: Does a document or site exist that indicate what keyboards, browsers, and the like use in pixel dimension size for devices? Keyboard example for iPad landscape:
After using only free fonts I am now considering using paying fonts for a client of mine. But I realize that although free fonts can be tested at will on one's website, that's not possible with paying fonts. So how do people deal with this problem? There will be countless cases where a font looks good on the font's site, but then once installed on one's website it doesn't match it so well. Do you just request a refund or something? What is you want to try 2 or 3 paying fonts before choosing the one that best fits your website?
I'm working on some site banners that need updating and I'm having a few issues with dimensions. My internet screen is set to 'view actual size', so it's not zoomed in and my images/slices are always saved at 72ppi (not that it matters much for online?). When i screen grab one of the existing banners from the website, with a view to keep the size the same and simply refresh the image to send to the developers, I'll drag the screen grab into photoshop and draw a slice around it. The dimensions of the slice are 1553px x 330px. However, the developers have asked for the dimensions to be 786px x 164px, and have apparently had to resize all my previously supplied banners which were 1553 x 330. Any ideas on why the two dimensions would be so different? I can't understand how they can have such a gap in size. Any ideas/suggestions would be very much appreciated!!
I'm a little new to illustrator. I designed a little logo in illustrator that comprises of several layers. Now because I have some of this layers interact with each other different using the blend mode, the image looks alright when I'm working on it in illustrator. However saving it is a different story, my blending modes are lost and the image is altered. If it helps I'm using the .SVG format Much Appreciated.
I want to replace the whiteness in pixels with transparency in the same way as described in this question - i.e. for lighter pixels to be made proportionally as transparent. All solutions found via google are based on magic wand or other methods that do not work for my needs. I'm sure there used to be a way to do this in earlier version of Photoshop (a simple functions to replace a colour with transparency), but I can't seem to do it in CS6. Replace Colour has no alpha options..
I have traced object which contains lots of polygons. Something like this: What I want is to outline this object similar to stroke, with solid color. How to create a simple object which is actually outline of my object?
If I use a cap on a line, usually so I can make an arrow, it is always black despite the stroke color. Is this a bug or am I not understanding something?
Inkscape can do that, but I've been told Illustrator is not able to export nested layers (sublayers) with attribute display="none". Is this true? If so, how can I have all my hidden sublayers be exported as svg elements with display="none"?
I'm trying to create a droplet for batch image processing that will put a border of 2 px all around, add 30 px to the top, then within that top space place some text that will automatically scale to the size of the pic, and center it. I've got all except the text added to an action, but fighting with the text issue: it doesn't place the text in the center and it doesn't scale it properly when I run various sized images through the droplet. Is there a way I can do this?
I have the following shape and text which I'm trying to lay on the shape. I certainly tried to put text on ground plane (not illustrated in screenshot), but I'm not able to get exactly the perspective matching to my shape's plane. Is perspective a right tool for this if yes, how to lay down my text?
How can I get a paint colorblock effect on the edges similar to what is on the edges of the red portion of Saul Bass's One Two Three poster? I have two layers, one is a background that is white. The second layer (above the background layer) has a rectangle selection that is filled with color. I would like the edges of color filled square to resemble the red edges here: (source: wellmedicated.com)
I wish to draw a rectangle with no fill, but only a stroke. I would like to erase a certain portion of one side, going out from the middle. I have attached a picture of what I would like to obtain at the end: I know how to make the box in Inkscape, but I haven't figured out how to remove the part in the middle such that it looks symmetric. Does anyone know if it is possible to achieve this latter feature in Inkscape?
Is it possible to add some (controllable amount of) noise to a path with Inkscape? When creating a fictional map, I would like to add rivers with the bezier tool, drawing the general shape, and then add some noise to make it look more realistic. I have had a look at the different filters and effects, and no one seems appropriate (but I might have overlooked the right one).
Can someone please help me figure out how to add text into the shape of a LETTER using inkscape? I keep trying and nothing happens. I type out the letter using the text tool, click object to path. Type out my text using the text tool. Select both and then click Flow Into Frame... nothing. What am I doing wrong?
