I am creating a logo and have drawn a motif with the pen tool and - as far as I'm aware - the path is closed as I'm able to fill it with colour. However, on closer inspection, the fill colour is not sticking to the path as the boundary, in fact it's either filling outside the path or within it. The motif was initially ...
Good morning all, I'm an Australian firefighter at one of the oldest fire stations in the country. We have some tiles with a unique, hand-painted image that is only found in our station. I would like to take this pattern and print it on a shirt for fundraising purposes. I've attached the photo of the image. How would I...
What software can I use to draw similar circle schemes? The radius increase should be fixed for each subsequent circle. All 'X' should be aligned diametrically and be rotated to fit orientation.
I'm learning graphic design and, for practice, I'm making an app. I noticed my color choice of these buttons look off, although I'm unsure why. Also the proportions, but I'll take care of that later. Could you provide a critique of why these colors don't seem to go well?
I am using the new version of inkscape (1.2) on a MacBook Pro, and when I try to make lines or shapes I am unable to see the fill or stroke that I adjust. I can adjust the stroke thickness to whatever value I want, along with the stroke colour or fill colour, but I do not see any of the colour appearing. When changing ...
(Disclaimer: I don't understand well color models.) For a document, to be typeset thanks to LaTeX, I have: a “dark” color (DC for short): CMYK(1,.60,.10,0), a “light” color (LC for short): CMYK(1,.35,0,0), many other colors derived from these two ones (e.g. one of them is a mixture of DC at 65% and white at 35%). Now...
In GIMP I dont these see borders. The same when I export jpg or png. Only PDF give me these ugly borders. I have selected area with the select tool, then I clicked right mouse button->edit->fill with fg color. There are probably borders of these filled layers. But it's visible only after export in PDF.
When in need to draw an illustration in 2d or even 3d, one can use a mark-up language like svg or pgf. Both produce vector based illustrations, they are good and can produce very nice results. One shortcoming of such vector based languages is the absence of ray tracing. And when in need to draw an object of a more comp...
When setting the stroke-width of a line, the stroke width appears to change in Inkscape (okay.. good). However I believe the amount that it changes is not actually equal to the value set. For example, when changing the stroke-width, I can see the outline of the stroke changing (blue lines) and they are grossly outside ...
I want to create a shape like this in MS Office. But in order to find out how to do that, I need to know the name of the shape. Does anyone know what it's called?
Is it possible to create subscripts in superscripts, e.g., “10a1”? (The expression with LaTeX would be 10^{a_{1}})
My understanding is that the Hue blend mode is supposed to use the hue from the top layer, and the saturation and brightness from the bottom layer. I placed a red in the bottom layer. RGB = (255, 0, 0), HSB = (0°, 100%, 100%) I placed a blue in the top layer. RGB = (0, 255, 255), HSB = (180°, 100%, 100%) The resulti...
Is there any way to find a similar color code when reducing the opacity of any color? For example:
I hope that all is well. I am trying to make a gradient that looks like the following in illustrator. Notice that the gradient on the O is non linear, and thus, I am having a hard time doing this. Please advise. Thank you in advance!
I'm trying to make a triangle where all the sides are curved outward, like a Reuleaux triangle, but the sides must be of a specific length. The length must be measured along the curve, not from end to end in a straight line, and the shape must be a specific vertical height. Is there a way to do this, including using an...
When I use Rectangular Marquee Tool on a zoomed image and move the pointer out of the child window frame, the window starts scrolling. Vertical scrolling speed is just fine, but horizontal scrolling is a waaaay slower. Did someone else notice that or it's just my system (CS6 on Win7)? Is there a setting, maybe some ani...
I attempted to paste a vector and/or image file on Photoshop as a smart object, when editing the image, it does not update on Illustrator. Is there a way around this?
I have an imported picture, which I want to punch rectangular holes in. Trying many options from Youtube or the Adobe website don't seem to work. When I try to use a Compound Path, for example, it states that the picture is not a path or it was brushed on. Help or advice is appreciated. (I am using Adobe Illustrator) I...
I am interested what is the total area of a book page that is occupied by text. Basically, how much ink do I need to spend to print a page with text. I have experimented with different fonts like Bodoni, Helvetica and PT Serif: And also PT Sans and PT Sans Extra Condensed: Bodoni is a "modern" font, so it looks less ...
I've found some licensed image that I want to reproduce in Inkscape (without backgrounds) but I'm a novice and I would want to get them to make some scientific illustrations. Can you show the faster way to get them in inkscape?
I have about 3000 frames with icons currently on my Figma page. It looks like this: I want to have them ordered in a grid. So instead of this: X X X X I want it to become this: X X X X Auto-layout unfortunately only works in one direction. How do I achieve this?
I'm trying to create a pixelart picture and I'm having problems with background. I need to do this effect: Is a gradient but I think is not created with Aseprite Gradient Tool. And in PS I don't know how to do it.
I am creating some icons in Ai and want to resize the designed shapes. But the problem is I have stroke shapes, and when I am resizing, it changes its stroke size. The way I knows is Expand the shapes, by going Object > Path > Outline Stroke In the preference enable the Scale strokes and effect setting But both ca...
I made a polygon shape in illustrator through stroke options and made it into a dotted line shape. I've applied some transform controls and want to expand the whole shape into individual dots. But whenever i expand the shape, it changes the stroke into fill which prevents me to further expanding the shape. Any one expe...
Right here is an interesting one. For a project I need each pixel of existing pixel art on an individual layer. There are potentially hundreds of images so i cant just copy, paste to new layer for every pixel in every image Is there a way it can be scripted to go though an image and save every pixel as a new layer???
I am kind of confused about something. why there are two opacities in photoshop? are they same? or different? thank you.
Why doesn't the properties panel in my design software show all the options for shapes? I was following a video tutorial on creating rounded corners, but I noticed that the panel offers more options for rectangles compared to polygons. I specifically want to create pointy stars, but I'm unable to find the supposed sett...
I need to insert a facing pages PDF document into a single pages PDF document, is it possible to do this and keep the structure of both? This means that the result should be one document in which you first see single pages, then you transition to facing pages and then you go back to see single pages. Not shure if it's...
I am a beginner logo designer, I started creating some fake logos. I have to spend lots of hours finding the correct position for my logos.

