In 3ds max, I need to reset the model matrix without changing the position of all vertices. Does anyone know how to do this? EDIT: I didn't know that the model matrix was called a "pivot".
I am looking for the easiest and quickest option to apply blue and white (or green and white) to an image. Basically, I would like to have a shade of another color instead of gray scale in black and white effect.
I'm sure there's some tools available. Other than hand designing browser windows, other programs and export transparent wireframes? Has anyone made browser windows themselves with illustrator or Photoshop? If so, did you follow a strict workflow or abstract Windows from Balsamiq?
I am writing a game application and I was planning to use the Geometria typeface for small bits of text in all-caps (such as RESTART, NEXT LEVEL and so on). It looked just perfect but then I realized that I had misread the license and I am not allowed to do this without paying a license fee. Can someone suggest a free replacement that looks equally professional? I have tried other geometric sans-serif typefaces but none of them look quite as good. This is Geometria:
I'm using illustrator, and had many artboards set up. As I was creating more, I noticed that there is a bigger square in which all of the artboards reside. What is it? How do I make it bigger/smaller? Here is an image to illustrate.
I need to get the name of the font used in this image: The guy who did the logo just took an existing image of the "UTOPIA" writing and slanted it to fit the cubes, so he doesn't know which font it is. I'm pretty sure the guy who did the original writing told me the font name somewhere in the past but I can't contact him now (I'm in a hurry). I can remember the font has a 6-letters name, though (or maybe seven, but I think it was six). Font services won't even process the image... I guess the slanting and the presence of the logo are preventing them from recognizing the fonts.
As I understand it, if I create a font and give you a copy, that doesn't give you the right to publish a billboard/flyer/book/etc using my font. There is an additional license required. Many fonts provide that license, but also many don't, including fonts included with popular software. How do you ensure you aren't violating a font artist/foundry's rights when using their fonts? EDIT: Answers relevant to US law are preferred. Information about other countries would not be unhelpful, though.
I'm working with animation timeline in Photoshop CS6. I would like to have a small circle layer expand / increase in size, but on the Layer-Timeline panel, these are the only options available: Position Opacity Style Vector Mask Position Vector Mask Enable How can I make a layer increase in size during my animation?
Fireworks used to have System Anti-Alias in the options, why is it not there anymore? Does anyone have a solution for it?

I'm preparing a proposal for a Japanese company and have been asked to create a sign. I've been asked (by an American) to use a Japan-esque type of some sort on the signage. I would like to respect cultural sensitivity by making sure we're not going to offend. Any ideas?
I am a graphic designer hoping for some legal advice. A client of mine owns a small company that makes equipment repairs solely for a larger equipment manufacturer. My client’s company name also includes this manufacturer’s name in it. For example “Location (manufacturer) repairs”. Currently my client’s logo includes the manufactures name, font, and an image of their equipment. They are wondering if they are legally required to have the manufacturer’s logo or at least font as part of their personal company logo. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. -Christine
Let's say I have 100 photos in a folder. On the first one, I would like to change the Hue to -180, and save it. On the second one, I would like to change the Hue to -170. On the third one, I would like to change the Hue to -160, and so on. Is there a way to batch process with a different value each time?
What is the font used for the phrase "For the game. For the world." in the picture below ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I was wondering if anyone knows which font is used in the titles of the TV series "Masters of Sex". I have come across this sans serif font before, almost always in a 60's office setting. It looks like some sort of Futura spin-off (?) and I particularly like the lowered middle bar of the capital 'E'. Any help would be appreciated!
I'm trying to recreate this: I know it could be easily done manually, but I'm wondering if anyone has come across a tutorial or knows how to create this automatically with actions in Photoshop? I want to be able to select a number of photos and be able to create something similar automatically. If anyone knows anyway to accomplish this efficiently with any software I'd really like to know.
I'm using adobe Photoshop CS6 my question : Sometimes my hand is just too fast that i accidentally press "escape" and i go back to the usual screen view, i want to stay in full screen mode without having too worry if i press escape too much. Any way to solve this?
What is the font used in this logo? I tried many places and could not find a match
I wanna know this font used by FIFA in some events. I have also posted at dafont.
I have a PDF (exported from CAD) that I am working with in Illustrator CS5. Lines in the PDF are made of triangles, and I would like to convert the lines to be a single stroked path. What is the best way to do that using Illustrator?
I want to construct a correct cube in three-point perspective (not eyeball it). Assuming I have a horizon line, the three vanishing points and one edge of the cube (line a), how do I know how long the other edges (lines b and c) must be?
I've been trying to lay out my type on a baseline grid. The head of my department always wants me to add more leading between my headings and body copy. I've attached two images to illustrate what I mean. I create the left column but am told to adjust it to look like the right column. Is proper to give more leading to the header in this way? His experience is in web design so I believe his knowledge of typography is lacking.