Here is my MS Paint job on a real bad attempt at what I'm trying to achieve: I have access to Photoshop and Illustrator CS6, and I want to be able to draw a thick line (that is not straight) and have a pattern within the line show arrowheads within the line to indicate the direction of the line.
Sorry for confusing title. After I rendered my text 3D it looks like there is another text layer above the render that is red, even though there isn't. How can I fix this?
I've been experimenting with a technique called cinemagraphs. This technique makes animated GIFs where only a small portion of the scene is animated. Here's a quick one that I just made: So far, Photoshop does a good job with compressing the static parts of the scene. By masking only the moving part, you can save several megabytes. What Photoshop is not optimizing well is the duplicated frames. To get a seamless loop, I duplicate all frames and reverse them. In the example above, the newscaster turns to the left and needs to turn back to her original position. This always doubles the size of the GIF. How do I tell Photoshop to optimize the duplicated frames just like it optimizes the static areas? In Timeline panel's menu, I've already used the "Optimize Animations" option but that didn't do anything...
While watching PSD to WordPress Minimal Portfolio Theme in Tuts+, i notified that the author toggle the first group of layers GRID on the fly in order to move some elements, i jest see this group of layers toggle on/off without clicking in the eye. Is there a shortcode for that or it's a special plugin? Watch the link above and see what i seen!
I have created a circle in Illustrator with a radius of 12px. Now I'm trying to rasterize this into a .png from Photoshop to have the exact same size, but anti-aliasing is messing things up and the height is actually 11px instead of 12px. I tried both, exporting the .png from AI and opening the .ai file from Photoshop but I get the same result. So how can I rasterize my vector to match the desired size?
I want to do something similiar like this picture in Gimp (or Photoshop if required). Any ideas on how to proceed? Anything useful will be appreciated.
I'm an engineer, therefore my knowledge of graphic design are very, very, very poor... so please bear with me. I want to know how much space I should leave between two paragraphs for my thesis. I've heard from some friends of mine (who are designers) that you shouldn't if you are using indentation (that seems to be length=1em, according to Tschichold's Rules). However, is it recommendable to use both indentation and paragraph space? (we call it \parskip in LaTeX). If not, which one should have preference? What should be the length?
I have some straight paths with only two nodes (start and end node). They are short and I want to prolong them in the same direction that the line is. The paths are oblique-angled and not horizontal or vertical oriented. If so, I know that I could have used the Ctrl key to prolong in horizontal or vertical direction. Question: Is it possible to prolong the paths in the paths direction?
I am a moderate user of Photoshop and have never really used Fireworks. I have been given a Fireworks document which I need to modify. The document has just one layer, the background layer. On it are some icons and some of them have a semi-transparent border which I am needing to recolor. If I use the eyedropper tool on a border pixel, I get the semi-transparent color value which changes based on what color I have the canvas set to. Is there any way I can see what the original border color is/was, and what the transparency level is set to?

i have 3d object i want to take it to photoshop to paint but keep it 3d. What can i do. I have done dragging it. But it dosent help. Exporting from illustrator still causes it to be either vector or jpg/png.
I've got a .psd file with multiple layers. Some layers "seem" empty. I say seem because I cannot see any element on them but I am not sure that there aren't some 1px elements. How can I be sure that some layers are 100% blank so that I can safely delete them?
As a designer creates work, more and more "samples" start to stack up. With digital projects maintaining a library of past projects is fairly easy. All it takes is a dedicated hard drive and a backup. However, with physical projects the collection of samples can get rather large. I have begun contemplating burning a few piles of samples. Do you keep physical samples? If so, how many samples of each project do you keep? How long do you keep them? Do you keep all project samples or merely the ones you feel are "best"? How do you store physical samples? Are you concerned about degradation over time? If so, how do you combat that? I had considered a good photo shoot then maintaining the photos rather than the pieces. Is it imperative to have the actual physical piece so it can be held and felt?
