I have a question similar to, but hopefully sufficiently different from, this question here: 'Where can I find a large palette / set of contrasting colors for coloring many datasets on a plot?' I have the following need: I want to display n different things in a single image with a gradient from black-to-color for each...
I use InDesign for layout of pieces which range from 2 to 72+ pages. On occasion I'll get a client request to send a PDF and Word file for the latest iteration of a piece so that someone somewhere can review the copy and edit it as necessary (Often legal reviews). The goal is an easily edited Word file which has identi...
Line segment 1 and 2 are the same angle (2 is a copy of 1). I am trying to connect 1 with 3 at the highlighted intersection, but when I try to drag segment 1 (not from the anchor point, the entire segment itself) it doesn't want to snap the two end anchor points together. How do you go about making this happen?
Are there any recommended techniques for "inpainting" sections within a photoshop image using AI techniques such as Stable Diffusion or DALL-E? I've found good examples of how to use Stable Diffusion as a photoshop plugin for generation, and I've seen examples of people in painting using other tools, but no instruction...

I have a problem with Inkscape. I want to clip JPG portrait to a shape of paint-splatter PNG (technically two of the same paint splatter PNG grouped into one but I tried with just one to same non-result). I'm putting my "mask" (cutting shape) on top of my JPG, selecto both and use either Clip > Set or Clip > Set Invers...
This question concerns the plain color name pink only (rather than its variations, such as Light Pink, or the subjective perceptions of various people, or ink names (such as Pink C), or the pink color range, all of which exist in it own right) for technical purposes. We've recently noticed that the plain English color ...
why GIMP makes so difficult to draw a simple line on an image! Anyway, could someone help me out and explain how can I draw a line in several layers of certain length and width and then align those lines. Thanks!
Every new shape I draw in the Pencil tool always comes up as transparent, where as other tools (rectangle, ellipse, polygon, etc.) always keep their default or previously chosen fill color. Although thankfully I just have to press D to fill in the default color, it quickly becomes a hassle to remember when I'm rapidly ...
Can someone help me identify the base font used in the Persona Q. I tried to usual machine identifers such as fonts.com and likefont.com, but no luck. I know it may me hard to identify since the logo has alot of intentional text warping, but help on this would be appreciated.
I have created a logo in Ps that uses the path blur effect. I would like to convert it into a vector in Ai as I would like to have a higher resolution print on a sublimated shirt. But once I image trace it, the blur effect is separated into individual paths which becomes really messy. What should I do to maintain the p...
I have a photo of my dog and I thought it would be fun for my kids to reproduce it in chalk on our drive way in large scale, then look at it from our up stairs window (and hopefully learn about colors etc on the way!). We have the standard sidewalk chalk colors of light blue, yellow, pink, white. I thought the best pro...
I've created a few drawings of characters with blank faces and several different facial expressions that I intended to simply put over the drawing of the blank-faced character (face pictures have correct transperency). However now I find myself with a lot of files and too lazy to manually do each one. Is it possible to...
I am currently doing some simple svg files by hand. They contain simple graphics. Think of a circle representing a planet and a smaller circle passing in front of it representing a moon. I use the animate command to successfully do that. I am looking for a graphics editor which will aid me. Inskscape does not support a...
I like to use black-backgrounded slides for my conference presentations. However, as research papers use white-backgrounded figures, they should be converted. A good option is inverting the colours. However, often the inverting does not give nice colors. Is it possible to do the same process but use nice, predefined co...
I want to make it easier to use Inkscape. So I want the defaults to be changed to what my users expect. They use Inkscape to edit PDF files, so import should be as visually accurate as possible and saving should be in PDF.

What is an effective way to erase thin lines, for example, notebook ones?
I already watch and learn many tutorials about graphic design programs (for example Inkscape, Blender 3d, MediBang Paint, etc). But after I go through them, I realized that the more I go through the tutorials, the more I fear that what I learn now will be obsolete once these programs release their newer version. I also...
I need to create a newsletter template that is easy to use (it will be used by someone with no InDesign experience) and needs to support hyperlinks within the document and to external sources. So far I've tried Adobe Express but this does not support the links I require, also considered Canva but am finding this diffic...
The reason I'm trying to print directly from Photoshop is to keep the image quality. Converting to JPG was my first idea, copy pasting the cards to a word doc or something to get a full page but that didn't work because converting a PSD to a JPG is a quality disaster. The trouble I'm having with Photoshop is that even ...
In the 2 images below, mesh topography or wireframe drapes a woman (and two hands) in a photograph, creating a mixed media portrait composed of digital effects and photography.

I'm currently working on translating an interactive PDF in InDesign and I am wondering if there is a way to edit already written List Items instead of having to delete and adding new ones each time I want to edit the List. Editing would be useful, but having the possibility of importing an already made list to the Comb...
I want to create a piece of wood. Think of a 2x4 with some pseudo-depth. Using Illustrator I create the simple appearance of depth using two objects — a light and dark object.

I want to display a scientific poster on a 55 inch television. Paper posters usually have A0 dimensions (84,1 x 118,9 cm). The powerpoint template from the congress has a wide format with 33,867 cm and 19,05 cm. But since I know the screen will be 55 inches, wouldn't 121.7 cm and 68.6 cm more appropriate? Or don't it e...
Somehow the highlight color in Pattern Editing Mode has been set to yellow for me.

I'm creating a block of wood viewed from the front. I'm creating some pseudo-depth by using a darker shape with the top and bottom at opposing angles. i.e. "fake" 3d essentially.

So, I imported a pdf chart for a knitting pattern into Inkscape. See image attached. Everything imported as paths.

Is ther...
I have been working with some stippling style brushes I downloaded off of the internet a while ago on Adobe Illustrator.

It has becom...
I have this platform of pixel art: I want to modify its size to make it bigger, and I want to conserve the pixel-art aesthetic, like this: But when I press Start to set the size, the piece turns fuzzy: The idea is when I set the size, it gets the size of the 2nd image, not the 3rd picture. Thanks!

Since it is very overwhelming and doubtfully necessary, is it a good idea to depend on printers (RGB to CMYK) auto-conversions to produce usual printing needs? (When Spot Coloring isn't an option for being expensive) What I know is that CMYK printers will almost certainly produce different results. Even the same printe...
This has been annoying me for a while, essentially, my basic brush options now only have one option: I believe it might be something to do with colour options, as that doesn't work either. I can still edit essentially everything about the brush and I can even change the brush to one of the weirder presets. Unless I'm ...

I've used the 'mask' effect a few times. But suddenly it no longer works. Even if I create a brand new scene, and just draw something on a layer, using 'b'.

One thing I don't understand (which would definitely help me to use this function better) is how exactly optical margin alignment really works and what exactly is measured in pt, or when to set what.

Then I saved and generated the font. My ...

I am trying to draw Bezier curves using Inkscape 1.2.1 (9c6d41e, 2022-07-14). For some reason, the path produced has straight angles, see the attached picture. I did not have this problem before, and re-installing Inkscape did not help... What can I do to solve this problem? Many thanks!

This might be a stupid question, but is it not possible to add an empty, transparent layer to a new file without having a different, imported layer in the scene already? Everything is greyed out and I don't understand why I can't just do something like: Add empty layer 1080px1080p.
There are the so-called "custom fonts/typefaces" that are custom designs of fonts that are not available on the market. These are usually comissioned by companies (specially large ones). What are the risks (if any) of designing a font that is close (or even too close) to a custom font design?

is there a way to "tell" Inkscape to apply x/y coordinates on elements (clones of a symbol) instead of transform() when positioning?