I am trying to achieve, for lack of a better term, a speckled shading in Photoshop. I'm not getting the right effect using noise (even with a gaussian blur) or setting the layer to dissolve. Here are a couple of good examples of what I'm referring to (they are not exactly the same, but they seem to employ a similar style): (less so the top edge, more so everything else) I'd appreciate any help (and, if I'm referring to this technique incorrectly, please let me know)!
After following many tutorials about pattern making using pattern maker and brush pattern in Illustrator and then offset in Photoshop, I couldn't make the below image into a usable seamless pattern :( It is the complexity of the "wave" shape that makes it difficult to achieve; most other tutorials and questions here in Stackexchange talk about simple/square patterns.. this one is different. Download AI file Any suggestions?
I have a simple cropped picture of a cornet (my gravatar, actually). However, it is many tiny scratches that it has accumulated over the years (it's 50+ years old). Anyway, because the photo was taken with a flash, they are showing up as tiny white specks all over. What is the best way to remove them and still maintain the natural lighting gradient and hue? I've tried blurring, but this only blurs them. They are still there. I've also tried smudging, but this damages the hue. I've thought of using the clone stamp tool, but there aren't many areas without scratches and the lighting effects are different everywhere. What's the best way to go around this problem? This is the picture with the scratches. Open it in a new tab to see higher detail.
I'm a beginning freelancer and I have a client that wants character concepts (napkin sketches) then finished card art. He also wants a 3D figure of the character to create playable tokens. So he will need an STL file for 3D printing. My concern is with pricing. I am new at this and pricing is where I have no experience at all. I thought of charging $100 for the entire process of concept and finished card art including the revisions during the sketching part. Then for the 3D character, I thought of giving an estimate based on the complexity of the character. I thought of $12 an hour for this. Here are some samples of my artistic level so you can judge if the pricing is right or too high. The client has a project he wants to launch on Kickstarter.com I live in California and graduated two years ago with a bachelors in Game Art and Design. If my estimates are wrong, can anyone give me a better idea of what I should be charging?
I saved my .psd file as .pdf to - well - see a pdf version of it. I think I might have unchecked the thing that keeps it editable and keeps the layers. Is this revertable? Can I get my psd file back? I kept working on the .psd file but it's nowhere to be found. Thanks in advance
I have a PNG file that looks fuzzy when I view it in any browser. However, opening the very same file in Photoshop, making no changes, it looks perfectly sharp. Why does this PNG look different when there is no difference in the file? Is there a setting in my browser that could be making the file look fuzzy, or a setting in Photoshop that makes things look sharper than they really are? I have checked to ensure that I am viewing the image in the browser at the full proper size (it is not being resized by the code). Totally stumped.
Please help me identify the font with the unique capital A. Update: This font is also believed to have been used for the Stranger Things title sequence

As an example, is there an easy way to crop away the o's in the Google logo using Gimp? The result should then be "Ggle" with a smaller image width than the original because the o's are missing.
I have removed the white background on a child's crayon drawing of a butterfly. I want to layer it over a coloured background on a poster but the edges of the butterfly are very ragged. How do I soften the edges of the butterfly so the line separating the background from the butterfly is clear and sharp? I want to retain the texture in the rest of the drawing so that it still feels like a crayon drawing.
I'm pretty new to making graphics for a specific platform but not to graphic design in general. I have a logo I made using Illustrator and had scaled it accordingly by using the Save to Web feature of Illustrator and then added it to a canvas in Fireworks. In Fireworks the icon looks really crisp, even when I view it in Windows by using the built-in image Preview context menu. Its a square logo sitting at 70x70 pixels. However, when I add it to my application and I pin it to the metro start menu in Windows, it looks blurry. What do I need to do to make my image look sharp, crisp, and overall correct on the Windows Metro OS?
I remember drawing this tea bag with the pen tool. I then made some coloured rectangles around it, played around with the shape builder tool (if I recall correctly) to get the coloured shapes to stick around the tea bag. Then I accidentally removed the tea bag, and now I would really like to know how to easily re-create the tea bag.
What are some places or areas where one could donate graphic design services for the greater good? I don't really mean local not for profit organization, but more on a regional, national, or global scale. Local non-profits are often a specialized thing for a specialized (not always "needy" group). I know I could hit my local Goodwill/Salvation Army and offer to volunteer my time. However, that would just be my physical presence not my expertise. I'm curious if there's a way to donate design services to large caregiving organizations. Something that would assist a global community rather than the company themselves. Do you donate? How?