I know the steps for how to draw a surface in perspective using two vanishing points. I mean, I know how to draw a box, a pyramid, and a cone. Now I got into a situation where I need to draw the following: Can anyone give me an explanation? Or a reference to a book? I know Ernest Norling's "Perspective Made Easy", but...
I've been trying to use GIMP's foreground select tool to make cut-outs, but I've had something along the following lines thrice in the last two days, losing hours of work: I start the foreground select tool. I make a rough outline, preview the mask, and start refining the foreground / background specification in plac...

In other words, I want to use different letters when it's under 20pt, which are optimized for smaller rendering. Is this possible with a TTF font?
I have a large amount of 1024x1024 images that are mostly transparent pixels. I need to crop these images to the smallest possible centered square that includes all pixels. In other words: I need to trim the canvas equally, on all sides, until I run into a non-transparent pixel. Example 1: The 1024x1024 image is comple...
Basically I want to mix halftoned spot colors in the way you do CMYK, but with any combination of spot colors of my choice. Photoshop has an almost-good-enough way of doing this with image>mode>indexed color, where you can specify a limited set of colors and each pixel can only take on one of those colors. You can sepa...
I want to cut the overlapping hands and legs from the circle but want to keep the head part. Any idea on how to do this? This is my second day on Illustrator, sorry if the questions sounds kinda dumb.
How can I sign a document only using GIMP such that it looks like it was printed to actual paper, signed with a blue ballpoint pen, and then scanned again. I was sent an important document and, for legal reasons, I was asked to sign it. I don't own a printer, and this document has sensitive data on it that could be use...
I have this image text which I was able to obtain from a low resolution jpg and then cleaned it out to this point, but now as can be seen in the pic it does not look smooth. I can't find the words I should use to google this and find out how to make the writing look more smoother. Whenever I search for smoothen, Google...
I am working on marquetry, where I use a laser cutter. I'd like to use Inkscape in a mode similar to ArcMap's cut polygon. In ArcMap, I can create property lines (think new subdivision) with an existing shape (property boundary) that gets cut using the Cut Polygon tool. Very simple, you select the larger shape, then...
I am trying to prepare semantic segmentation masks out of photoshop images. I'd like to have pixel-perfect solid colour masks (in machine learning segmentation sense) for different parts of the image. Here's the example I'm working on: I select the area to be labelled and fill it with a solid colour. The problem is on...
We have redesigned our product labels for our supplement brand and want to know from professional graphic designers and print savvy individuals if most product labels you see in retail stores use pantone or CMYK? The pantone will give us the consistency, but the CMYK may give us a bit more flexibility in color choice a...
After googling and learning (and much frustration) that Adobe canceled the Flash Prfessional Animation tools especially the CS5.5 version in which I still work, my issue is the following: (Leaving aside the rendering qulaity and solutions), I use the CS 5.5 for my animations since I have my animation heroes (4 months o...
Hey I am trying to scale and duplicate a circle placed at equal spaces Please help as I am an Illustrator beginner. Thanks
I have an image that has a stain right across it. I think that I could remove it by (a) using the stain in the border to calculate a colour difference between the stained and unstained area (b) freehand select the stained area of the picture (c) subtract the colour difference from it. But I don't know exactly how to d...
I have 2 separate layers for the original eye background i called eyes-outline and another layer for my new eyes i called white-eyes. It's obvious that they are separate layers as in the left image I have white-eyes invisible and on the right image I have eyes-outline invisible. But when I have white-eyes selected and...
