How can I achieve this type of super smooth liquid chrome texture? Is it done with 100% in Photoshop? Have tried this on illustrator with blending tool and bring it on Photoshop, and only use liquify tool on Photoshop but can't get this kind of smooth liquid effect.
Is there a way to link artwork to a repeat tile? Say if I want to exit out of the pattern and work on the original artwork or do I have to go into pattern editing mode everytime I want to make changes?
I have created a new window so I have 2 versions of my file to look at at the same time. I am wanting to have the windows appear like below. However when I go to window>arrange>tile it doesn't create two separate windows like the above - it just creates a new tab.
Does anyone know how to achieve this effect in illustrator? I've tried looking for tutorials and plugins but the spacing is imperfect. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
I've been searching for months for a solution to use a shortcut to select the one layer above the selected or the layer underneath the selected one. Because I dodge & burn with curves it's taking ages otherwise, And yes I know about the 50% grey layer ;) If you have any idea, I know there was a script online called Tog...
Inkscape 1.1 offers a number of useful new features and also bug fixes, but it seems that stability has suffered or some ugly little thing was overlooked in the rush to release the 1.1 version. In any case, the program now crashes so often and on the smallest of occasions that it's almost unbearable. Do I have no choic...
In Figma how do I match the radius of a round square to that of a circle? I am finding this very difficult to achieve, google brings up nothing unless I am searching the wrong keywords? Is there a mathematical term for this? Is there a plugin that can achieve this? As you can see from the above image its really hard t...
I have done this successfully without problem before, even in this same file. My Ai file is long, with a bunch of smaller charts and graphics all done in the same fonts and so on. Several of them, when I want to bring into Photoshop, I've been able to just use the Select tool and make a box and "copy" and then paste i...
Hoping to get some Adobe Illustrator advice here. I narrate through the video but I am basically trying to make a stroke (used as a PS term) on a group of objects but have the resulting stroke be it's own object. Any help is much appreciated.

If exporting assets via the Export As dialog, and choosing multiple sizes as pictured, Photoshop is now (as of very recently) adding incremented numbers to saved files. For instance, if I did this before, I would end up with: icon-platter.png icon-platter@2x.png This is good. But NOW, I end up with: icon-platter.png i...

What would be the best way to round one corner of a rectangle in photoshop CS6? I know how to do it in illustrator but am wondering if you would have merge and rasterise two shapes to get the one corner rounded look or if there is a way it can stay vector? Or is it achieved through a mask?

I'm sure I can do that with array and some distortion, but how? I use Adobe Illustrator, and I've only tried the pen tool to draw each circle by hand so far, which shouldn't be the smartest thing to do. By the way, I need the exact same form.
I have made a work path using the pen tool. I wanted to crop the selected part out, but when create a vector mask, it leaves the inside part and crops out the outside part:

I've tried using automated online tools (fontspring, whatthefont, fontsquirrel) for font identification but none are returning results that look correct.

Imagine a situation where I have a solid and a text. I would like the content of the text to be taken subtracted from the solid behind it.

I use only a few specific tools in photoshop. I frequently alt for zooming and color picking, to the point where my finger is always on it and frequently holding it down.

Hi, I've been trying to figure out to align stuff in gimp.

I am a beginner in photoshop, I'm so confused between 'Content-Aware fill', 'Healing brush tool' and 'spot healing brush tool'. All of them do the same thing, then why are there 3 different tools for that?
I have around 400 .jpg images of book pages, and they are not numbered. They are already numbered in the filenames e.g. "8_9.jpg", "9_10.jpg" and so on. I would like to automate adding page numbers to every .jpg, so every page looks like this: Is it possible to do with any program?
If I add a gradient effect to type in photoshop is it possible to add a blending mode to it as well so that it interacts with the photograph in the background? I have tried to apply multiply blending mode to the layer. I am thinking that the only way for it to affect it is to rasterise the text?
I am trying to make something like this, where the large circle is composed of many smaller circles, and there is also a gradient of color and brightness from the center of the ring outward. There is some randomness in the smaller circles, and they don't overlap. Any ideas? I have not found anything helpful yet.
I have maybe a somewhat silly question: I used a tutorial to place multiple pieces of text into perspective (e.g., tutorial). Once in perspective, I would like to change the text; however, the text does not seem to behave as texts anymore. Rather it seems like 'a figure'. I have tried to select the text with the "Persp...
I'm trying to process an image iteratively. I have an order of operations, specifically a series of effects. This process loops until I'm satisfied with the result.

If I move layers with the cursor: When I release the cursor, for a second it still holds on to the layer. Usually I let the cursor go, to move the cursor to the menu or a different layer. Because it always still holds on to the previous layer, it moves the layer around for one second. This is extremly annoying because ...
What are some of the pros and cons of enlarging the vertical lines between words in a logo like this? One I can think of, it makes the logo boundaries larger. Is it best to stick with vertical lines of the same thickness as the type or a different size?
