What are the latest rules for getting a free photo form a stock site (Unsplash, Pexels, etc.), editing the photos and adding effects to them, then selling them at a market as a printed poster or as a digital download? I know most of them say "significant manipulation", but what exactly does that mean?
I have patterns and I want them be with the same gradient, but when I chose gradient it applies to all selected areas as a whole. And gradient is scattered to all selected areas. On the image u can see how gradien is applied independantly to patterns (the first row), it's done selecting each pattern independantly. The ...
how do i export an .svg file in Inkscape so that when i import the .png image into Finale Cut Pro, it doesn't look grainy? the image in the video doesn't need to be super-high definition; just something a little better than i'm currently getting.
I know how to increase saturation, but is there a way to clip it a particular value? E.g. if clipping to 80% any pixels with a color that has saturation <= 80% remain unchanged, whereas any pixels with saturation > 80% get their saturation adjusted to 80%. Yes, I know this will produce a terrible result for most things...
Consider the following image: I am using photopea online, but I think it is the same as photoshop. I attempt using the "Hue/Saturation" Adjustment layer, and when changing the hue property, get the following result: I am looking for a formula to create this type of effect, as I need to do it dynamically for many imag...
What's the rectangle surrounding a font glyph, including its sidebearings, called? I Googled the words "bounding box" and got conflicting results, where some sources say it's the rectangle that bound the glyph tightly (without sidebearings), and others say it includes sidebearings.
I am creating a "dot matrix" Kannada font. I try to import the SVG file for a character in font forge, but its not importing in the "dot matrix" style, its getting imported as a plain line.

I'm preparing album cover artwork -- I'm going to print some vinyl. The mfr recommends a disco jacket as the inner sleeve for 180g vinyl because it resists the vinyl tearing a hole over time.

I am having trouble understanding how to set up alternating paging (left and right) for InDesign. I know how to do it for facing pages. The problem is, with facing pages, that if I need to add a page later in the middle of a document, then my bleeds can get messed up having to manually fix a lot of pages (see attached ...
If I want to use - say - ITC Benguiat, I can purchase a licence for it at https://www.myfonts.com/collections/benguiat-font-itc. It'll cost me £450.99 for an annual webfont licence, that allows me to use it in my websites. Fair enough. But I can also go to literally dozens of sites such as https://www.free-fonts.com, w...

Example - a linear barcode containing rectangular lines with digits below. Is there a way to locate this barcode on the .ai file and read the vetcor image to decode its content ?
The question has already been asked, but the accepted answer is really not what I'm looking for. I want something that measures the alpha value of every pixel, and turns that into a given colour. So, for example, if I have a yellow pixel with 50 % transparency, and I "alpha-to-colour" it to red, then it becomes orange ...
I have an image with no color profile information, that GIMP treats as sRGB, but actually is linear. Is it possible to switch to linear mode, without touch pixel values.
In inkscape <1.2, I could so easily add (canvas) margins to my drawing by going to Document Properties > Page. There were margin values that could be set up in some numerical fields (see picture).

I'm trying to alter one of Van Halen's original logos with different text, and I'm having trouble duplicating the extruded text effect.

When I see the details of an image in windows, there are two data namely “Horizontal Resolution” and “Vertical Resolution” which are in DPI unit.

Some publisher styles (APA, Chicago, SVMono Springer, …) require that tables contain no vertical lines (“unless [the lines] indicate the structure of the data” for Chicago).

How to get rid or manage these artificial "corner fill"?