I have a low resolution image of a person and I was able to manage to increase the resolution of the image by manually improving all the features. But I'm now stuck on how to get that exact look on the face. How do I get exactly those Chinese eyes? As you can see the original image has a distinct look and I'm certain i...
I have a rectangle shape with no fill and no outline and one line of a text. I want to clip this text by the shape. If the shape has no fill, the text will disappear. If the shape has white fill, I will lost a content under this shaped text. How to get around this? UPDATE: I need transparent shape, not white. White ba...
I am editing a photograph which I've masked out the woman from the background but she has a pinkish hue on the edge of her hair. I am not sure what the best way to go about selecting the hair as I only want the pinkish parts. I am assuming I would need to create some kind of mask of just that section of hair but on ano...
I'm simulating a page being turned in a book. I'm using After Effects. An illustrator file is imported into After Effects and that file contains a few layers. One layer represents a page and another layer represents the rest of the book. The problem I have faced is that when the page/layer is turned the "back" of the p...
I drew this using Bezier tool in Inkskape. Saved as svg format. When oppened in browser I got the corner deformed (see the second picture)
I realized this when using the Photshop generated A4 sized image as a Word template. Word tells me the image is larger than A4 and I verified this using an online tool as well. I selected the Photoshop preset A4 layout sized 8.268"x11.693" at 300 resolution. However, the saved image is 25.83"x36.54" (or 2480px x 2508px...
I have created a document with facing pages. It’s for a foldable flyer with four flyer-pages in total, each in A5 format. The printer shop does the folding for me, but expects the input document to consist of two document-pages with a bleeding of 2mm; on the first document-page shall be the outer flyer-pages (so back a...
In Inkscape, when I have the following: If I remove the red node, the neighboring nodes magically get handles, I guess because Inkscape tries to keep the appearance with fewer nodes, resulting in this: What I want instead is for the two nodes to stay as corner nodes with no handles, just like this: I can obviously a...
How why do I not find the color of this text in the right side?
I'm doing something kinda silly where I actually do need all ~16mil RGB colors. I do know how to do them separately, one by one, but I can imagine that taking quite a long time to do it manually. This is what I have done manually so far: I'm hoping I don't have to continue doing this. If there is a source where I can ...
I am new to graphic design, and can't figure this out. I am making a "Meet the team" page for a small business's website. On the page will be staff portraits. I can edit out the original background of each employee portrait, and can edit in a clean, solid-color circle easily enough. But I'd like to use the same circ...
Is there a way to rasterize the Inkscape editor view for low res to emulate bitmap graphics? E.g. an 8px text on a 32x32px page is shown perfectly vector-y ;-) If a "pixelate" filter effect could be used, it would need to align to the pixel grid.
I have some irregular polygons defined by points whose coordinates depend on a variable r, for example: x = if(1 / sqrt(10) <= r < 1 / sqrt(5)) { -2 r² + r sqrt(1 - r²) - sqrt(2 r⁴ - r² + 2 r sqrt(1 - r²) (2 - 2 r²) - 1) + 2 } else if(r < 1 / sqrt(10)) { (2 (5 - r²) + r sqrt(5 - r²)) / 5 } y ...
I am wondering if there is a function in InDesign if you have multiple pages in one document to place into the file it can have them loaded? Just like when you multi-select different files to place and it has them loaded to place on the cursor. At the moment I am just clicking to the page in the import options and plac...
Not sure if this is the right place to post this type of question. Please let me know if not and if you have suggestions for where this might be a better fit.