So let me explain the issue. Say I have layers A-Z I select layers A, B, F, R for example, make a change to those layers, but then I go back to doing other things so I deselect those layers. Is there anyway I could have saved that selection of layers, so that I could then comeback later and make more adjustments to them, or do I just have to reselect them each time? anybody know? p.s. it isn't an option to group the layers as they're from all over the document tree and grouping them doesn't make sense for moving them later.
I gave a possible client a price estimation for concept of a character, and making it 3D as well. Now I find out that my estimation is double what he is paying his current artists. He never mentioned a budget and I believe he was under the impression I was a college student that would work for $50. He even mentions that he has an artist with 40 years of experience giving him concept work, for just $150. I find it highly unlikely that this is true. With so many years of experience, an artist wouldn't sell their work for $150. Their work is worth so much more. I feel this client was trying to take advantage of me. Now I'm in a tough situation. Part of me wants to salvage the situation, apologize in some way and accept $150 for my work. Likely he won't give me that now, since I don't have the experience to be worth that. Doing that however feels like I'm saying "I'm sorry, I'm a cheap artist, I'm not worth more money but I dared ask for more. sorry about that, please still hire me." In this economy, every penny counts. Even if I did want to say "just give me 150 bucks for something that clearly costs more", how would I say that professionally?
I have used a whole bunch of applications e.g. Acrobat, Inkscape, SumatraPDF, Foxit that use the following shortcuts for zooming and panning, Scrollwheel = pan up/down Shift + Scrollwheel = pan left/right Ctrl + Scrollwheel = Zoom in/out Is it possible to get this behaviour in PS with a plugin or something? I realise there is an either/or option for setting scrollwheel to pan or zoom but not both with a modifier. I could use the tools and default shortcuts but they are really clunky and require me to move to and from the mouse, esp. Ctrl +/- to zoom in/out.
I have several hundred packaged .ai files but I need to know all of the fonts used is there a script or something that can generate a list of all the fonts?
Large website design with many, many layers. Need a way to move one element to the new designated group without dragging forever in the layers palette.
I am trying to create an effect where glowing "dust" made from a particle simulation is flowing off an object (that looks a bit like glass) while it flies through space. I have got a particle simulation but don't know how to get it detailed or react to air behind the object. I was going to upload a picture of what I have but Maya crashed. Here are examples of what I want flowing off the object. Also I was wondering how to create shimmering particles in the background
What's a relatively simple image that could be used as an icon to symbolize "Relevance", such as Search Relevance? I really can't think of anything that would be instantly recognizable, or even that a user might guess was the thing they were looking for. The best I've come up with so far is a magnifying glass with some other symbol inside: A symbol indicating relevance score, like a percentage (%) sign A symbol indicating relevance weight, such as balancing scales or a literal weight A symbol indicating intelligence or learning, such as a graduation cap or light bulb But I don't like any of these because combining 2+ objects makes icons look clumsy, and more importantly, none of them seem to immediately convey the purpose of the icon. Anyone have a better idea? Edit: I'm looking for a single icon to represent the concept. Users will click the icon to re-sort a list of search results according to search relevance (e.g., instead of alphabetical or by date). The context is a web-based application serving users in professional service industries (legal, financial, academic, etc.) so it's got to be clean and professional looking.
I have two lines at different angles and I want to get a corner from each line to be in the exact same position. Here's a visual: The general problem is that I'd like these two lines to appear perfectly flush and and joined. Maybe there is a better overall way to accomplish this.
I was searching around and I found this question here talking about how a designer knows when thier work is 'good'; and it has a lot of crucial information. My question is almost an extension to this: How do I know when I'm ready to start doing professional work? Right now all the jobs I do are for school so they are free/very discounted and they are all for friends who've hired me. I feel like I may be ready to start doing some small-time freelance work (like on Etsy or craigslist, for example) to get some portfolio pieces and to make some money on the side, but the thought of actually freelancing beyond the confines of a class assignment is really daunting... I'm scared I'm going to start taking work orders and then get in really over my head.
I have been trying to figure this out for the last hour, but have not been able to yet. I am pretty sure this is a very basic operation. Can anyone provide me the url to a basic tutorial or just the steps? I just need to extract one icon from the grid of icons (pack of icons) that I just purchased and save it as a .png file so I can customize it with Adobe Photoshop.
Here is a picture of my website (and also the link) as it is now (still under construction). I've tried various combinations in term of font size, font weight, etc. but can't find "the right" balance so external advice would be much appreciated (especially for the top part: header, menu, sub-header). What would you change?
In Microsoft Word, you type 27th and hit a space the th date suffix will resize and go to top margin with a date suffix format. In Adobe Photoshop I have to often make a new layer for adding date th, nd, rd, st with extra spacing and resize the text. Can Adobe Photoshop do this? Easier way around?
Any tip is welcome, as any suggestion of monospaced and pixelized fonts
I'm trying to create a sort sort of semitransparent blur filter image that I can use over some backgrounds on a website. But Photoshop doesn't let me to do so on an empty layer. Is there a work around? Or maybe I could achieve a similar effect in a deferent way?
