I'm working with a block of text in GIMP that consists of three short paragraphs, which are full-justified in their text box. The first paragraph seems to be perfectly fine; spacing between words automatically adjusts so the lines of text are distributed evenly across the width of the box. But in the second paragraph, ...
Imagine saving a .png image of a solid-colored circle that is on top of a transparent background. However, the circle is filled with that solid color in such a way that towards its outer contours (circumference), there is a feathering effect that blends into the transparent background, therefore, a dispersion of the so...

My goal is to create an action that sets up a folder structure for a comic panel as the image below suggests. My attempt ended up with this result. The main issue is that the color-coded folders aren't nested inside of the panel_00folder. I've attempted to switch around the order of which folder gets created first, b...
I need to create a document with numbered headings and numbered tables. The tables in the 1st chapter should be numbered as 1-1, 1-2, etc. The tables in the 2nd chapter should be numbered as 2-1, 2-2, etc. And so on. To create numbered headings, I have created a "Heading 1" paragraph style and adjusted its numbering as...
I've searched and can't seem to find anyone on the internet who has actually solved this problem.

If I converted a text into a path, then is it possible that I can convert it back again to text in Adobe Xd? If not then how to deal with this if I want a text back? is there any possible ways to tackle it? Please help. Thanks.
I've created some charts in Excel and would like to touch them up in Illustrator as vector files. But whenever I copy/paste, or export/import as PDF, or export as PDF then convert to SVG then import, the chart is a raster file. I see people saying that this process just involves a simple copy + paste. Am I missing some...
Problem seems to me so incredibly simple it boggles my mind it isnt a feature everywhere: When drawing a line/square/circle/any other shape the lines are automatically anti-aliased between primary and secondary color and some tweak-able settings. The question stems from the situation: I am not a pixel artist. I do not ...
I did a bitmap of a cloud texture in photoshop so i could bring it over to illustrator to overlay it on a poster. the texture on the poster seemed fine in illustrator but once i exported it as a jpeg/pdf it had a weird grid-like pattern when zoomed out. heres the picture of the weird grid-like pattern that i screenshot...

I am trying to create an art brush. I choose 'tints and shades' while creating it but later it remains black, it doesn't pick the color I want it to be. why is this happening? please help. :'(
I do not believe that placeholder text (populated in a form's text field before PDF export) is currently an option. Anyone know any workarounds (bar manual inputting via Acrobat). Surprisingly, it doesn't appear to be an option in Acrobat's Rich Media tools either. Just in case I'm not clear - here is an example of wha...
If you watch this video at 7:50: https://youtu.be/VjCGJb5ltZM?t=470 You can see that the artist uses a flat brush, which she tilts to create a shape that is narrow at the beginning, then it widens, and then it tapers again. That's very effective in making those wave shapes. How would you reproduce that, or something t...
I've only created one other image before, and that one seemed to go pretty smoothly. Since I started this second project, however, I've found that I can't scale the default line thickness if I'm trying to use the "none" option in the shape dropdown list. The line defaults to .265, and if I reset the line manually it on...
I am creating a daily journal. I encountered problem when exporting interative pdf. The blue and orange dots are pngs.

How can I solve this problem? :'...

My goal is to hide the "child shape" part which is outside the "parent shape". See below the image, the green shape outside the black shape should not be seen. The problem is that after I clicked the "create clipping mask" instead of hiding the child shape that is outside the parent shape, the parent shape vanished. Th...
I have an image that I would like to cut out with a laser, however the SVG that I am using has many paths that are not connected, which will result in an incorrect cut. In order to cut correctly I need to join many of the paths together so that they are connected and will be cut as a solid piece instead of many tiny pi...
I would like to add some graphics to a Latex presentation using a wacom graphics tablet. I would like to use vector graphics, so the pdf output will stay small and look good in every resolution (if I print it or if the screen size varies). Of course, there should be the option for pngs/jpgs. I probably don't need it no...
I want to draw a circle with a radial gradient that starts at the exact center of the circle. Every google search simply says to "use gradient tool and drag where you want the gradient to start". Dragging is inaccurate, I want the gradient to start in the exact center of the circle not just an eyeballed estimate. What'...
I'm making an instruction manual on InDesign. I have pictures which have been exported from CAD software and then refined in Illustrator. They are line drawings and I want to have a consistent stroke width in every drawing on the document. The problem is that the stroke width changes when I resize the drawings in InDes...
I often work with a large number of small images, so I would prefer them to be embed rather than linked. Is it possible to tell InDesign to insert images as embed ones by default?
On Windows, the default screen DPI (aka PPI) is 96. On macOS, as far as I know, it is still 72 (note that we talk about images, not text!). Because of this, when I open InDesign on Windows and place there a 72-dpi image, it looks larger (compared to how it looks in web browser, hence web browser doesn't care about DPI)...
I opened a PNG image as a layer in Gimp, expecting the background to be transparent. Instead, the whole squared background is visible and covering the image under it. What exactly am I doing wrong and how can I solve it?