I'm using Photoshop on an image of a horse, trying to paste the image into another background. The selection has leftover green from grass in the original background, especially around the horse's tail. I'm trying to use Select->Color Range, but it either errors, "No Pixels Selected" or I'm unable to do anything with...
The reason is that I want to move them anchored together, from within the opacity mask.
I know this title is impossible to understand, sorry about that... Here's the actual shape I'm working on: So, I wish that the rightmost points of the 4 horizontal rectangles (circled in dark green) to be aligned to the rightmost point of the vertical rectangle (circled in magenta), while the 4 horizontal rectangles c...
This question is related to adobe illustrator. As you know, the software allows the user to add a grid that helps to draw in perspective (the Perspective Grid Tool). I drew a rectangle with its anchors exactly on the corners of the grid. Now I decided that I want to change the location of the vanishing point or change ...
Is there a way to reset, or position the cyan anchor(not sure what its called) in the exactly in the middle of an object when using the reflect tool? I know if I click on what I assume to be the centre it will reflect from there but was wondering if theres a more accurate way to do it? Its not defaulting to the centre ...
I am very new in Photoshop. I drew one 400 px x 400 px square. Now I want to cut that from corner to corner so that I get two triangles. How can I do it? It must fit within that 400 px by 400 px. No gap can be there. What I did was I took 400 px x400 px square. Then took pen tool to draw one triangle inside it. copy th...
I am using a font I like in a program that doesn't have access to all opentype features so I get no choice as to how numerals are displayed.

I use a Wacom tablet for sketching (diagraming), and I am looking for a software that can aid in that with recognizing and converting hand drawn shapes in real time. Example in Office (ink to shape feature):
I've only ever seen this done on one project, I can't remember the name or where I saw it but I did take a screenshot because I loved the idea. I want to put a halftone/bitmap effect on an image, but not like usual where there is only 1 pattern at different sizes. Instead the there are several patterns that stay the sa...
Here is the shape itself, just so you have a general reference I created it with a path tool, but it ended up being two shapes, regardless, they seem to have identical points, the join function doesn't work on either corner My actual issue is this - when attempting to fill in the shape, regardless of whether I group...
Burgundy, Forest Green, Navy/Royal Blue, to me, all have a darker, richer shade than their primary color counterparts. We identify lighter, duller shades as pastel, do we have a word for darker and richer?
Adding a "Border" via "Right click -> Select -> Border and specify the width of the border" doesn't allow adding a Negative value, which would overlay the image. It only allows you to add width to the image, I'm looking to keep the width of the image and outline the edge with a different color. I have tried using "shr...
I have some experience with adobe photishop. I know how to select a part of an image (or layer) and to resize/transform it (ctrl-T).

I am working with labels on a choropleth map, all imported from a PDF in QGIS. Because of issues related to the text when importing the file, I need to replace the label on each polygon. For some reason, though, Inkscape is now showing all the text below the polygons instead of above them: I have even tried adding the...
I recently started learning Adobe Illistrator and I'm trying to make a gradient follow a loop. From what I could find online, I've learned how to make a gradient follow a path, but I can't find anything that involves a path that overlaps in a loop. What I have in mind is something like this, where the gradient follows ...
I have two mosaic images that I wish to blend together, one in blue and one in magenta. [\1] The first approach is to add a mask of gradient opacity onto one of them, and then simply put the gradient one onto the other. [2] However, the result didn't seem to be balanced. The one with the mask always ends up to be less...
How can I preview Lottie JSON files after creating them? When I try to view the files, they just open the code in Notepad! :@ I would like to watch the animation like I do after creating a GIF file. Is there any way I can watch a Lottie JSON file like this?

I'm fiddling with compound paths and discovered something I cannot explain. It's baffling me. Create two text objects (e.g. A, B). Outline both, ungroup, release compound path and remove the bowl objects from the B and the triangle from A. You'll now have two closed paths that are the outline of the letter. Make a co...
In AI, we could go to the menu "View" => "Presentation Mode" to preview entirely an artboard. I would like to know if there is a shortcut to do that. I tried Command+Y on Mac, but it did not work. Does anyone know?
I'm a beginner of AI. I very often need to left-align two text boxes. Sometimes, I can just move one around the other, and a "glyphbound" can appear. But the "glyphbound" does not always appear. I understand that there are point type and area type, but it does not seem that they are related to this alignment. Are there...
I would like to draw a polygon as follows. I know how to use pen tool or shape builder tool (1 rectangle + 1 triangle - 1 triangle) to do this.

In Adobe Photoshop is there a way to have multiple layers selected and then delete pixels in a selection from them? The closest I could think of is to add them to a group and apply a mask created from the selection, but my preference is to destructively delete. Alternately perhaps there's a way to program an action to ...