When I am trying to delete the edges I selected the script editor gives me the following message: Warning: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya 2014/scripts/startup/cut Copy Paste.mel line 194: Nothing is selected. and it does not delete the edges. Has anybody encountered the same problem as I have?
How can I simply draw this shape? Is it possible to draw such shapes alternatively behind and front?
I really want to do this kind of effect where it looks like a person is disintegrating away, but I have no idea what it is called:
INTRODUCTION AND RELEVANT INFORMATION: I am a programmer who needs to put an EMF file on a certain place in my applications main window. My clients didn't give me the file I need, but I was given the PNG image of it. This is a problem for me, since I am a complete beginner in the area of graphics design/editing. I have never used Photoshop or any similar program. After using some free online tools for sharpening and resizing of the picture, I was able to get an acceptable quality. I have stumbled upon this tutorial, during my search for a way to convert that "enhanced" PNG to EMF. I have made a print-screen of the desktop, cropped the logo from the tutorial with Paint, and tried to repeat what I saw there. I was successful. I have tried to do the same for the picture sent to me, and it seems that it worked. All I needed to do is to save it as an EMF, which I did. PROBLEM: When I use the EMF file in my code, everything that was white in the original PNG is transparent, yet white color should have remained in some parts of the picture. To illustrate exactly what kind of a problem I am facing with, I have uploaded PNG file, and the resulting EMF file here. MY EFFORTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM: I know that Inkscape has white color as transparent by default, so I have tried to alter it in Document properties to yellow, and to try the same method described above again in hope of success. Unfortunately, that did not help. I have tried to find the similar question here, but search engine shows nothing. I have tried finding solution on the Internet, but it seems that nobody saves images made in Inkscape as EMF, but as SVG which is expected. The only thing left for me, in my humble opinion, is to "insert" white color where necessary using text editor (like Notepad) , but I do not know how to do it, since I do not know SVG standard. QUESTION: What can I do to make the EMF file look as the PNG submitted above?
SEE the link: http://samuelgeorgeo.com/cc/NEWDESIGN/ I have a site based on Twitter Bootstrap. I have two main elements on the page, the bottom one is a horizontal form. I would like the bottom div to be horizontally centered, matching the div above. Here is a screenshot: I want the form to be center and in horizontal form. Could you help me?
I am currently studying graphic design. I am using the Against the Clock portfolio builder for Adobe Illustrator CS6 to learn the program. I have had no problems until recently. The book is asking me to set my CYMK color value to C15-M25-Y45-K0. The resulting color, as shown in the book, is a golden yellow sort of color. However, when I put the exact same color value in my Illustrator program, I instead get a very faded brown. To get a color similar to the one shown in the book I have to set the value to C5-M50-Y100-0, which is drastically different from the value given to me. I have provided a link so you can see what the two values look like. On the left is the color with the value provided in the book, on the right is close to what the color should look like. Click image for full resolution (Never mind the second open file. I opened it after I saw the color not coming right, since I new it had object with a similar color to what I needed.) I have followed the book to a t, and I have gone over all the color setting to make sure that they are correct and, as far as I can tell, it is correct. I have also printed out the images, to see if it was perhaps simply my screen messing up the colors, but the color is the same when printed.
I am currently trying to add equations created with LaTeXiT straight into Adobe Illustrator CS6, but somehow the "font" changes. I've tried scrolling around the Internet to see if I could find out how to change this but without luck. Is there anybody who knows how to fix this problem so I get my LaTeX fonts into Illustrator? I am working on a Mac.
I completed my undergrad in Graphic design and I'm currently looking for a job. I'm aware that I need a portfolio to be considered for an interview. I would like to know ideally how many pieces of work should I submit? Also, while creating a portfolio piece is it ok to borrow content from websites or other work(posters, flyers etc).
The black and white photos in the Proof Copy of my book (non-coated paper) are washed out and have no deep blacks, or hardly any blacks. Working from InDesign to a PDF file, how do I ensure that my B&W photos are printed with blacks on a digital printer, in this case CreateSpace POD?
Is Blinn material from rendering ribbon implemented only in spherical objects and not to objects like prism,cubes etc ?
I've been designing buttons for a while now but when it comes to selecting the color(s) for the hover state of either a gradient or solid its been mostly been a matter eyeballing a darker tone. Is there a structured color theory out there that would help better judge what would be a more appropriate tone to use? How dark should I go from the original? How can I define lighter or darker shades of the "same" colour?
I really don't have an eye for this. Can someone identify this font please: It is a menu of the OSX app named Brackets - i think this font looks awesome but i can't with certainty seem to identify it.
