Think of a black triangle. How would I gradually fade this triangle top down, where the top point stays sharp/in-focus while gradually (fading, blurring, feathering) towards the triangle base? Here's the best I could achieve with a faded clipping mask on an overlapping blurred second triangle. Doesn't look great. Ideal...
I am used to Photoshop, moving to Krita since it is free to give it a try. When I try to add a new "layer" in the "Layers" panel, the other layers disappear! It is as if a layer in Krita was a new document or as if I was in "Solo" mode showing only 1 layer at a time! however even if I export the image to JPG I only get...
I just came across the works of Forthcoming Studio ( https://forthcoming.studio/) and I was really wondering how it's possible to achieve such texture effect and what is the source for it ? Are those brushes, pictures with displacement map...? I have no idea but I'd be thrilled to learn :-)
I am trying to figure out a way to achieve the same soft bubbly effect on icons as seen in this design. Looking for resources to achieve the same using Figma, XD or Sketch.
How do i know the first node position of a path ? (in my case 4 nodes in total) I know how to Tab around and also find the direction of the path, but how exactly do i determine which is the first node ? And if i may ask a secoundry question , which i think maybe impossible but here we go , how do i align the starting ...
I'm doing some calendars and I need the numbers to be aligned to the center of the square but I can't align properly because of the blank space that is above the number. I've trying to use the Area Type Options to reduce the bounding box size in these numbers, but I can only resize the bottom part of the box, not the u...
Can someone help me with this image. I just need to remove background and have the outline of myself, so that I can transfer it onto another image. I have tried many times in gimp using the magic wand and its just not working at all and I am starting to get frustrated. I just need to basically remove the background and...
Due to working for a non-English publication, the version of InDesign that I am using at work is in another language, however I myself use the English version of InDesign for my other projects and it's just quite a hassle to have to communicate with the different teams. Is there anyway to run 2 different versions of In...
Is there a Typography Stack Exchange? Happy to post this there instead. Can you pls explain 2:48? What does "trend towards this kind of squarish shape" mean??? The speaker is Tobias Frere-Jones. His remarks should be interpreted in contrast with the Highway Gothic typeface.
How can I proceed to create the Stack Overflow logo in Inkscape? I have tried the following, but how can I rotate the orange rectangles?
In the case where you have two sibling elements, how do you snap the edges of one with the edges of the other? Is there some kind of "magnet" mode which you can enable to achieve this behavior, similar to how it works in other illustration software like Affinity Designer, Illustrator and Photoshop? To be completely cle...
I'm building a database for the anime cel color(acrylic paint). I scanned them with an Epson Perfection v600 scanner calibrated with Silverfast's advance target, saving in TIFF with ProPhoto RGB profile embedded, since many of the color are out of gamut for sRGB and AdobeRGB. There's a database I found online that some...
This is the original image: I believe I see a glow at the top, so I applied a curve to see if my suspicion was right. After applying the curve: I tried playing around with brightness and the s-curve but it doesn't achieve what I want: How can I generate a sky with consistent texture and brightness in photoshop?
Yesterday, just out of curiosity, I googled for Liberation Script and to my surprise this font seems do exists: https://www.cdnfonts.com/liberation-script.font https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts Is it really created by Steve Matteson or somehow authorized by him? I cannot find any mentions about it on the...
There are many almost symmetric images, such as: image 1 or image 2 What software do you suggest to use and how to make such images seem endless by copying part of the same image at its center?
I make a mistake on my scanning and save the image with the wrong rendering intent inside the embedded color profile. I want the rendering intent to clip all the out-of-gamut color to nearest hue without touching any in-gamut color, so I should be using relative colorimetric instead of perceptual, which desaturate the ...
.jfif seems to be the image format of choice of some social media platforms. If you download a .jfif image, and convert it to .jpeg, is any quality lost from the file format conversion?
This is my first attempt to design a font. I'm using Affinity Designer (latest version) on an ipad, and Adobe Illustrator 2020, and FontForge (latest version) on a Macbook Pro. I exported the glyphs: a, b, c, d, e, f, and g as separate svg files from Illustrator to FontForge. On the individual glyph editing screen, the...
I just gave Krita a go after a few major versions of not using it, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do a SIMPLE, NORMAL, kindergarten level 2D rotation of a layer. When I use the Rotate option of the transform tool, move the pivot to the desired position, and try dragging something to specify the rotat...
So actually I was making an animation using After Effects. The animation is exactly 3 seconds long. I've rendered it as PNG sequence, which gave me 90 images. In Photoshop I'm choosing the framerate of 30fps and when I try to make a GIF with that it's always 00:02:21 long instead of exactly 00:03:00. I realised that it...
I'm having a hard time finding a font similar to "Monoton" that also supports Thai script. Anyone knows whether there is a font readily available similar to that?
I probably know already the answer but maybe I am wrong. I want to copy and paste or cut and paste part of drawing while preserving groups. I have 2 vector drawings in one file which objects share groups. I can select one of drawing, let's say right drawing with group selection tool and Illustrator only selects objects...
Hey folks - can I get some critique, suggestions? I'm looking to rework my logo for the Fixed Camera Appreciation Society group on Steam, aiming to improve clarity/readability, cohesion and overall attractiveness, while roughly retaining the original idea / design (a person looking up at a camera viewfinder and expr...
I am new to Inkscape, thank you for your patience. When I try to create a gradient in the fill, the mesh tool does not show the mesh points needed to change color. However, the tool allows me to change color at each mesh point when I create a gradient in the stroke. How can I get Inkscape to show the mesh points when I...
All commonly-used bicameral Latin-script typefaces use ascenders (portions of a glyph that rise above the typical upper-limit height for glyphs of the character type under consideration) and descenders (portions of a glyph that dive below the baseline that forms the normal lower limit for glyphs of the character type u...
I have the following image: I need to tilt the image such that the front of the product is visible as seen below: I tried perspective warp in photoshop but was not able to accomplish this. I have 1000s of such images for which I want to do this. What is the fastest possible way to do this?
When I import DWG files which contain simple objects, mostly rectangles, circles, lines or polygones and save the result in SVG sometimes i get shapes with matrix transformation. I know what is matrix transformation and I know there is no way for most shapes to do rotations or transformations without it. I don't deny t...
For a project I'm working on I want to take 40-50 music band logos, and arrange them into a collage in a specific area of an image. Example from online below: Below you can see an example of what I'm trying to do: And I want to do this for 20-25 other genres. Sometimes the band logos are not too weird and it's easy t...