I thought this would be asked somewhere before, but I can't find it. So if you have any good links for me to read please let me know.

InDesign is amazing, but how can I set table column widths without dragging their borders with the mouse? I mean (= I hope to find) a window where I can specify the width of each column, either in picas/points or percentage. Does it exist somewhere?

I am using Adobe Illustrator to generate SVG files. However, I find that when I try to export a textual element with multiple lines, that element is exported as svg paths, not svg text elements. If the textual element DOES contain a single line, the export works as expected. This Adobe Illustrator text element has mul...
When I read the feedback and conclusions from my earlier post here: is there a way to clone and mirror at the same time in Krita? it seems to me that an object reflected on a relatively calm water surface should appear approximately vertically mirrored, with all the caveats examined in the post.

Please see the example video, where the handle on the first anchor point (on the rig...
My project is to implement a four color design in vinyl using a cutter/plotter, so each color needs to be cut separately.

I work on A4 sized artboards most of the time. However, when I open a file (saved as PDF), AI always opens it zoomed out (about 60%) which is too small for me to see the details.

I use the Export for Screens feature to make the various needed resolutions for iOS devices. Since this project targets iOS, iPadOS and macOS, it's a lot of sizes, like 9 or 10.

One of reasons I prefer CorelDraw (or any other) over illustrator is that CorelDraw tools are dynamic i.e. when I click on one tools, its more options and features appear in the above tools bar.

I don't do photoshop often but right now i'm trying to get the info of an inscryption card, without the background. if this makes sense it's similar to a visual version of audio clipping(when you isolate vocals of a song by taking the song and the instrumental and cancelling the instrumentals out).

I visited the John Crerar Library at UChicago, and the font used in its interior looks fantastic to me.

Here are some additional samp...

I tried to draw a circle inside a rectangle using the Draw Inside mode, and when I did it the stroke around the rectangle simply disappeared. Strangely, the fill stayed the same, of course apart from the new circle. It seems there's no way to get the initial stroke back. It was set to "inside", so should be visible, I ...

I wonder if you can help.... I have an InDesign document. A fairly regular document, some text with lots of images. This is how I want it to appear.

I just "discovered" that search (note: I talk about search, not replace!) doesn't work for text on locked layers. Some people suggest to enable "Include Locked Layers and Locked Objects" and "Include Locked Stories" options to workaround this issue, but this solution doesn't work for; neither for Anne-Marie, co-founder...
I just acquired a Wacom Intuos CTL4100, and I'm trying to use pressure sensitivity with Illustrator's calligraphic brush tool.

Gimp is not only free but is also lightweight and resources compared to Photoshop it feels like. Photoshop's long splash screen makes it feel resource heavy with alot of overhead.

I am about to embark on recreating a supermarket aisle. There is perspective involved and I am wondering whether using the perspective grid is the best tool I have never used it before. I am also wondering whether to use the 3D and Materials e.g extrude and bevel to create a 3 dimensional effect for the products on the...
For some reason the perspective grid is not appearing when I click on the tool. I have even created a new document and selected the tool again and it still does not appear.
I am editing a font in Font Forge but it seems there is no variable or property for word spacing. Applications all render this font with far too wide word spacing which led me to assume this was a variable in the font file itself, but I can't see it. So, where is word spacing determined and how do I edit it?
When exporting an animated gif in Gimp (each layer is a frame of the animation), you can set the speed between each frame (layer) as a fixed number, by default 100 milliseconds.

When using the pen-tool in Adobe Illustrator, I often wish that to keep the same angle on the handle but adjust the the length, or vice versa and keep the same length while adjusting the angle.

Whenever I copy text from within Photoshop, I can only paste it onto a second text layer or into a layer's name. The text, however, cannot be pasted anywhere else, such as in a text document or another Adobe program.

How do I know which optical size to use accordingly to pt/px size? For example, Newsreader goes as low as "1" in the "optical size" axis in it's variable alternative.

I created the image shown below by shooting ten-second long exposures of drifting clouds (contrail) and stacking them.

Designing a font is a cumbersome task as each glyph should be drawn. However, finding the right kerning is something that puzzles me.

In Fusion 360, I tried some add-ons, like the "Equation driven curve", but the distance between each revolution is a constant.

You draw the black ink outline of an object as an enclosed ellipsoid shape, and therefore want the next layer, which you'll use to color-in the ellipsoid, to be bounded to that previous ink layer, to avoid excess coloring outside of that bounded ink outline.