I would like to render/generate a CSS pattern that looks something like green poker table felt or AstroTurf. Is this possible? Alternatively, would an image-based pattern be a better solution? If so, why?
Background Information I'm working on creating a semi-monospaced font that will mimic a seven-segment display. There are many existing fonts for this purpose, but none of them quite fit my needs. The intended use of this font is for a few different web applications to mimic the appearance of a clock. The sample below is an example of how I'd like to use it. In order to simulate the blinking colon, I would like to continually toggle the text between the following states: 08:54 08 54 The problem Since seven-segment fonts are typically monospaced fonts, the space character is the same width of one of the digits. As you can see in the graphic above, the colon is much thinner than the digits, so I cannot just use a standard space (U+0020). Here is a live JSFiddle example. As a placeholder for testing, I've just used the thin space, but I'm not sure that's the best choice semantically since there are many whitespace characters available to select from. Which one should I use for this purpose?
I've been exploring design trends that use various ways to lay out text data (i.e. an Email app, Search Results, Blog Posts, etc.), and so I'm curious if anyone has any ideas for new ways to display such information? Off the top of my head I can think of two key layouts: Lists: The most common way of displaying sections/results/posts, usually including a title and a small to large section of content text below it, with all items stacked on top of each other. Examples of this would be your common blog, a mail app, or even the this site's home page. This design, of course, has seen a multitude of variation, like titles-only lists, color blocking, thumbnail inclusion, and so on. Grids: This design pattern has become more prevalent in the past few years, and with rapidly advancing web browsers has been easier to pull off. The idea is to display your sections/results/posts in [fixed or dynamic height] box forms, with anywhere between 2 and ∞ boxes per row. The table layout has been around forever, but has since been typically unfavored amongst designers who opt for more control over spacing, height, and flexibility. More recently Masonry designs have been used to create somewhat of an interlocking brick style layout for these boxes. Examples of Grid and Masonry layouts would be the WordPress Fresh page, Pinterest, and Dribbble. Additionally, Microsoft has made use of Swiss grid layouts with their Windows 8 "tiles". My question to you: given that we've overused lists and grids, can you think of any new way to display text results/posts/sections in a user-friendly and intuitive way?
So I have this image as vector and a grunge image as vector: I can easily mask the grunge part from the image in Photoshop: But when I try to do this on Illustrator with pathfinder always get funky results: I can use the Pathfinder tool on simple one object at a time, subtract from front etc.. But how can I make this with these all layers and groups? Vector file
Inspired by: The new Kellum method Adobe Blank GitHub: jpkempf / zero-width-web-font ... I'd like to add non-spacing and non-marking glyphs to a font I've created in FontLab Studio 5. The only problem is, I'm not sure how to do it. Question: How do I create non-spacing and non-marking glyphs (in FontLab)? I'm using FontLab Studio. Though, I would be open to hearing how I'd go about making non-spacing and non-marking glyphs in general (or, in other apps). I'm hoping that even if I don't get FontLab Studio-specific guidance, maybe hearing how to do it in other apps will point me in the right direction for when it comes to using FLS. Note: This is for a "logo" web font. I'd like to type "Business Name", where the "B" is the logo, and the other letters are non-spacing and non-marking glyphs.
This seems to be a recurring problem when cutting shapes directly in half when using Illustrator's 'Divide' tool. While the shape may look ok in the program itself when I output it as a png or reduce it to a smaller size in a raster-based program like Photoshop a white line appears right down the middle. Is there a better technique to avoid this?
Lately I would like to get involved / to learn in graphics design. Since holidays are in full swing, I thought I would use this time. I have used GIMP before, although very minimal and Blender. Both of which seem a bit complicated to me in terms of usage (perhaps this was due to the fact that I didn't really have the interest for this). But now I do and I would not mind investing money in getting one. My question here is: 1.) How do the aforementioned compared to Photoshop? There are so many different kinds of Photoshop and so: 2.) Could you please cite the difference between them (i.e. Illustrator? CS6? Photoshop?) I hope some of you experts can enlighten me on this based upon your personal experience, as I am trying to get my feet wet here. My primary use with it would be in conjunction with iOS and Android Development. Happy Holidays.
ok , so I have made an image , something like an icon , and I select the whole image using group selection tool to export it in Jpeg format . But when I view this file , there's always some white space around the icon , to make it look like a rectangular selection. Is their any way that I can export ONLY the image/icon , without the extra white background due to artboard ?? I am using adobe illustrator CS6 here is the image :
I am kinda on a tight budget and I want to start designing stuff on a computer screen and I am looking for a cheap but decent tablet so i can start using Sketchbook pro as a start.