I have one base layer and ten optional, alternating layers (on/off features). So there are 2**10 combinations with 10 optinal layers so I should get 1024 variations generated with my layers. As a comparison, in Adobe-photoshop, I would use Action script like here but not sure whether it exists for Gimp or use Export la...
I'm new to Illustrator and, being used to Photoshop, I can't say it's really intuitive. I'm trying to make a logo where part of it is cut out so that the background shows through (see picture below). What's the easiest, most straightforward way to achieve that? Thank you.
How to match scale of the exact same object that appears in 2 images with different dimensions? Let me explain my use case: There once was a hi-res photo of a Cat (original) Someone cropped it (image A) Another person cropped another part of it & downscaled the photo (image B) I don't have the original photo anymore...
I was wondering if it's possible to achieve something similar to this example. This is done in GIMP with a feature called "Stroke Path", the green circles indicating the Image that was used as the Stroke. I've been doing a lot of googling and have seen a few people say that the "Pattern Along Path" is the way to achie...
When using the magic wand to select an area to fill (first image), when I fill the first time, there is no color overlap on the edges (second image). But if I fill the same area again with a different color after having filled it once there is a color overlap (third image). It's very subtle but you can see that the bl...
If I've got the following image in photoshop: which derives from a color of a certain hex code, #7f2ae8, (the 3rd square down is the most "pure color"). Let's say the first square (the lightest purple) is the pure color but with 10% opacity, the 2nd square the pure color but with 40% opacity, and the 3rd square is 100...
Consider the following image: How can I select the green ellipses without selecting the red rectangles? I'm aware of 2 existing methods of selecting things: Shift + click objects (not suitable for many objects - e.g. after using the spray objects function) Click + drag a box over the objects from the side (not suitab...

So for example, this color: can be made by placing this transparent color of purple over a white background. If I am given the f...
I designed a page that includes text, photos and design elements. The text and design elements created directed in InDesign print perfectly. The photos print badly. All colors are wrong. The photos alone print correctly from Photoshop or Lightroom (it is not calibrating or printer problem). Copy below is the Print Summ...
The image below is characteristic of MS-DOS and NES games. What is this kind of pixel art called, and how to paint on a similar canvas where pixels take on a diamond sort of asterisk look (*). 8-bit comes to mind, but it's just a number and meaningless since many of these games were higher bit by the early 1990s
Is there a way to make numbers separated with decimal symbol automatically and non-destructive in Indesign? For example there is large numbers in my article which I'm designing now: I have "six trillion" in number: 6000000000000 I want it to be something like this: 6,000,000,000,000 But automatically with decimal symbo...
Using Illustrator. I have an image which I have pasted in and resized as I wish. I now want to replace that image with another from the clipboard. The image is effectively embedded.