I'm trying to export some images of a photoshop design and this is how I usually do it: select the layer you want. command + left click the thumbnail to create a marquee around the layer copy it (command + c) Create a new file (command + n). this will create a file with the exact dimensions as the layer paste in the copied layer. (command + v) save for web For certain layers I get stuck on number 4 where photoshop doesn't know that I copied something onto the clipboard so the right dimensions aren't displayed. plus pasting doesn't work because for some reason it was never copied. I don't know if certain layers cannot be copied simply by pressing command + c?
Similar to what can be done in Illustrator is there a way to apply one fill to multiple selected layers with or without the hotkey, Option/CMD + Delete vs. applying the fill to each individually?
i would like to know the name of this classic font.The best part of this font is, it have diagonal shadow font.
I typed a short piece of text in GIMP, then I want to fix the kerning manually so I want to move the letters closer to each other. But when I select the "move" tool and click on the appropriate part of the image, I only seem to be able to move the entire layer. How do I select a certain part of the image and move it manually?
I'm trying to figure out how to reproduce the exact typeface of a font being displayed on my web site in order to use it as a typeface for a logo in Adobe Illustrator. The text is AJ Acevedo in the header of http://ajacevedo.com. Which appears to be an italic and bold version of 'Lucida Grande'. At least on a mac using Safari. The problem is that a bold/italic version of 'Lucida Grande' does not exist. A close comparison reveals that the browser is not falling back to the 'Lucida Sans Demibold Italic'. Here is the css for the .site-title .site-title { font-family:"Lucida Grande", "Lucida Sans Demibold Italic", "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Sans", sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-decoration: none; } The question is: How do I reproduce the typeface that the browser is displaying for .site-title in a native OS app like Illustrator? NOTE: If you do not have 'Lucida Grande' installed, your browser will fall back to 'Lucida Sans Demibold Italic'.
How I can make color transparent in Photoshop? For example, I have picture of smoke, and I want to make background color (which is black) transparent. How?
Since a freelancer usually (or from what I understand) takes on all aspects of their work, they don't really get hired for permanent positions and thus work off individual projects. A client hires the designer based off a portfolio and if the price/style/etc is a match, the project moves forward. At least this is what my understanding is. If a freelancer isn't interested in being hired for permanent work, do they need a resumé to prove their skills when a portfolio is (in my opinion) has a much greater impact on what a designer can do?
I created a simple straight line using the Pen Tool. Then I made 3 copies of it and grouped (Ctrl + G) them together to make a square. But now I can't fill a color for it. Even if I do it does not get affected. I wanna fill color just like when i do it with a rectangle tool.
Now I am working on compound paths and I need to remove all the redundant anchor points: so I press - and click some of them, but other ones are constantly disappearing, so I should click on V and click the path and - again, which is very disturbing. Is there any way to make ALL the anchor points visible ALL the times? I don't speak about Cmd+H of course.
I'm trying to create a clipping mask where my text takes on the colors of the picture underneath it. This is the desired effect: I have been able to create a regular clipping mask as seen here, but the text around the image disappears and gets cut off (also inside, in the white areas). Instead, I would like it these areas to be grey and not disappear.
I have an image I want to draw a 1px black border around. When I increase the canvas size the extra space will be transparent; I can't select a color here. Ordinarily I would increase the canvas by 2 transparent pixels, then placing a solid black layer underneath would do the trick. However, my picture is a graph in PNG with a transparent background. If I try the above the whole background will turn black. How can I draw a border around a transparent image? The original: What happens if I enlarge by 1 (equally transparent) pixel around and slide a solid black layer underneath: This is perfectly to be expected. If the original didn't have transparency only the extra pixels at the border would show in black. Hope this makes it more clear.
I'm trying to think of a way to visually depict the meaning of "wish" or "wishlist". I'd prefer to stay more on the side of "wish" than "list" as I'd rather avoid an icon of a list.
I want to create intersected curved line like this , I use Pen Tool but can not get the same as this , and searched a lot for already built through google , but all I got were curve lines not like this, any tutorial or any idea?
By block-layout, I mean style like these: Medium,Readwrite,Kicktarter There aren't too many on gallery sites(for example, Flat UI Design). Most of them are for product promotion, making a big focus at first. Like this: And I'm design a website needing block-layout, and really need more examples for inspiration. Where could I find them?
I found this font used in a YouTube video, but I had no luck to find its name.
I have an image that I'd like to blend into another image. Using the gradient tool to draw black on a layer mask works fine, but I'm limited to just straight lines or circles. What I need is a rectangular shape. I can create a rectangle and then add an inner glow effect, but I can't seem to add that rectangle to my layer mask... Any help would be great! I'm using Photoshop CS6.
I'm unable to set the Zoom level to 100% by using my beloved Shortcut Ctrl + 1 after upgrading Photoshop to its newest version (CC; 14.0; x64). I can still use the Zoom tool (Z) and click the appearing 100%, but thats not really handy. Is this a known (and maybe fixable) bug or indented behavour?
I work with Sketchup quite often to make 3D graphics for use in AfterEffects, Photoshop, etc. and with the most recent update (sketcup 2013), I have noticed an extremely annoying bug/feature that in some cases has prevented me from doing work. When I zoom in on my model, at a certain enlargement, parts of the model appear to be cut-away. Below is an example of this occurring in a model; The darker grey area is the exterior of the model, and the light blue bits and the white bits are the inside of the model. In this automatic cut-away view, any viewable surface (inside or out) can be selected. This gets extremely annoying when I'm trying to do work that requires extreme detail, which is quite often. Is there any way to disable this feature, or if its a bug, is there any workaround for it? EDIT: Photo of the rest of the model, as per request. It's still W.I.P.
Let's say I have a shape that I rotated at an awkward angle of let's say 34°. I close the document, return a few hours later, and want to straighten the it back to its original 90° or 0° angle. The problem is I don't remember the angle I originally rotated it at. Shift + Rotating nor resetting its bounding box does the trick. Any shortcuts/options I'm overlooking here? For example how would I rotate this quadrilateral so that it sits horizontally straight and looks like a box.
I have an end user who is the admin for a website and they insist on showing the available dates to the customer. They are showing the showings literally like this: 2-Mar, 9-Mar, 16-Mar, 23-Mar, 30-Mar-2014 6-Apr, 13-apr, 20-Apr, 27-Apr-2014 4-May, 11-May, 18-May, 25-May-2014 7-sep, 14-Sep, 21-Sep, 28-Sep-2014 5-Oct, 12-Oct, 19-Oct, 26-Oct-2014 2-Nov, 9-Nov, 16-Nov, 23-Nov, 30-Nov-2014 7-Dec, 14-Dec, 21-Dec, 28-Dec-2014 My question is, how can i easily and elegantly displays these dates?
How do I convert a shape path to a working path in Photoshop CS5? How I have tried: I have searched through the tools in the program and search through forums and the Adobe help site on the web.
I was recently watching a Lynda.Com video about color and scale in relation to typography. At the end of the course, the instructor challenged the viewer to create a travel poster in 20 minutes using the concepts she outlined previously and the provided materials (copy, background, etc.). Simple enough. I came up with this: Her solution to the same problem was this: My question is, hers seems more professional and "complete" than mine. I'm having a hard time understanding why. I chose the slab serif typeface because it reminded me of the rocks of the canyon. She chose a similar typeface as well as a chunky sans serif to match it. I chose a sans serif as well, but wanted a contrast to the slab so I chose helvetica neue condensed regular in all caps. I wanted the Grand Canyon text to be well, grand, so I made it extend beyond the edge of the image as if there was more to see than what's given. The instructor chose to place the text only over the front most piece of rock wall. I don't understand why her choices in scale and proportion were a better choice than mine. I would think that the context would ask for HUGE lettering.
I'm trying to get the <path> data for an SVG file I'm creating with Illustrator CS4. It needs to look something like this, where I'm interested in retrieving the numbers inside the d attribute... <path d="M100,0 C155.2286,0 200,43.7106221....etc." id="myID" fill="#444444"></path> The problem is that no matter which settings I try, my SVG file output does not contain this <path> element. It only contains an <image> element looking something like this... <image style="overflow:visible;" width="200" height="200" id="myID" xlink:href="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAMgAAADICAYAAACtWK6eAAAACXBIWXMAAAsSAAALEgHS3X78AAAA... I'm looking at various online tutorials like this one. It shows settings that output the <image> but at the end it jumps to an output containing the <path> just like I want. The problem is that it's not really showing anything about how to get to that point. No matter what I do, I only see <image>. Thanks. EDIT: I'm getting closer. I finally realized that to get a <path> I needed to convert the raster image to vectors. I used the "Live Trace > Make" option. Now my output contains multiple <path> elements as well as the <image> element... how do I get just one <path>? EDIT 2: As per a request in comments, here is an example image already created by somebody else. It's an RSS icon represented by a single <path>... <svg width="200px" height="200px" viewBox="0 0 200 200" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <g stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd"> <path d="M100,0 C155.228476,-3.41060513e-14 200,44.771524 200,100 C200,155.228476 155.228476,200 100,200 C44.771524,200 0,155.228476 0,100 C0,44.771524 44.771524,3.03201907e-14 100,0 Z M40.0135555,79.4855784 L40.0135555,102.780614 C55.2214198,102.790103 69.6051125,108.763989 80.3694989,119.544636 C91.1311742,130.291394 97.0806631,144.696768 97.1050629,159.95749 L97.1131962,159.95749 L97.1131962,159.999512 L120.504488,159.999512 C120.485511,137.809245 111.465711,117.709228 96.8827535,103.115434 C82.2970845,88.5243505 62.2051899,79.4991339 40.0135555,79.4855784 Z M44.7525423,155.112773 L44.7471201,155.112773 