I'm using gimp to create some character icons. I need to fill a round border with the image of the character. I can get the character image behind the border, but then the edges of the square character picture stick outside of the border.

I cannot remember where I came accross the following concept, nor the name of that concept. Maybe you could help me. The concept is about a trick of consciously adding a useless/bad feature to a design to make it what managers will remark on (and ask to remove) instead of other features the designer is more attached to...
I'm VERY new to InkScape and am under pressure to learn it fast for a project in the making. I will be using the printed output as a cutting template for an ABS project box, so dimensions are critical. How is an object's size measured?

This video shows a way to make what I want: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TctsEGXENhw It starts from a big outline of capital letter T and a bunch of parallel lines: The T is used only as a reference where to insert new nodes to the parallel lines. Every new node is inserted manually with the "Add Anchor Point"-tool...
Searching the pixel immediately by entering coordinates(x,y) to the search bar. Where is the search bar? I mean there are too many pixels in an image. If we search the specific pixel one by one by ourselves, it is inefficient. Maybe there is a search bar that will point to the desired pixel after we enter the coordinat...

i want to scale the path uniformly so that nodes 3 and 4 are at 1 and 2. The selected path is a circle and it must remain so. Is there a way to scale along a "custom" axis?
An image that an artist claimed was drawn on a Wacom tablet using both Illustrator and Photoshop. My question is, if this image is static, with no animation whatsoever, simply having the ink drawing and coloring, why would the artist need both Illustrator and Photoshop to do it? What is there in Illustrator that Photos...
The company that I work for recently had a test print with a professional printer and we noticed that our radicands, when printed, are excessively bolded.

I am very new to GIMP and am having trouble with a project. I am trying to add text to an image to create cover art for an album. I have added the image, which is 1000x1000 pixels, and then added some text layers over it. For some reason, when the text is at a proper size, it is really low resolution and pixelated. It ...
There might be no clear answer, but why the glyph set of some fonts is so incomplete or inconsistent? For example, Minion Pro, which is the default font for InDesign, so it seems to pretend to be a really good font for most of us. It doesn't have the manicule character (U+261B or U+261E). The manicule is not something ...
I have been searching hard for past few weeks and not been able to find even single video on youtube, etc. which can show how to create a video like this.

Many questions have been asked about the general practice of converting rasterized images into a vector format, but this is not quite the same question I am asking.

I have a 20 page brochure which needs a layout. It appears that the overall cost for a graphics designer to do the job is about $1000. However, I want to see a designer's ideas before I pay $1000. So I told one designer that I'd like to pay her for one page. I'll find out soon what her response is. In general, my appro...

I'm very fascinated by the illustrations by Tove Jansson in her book Who Will Comfort Toffle? You can see some examples of the printed images in this search.

I want to know the process of making a print ready pdf in adobe photoshop. Like in illustrator we need to outline the fonts, CMYK color etc. what I have to do to create a print ready pdf in photoshop. Thank you.
I didn't find any useful resources to study this particular case so I decided to ask here. I understand the perspective fundamentals, vanishing points, 1,2,3 points perspective etc. Wherever I studied perspective I found that everyone uses the same basic cube design to show the perspective lines or any other structural...

I'm working on a portfolio! I'm fairly new to designing documents. Should the text boxes containing the title and the body be together or separate? I originally made them separate for the purpose of keeping all of the elements on the page 1cm apart. Is this standard practice, or have I made a blunder?

This might be a very silly question, but since I'm going to start using InDesign as my "word processor" (that is, for writing), I still have to ask it. When you create a document based on a specific template in Word or LibreOffice Writer, the template is automatically assigned to that document, and if you change the te...
I'm creating an animated character which has plenty of hidden artwork (mouth shapes, eyebrow shapes etc). The problem is that whenever I want to move some body part that has hidden child layers, these layers don't move! E.g. let's say I move the head a couple of pixels to the left. My "natural" mouth artwork moved, but...
Does anyone know about a way within Illustrator (or a script from outside it) that could allow a user to manually, with a cursor resize multiple objects at the same time, while maintaining their distance from each other?