L44.7525423,155.118195 L44.7525423,155.112773 C47.7008537,158.048883 51.7200459,159.849046 56.1947014,159.849046 C60.6747791,159.849046 64.7034602,158.054305 67.6531271,155.118195 L67.6639714,155.112773 C70.6082161,152.172597 72.4056694,148.168318 72.4165138,143.718064 C72.4056694,139.259678 70.6082161,135.255399 67.6531271,132.304378 L67.6585492,132.304378 L67.6531271,132.300311 L67.6531271,132.304378 C64.6993935,129.369624 60.6747791,127.55726 56.1947014,127.55726 C51.7214015,127.55726 47.7022092,129.365557 44.7525423,132.304378 L44.7525423,132.300311 C41.8110087,135.24591 40,139.259678 40,143.718064 C40,148.17374 41.8110087,152.173952 44.7525423,155.112773 Z M40.0555774,62.9029686 C93.5271714,62.9416349 136.994841,106.477281 137.030841,159.999512 L160,159.999512 C159.984,126.919781 146.538769,96.9493582 124.809601,75.2055351 C103.073766,53.4683787 73.1233263,40.0151548 40.0555774,40.0004883 Z M40.0555774,62.9029686" fill="#444444"></path> </g> </svg>
I am very much interested to know how images with text of different sizes and fonts are created. Can any one please suggest any tutorial to ease the process?
Thanks in advance for any help with this! I'm creating consumer instructions with many steps and associated graphics with corresponding figure numbers. For example, Step 6 refers to the graphic labeled Figure 6, etc. My question is, when I have to add or delete a step in the future, can I make ID automatically update both the step and figure numbers to accommodate the change? I'm working with Photoshop CS6 and placing graphics into ID--perhaps using a layer for the Figure numbers would be helpful? I'm after something like what MS Word does when modifying bulleted and number lists. Thank you!
Wasn't sure where else to ask this, but I have just finished The Interaction of Colors, which is an excellent book by a Bauhaus legend. I had one glaring issue which I wanted to bring up-- in one of the plates demonstrating the concept of colors influencing each other, the author asserts that the small squares in the below screengrab are exactly the same color. note artifacting errors caused by sub par scanner, but I wanted to include a prop for show and tell. As you can see, even with the knowledge that colors can influence each other and present illusions, that it doesn't look like those squares are the same color. I have read that later editions of this book (this particular edition is a later edition) suffered from reproduction errors, and this may be one such error. Does anyone have a picture of the original or some insight into what color the small squares actually would be?
I have a problem where I can't decide how best to zebra stripe my tree with css. The problem arises because when you click on a node in the tree, its children will become hidden, but still count towards the "odd vs even child" selectors. A possibility is to bypass that by writing selectors that count children & parents separately and start the children with the opposite color from its parent, but if you have an even number of children, the last one will be the same color as the next parent. So, to make things a bit easier to understand: [Parent - gray stripe] [child - white] [child - gray] [child-white] [Parent2 - white] The problem comes where the parents alternate striping -- I want to avoid it so that the children and the parents that follows after it are not the same color stripe. bottom line, this cannot be solved using css unless we physically add & remove rows, which will require us to change the implementation of the table we are using. Does anybody know of a better way to solve this issue?
How can I horizontally distribute objects along a path? Blend and Brushes don't work for me because they distribute objects evenly according to the distance along the path. I began by using the Blend method from this question. However, as shown below, the points aren't horizontally distributed as I would like. How do I get to the path and and objects displayed at the bottom of the figure below?
I redesigned this sprite sheet, based on Mega Man X in falcon armor. I designed it with Illustrator CS6 but when I exported it as a .png file and then imported it to PS CS6, I found that the character shook his whole body like crazy, while my aim was just breathing animation (head, chest and arms). I have tried a lot of ways and looked up on google but still didn't know how to solve it.
I want to have a bezier curve with a double line stroke. The LinkedOffset option for paths, when I apply it to an unclosed bezier curve, creates a linked offset object that is closed - ie, it draws a direct line from the end of the curve to the start that I don't want. Is there another way, or something I'm missing about this closure line?
I´m struggling with a assignment, where I need to animate a robot to walk. The animation is done, however now I need to make it loop, so it seems he is walking for a long time. I'm using the graphic editor, however something seems to be wrong. When I try to set the loop, some of the animation seems to be left out, and the robot begins to walk really awkwardly after the first 33 frames. Here is a video of the robot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3-EZo8tmx0 Not sure whats causing it, do you have a clue? :) here is the graphic editor with all the keyframes selected:
