I receive about 500 to 1000 photos of charts or graphs on a daily basis that i have to remove all the components of the photos except their numerical values. This is an example of my photos: I select graph bars using Magic Wand Tools in Photoshop: Then move selected area to between logos and the numerical values: An...
Is the blue circle a "node" - or what - in this screenshot, and what can be done with it? Are the only edits (via GUI) going to be by clicking the individual circle? Will "stroke" make a point (I don't think it does). I tried hammering on it with obvious tools, and at best could make it into a path with a bunch of nod...

I'm using Adobe Illustrator 27.2 on Windows. This is the current version as of February 2023 on Creative Cloud. I have an Illustrator document of a company logo originally intended for print use: the artboard dimensions are in Inches and it uses CMYK color (and the DPI is set really high, so the artboard's pixel dime...
I'm really more of a Photoshop person, so I have gaps in my self-taught Illustrator knowledge, so thanks for the patience. When I do logos for clients, I use Export for Screens as recommended by most YouTube videos I've seen on best practices for sending clients' final files. I export PNGs at a width of 1500 px, and th...
I'm a total newbie with Adobe. I have a bunch of plots and am trying to put them together and make a figure with a series of panels. I noticed that when I open a PDF in Illustrator, I can edit the text for the legends and axes, which is exactly what I want. But when I make a new Illustrator file with the dimensions of ...
I am making a pattern where I need to create squares made from circles, as shown in the image below. It's important that the corners have fully formed circles, so I am not using the "Pattern Along Path" feature. I'm currently making this by drawing a square, converting it to a path, then using the "Add Nodes" extensio...
I have a photo of dimension 2 inches x 2 inches. I wanted 6 copies of it, so I printed it as a grid of dimension 4 inches x 6 inches using some program. How can I physically cut a 4x6 photo into precisely 6 photos of dimension 2x2?
I'm trying to transform a color image into a bicolor image, for example I would like to end with two layers, one with black and another with magenta.

This is a first draft for a nursery logo. I'm going for the neutral-ish palette but still a with a little bit of colour.

Any feedback or a...
I'm looking to do one thing in Photoshop, but I'm not sure how to explain it. Let's say I have multiple identical ball images, each one on a different layer, or as a separate smart object. They're all arranged randomly on the canvas, without overlapping. I want to apply a perspective transform to them all, so that the ...
I am currently recording actions for stuff that I do very frequently. One of the things I do a lot is changing the stroke width and changing the stroke alignment. However, when I record an action to set the stroke weight, the action also records the attributes for other things like Alignment and Cap style. Is it possi...
Every time I select text, the bottom has more space than the top. So whenever I try to place it in the center of an image for example, it's always higher and never centered.
I have a linked image in Adobe InDesign which is a transparent PNG.

The famous font Sefard is a “faux Hebrew” Latin font: It looks like Hebrew script at first glance on account of incorporating typical Hebrew typographic elements, but actually it is a Latin-script font.

I created an SVG file which I want to print at a shop which uses the Epson SureColor SC-P9500 with 12 color channels. They told me to bring a 16-bit Adobe RGB TIFF file (ideally I'd like to print with the primary colors of the printer, but I guess that's not possible). Basically I don't care so much about the exact co...

Related to my other question, I need to convert my SVG to a 16-bit TIFF, which seems to be more complicated than expected. So I wanted to check Photoshop and Gimp, but they both (along with Figma) don't render my SVG correctly, so I wonder if anything is wrong with my code (here a simple example file, the original is ...
I'm new to Scribus, and although I've looked in the user manuals, I cannot find any information to answer my question, or to solve the problem: I imported a PDF which was, most likely, created by an engineering consultancy using a program like Framemaker.

Using Inkscape 1.2.2 (1:1.2.2+202212051550+b0a8486541), let's say I have this situation: I have a "physical" page which is 100x100 mm; and then "actual" page represented by the sqare which is 70x70 mm - therefore, the two guidelines on the image indicate a "margin" of 15 mm. Then, I have a circle (red) with 10 mm in d...

My working file is currently a two channel artwork in Photoshop, one black channel with one Pantone spot color channel over it. How do I prepare these files for press?

I used to get rid of noise in my scanned photocopies using a mixture of Brightness and Contrast which worked quite well.

Question is very similar to Edit smart object in Illustrator while viewing other Photoshop layers, but for Photoshop only.

Hi, I am trying to draw the figure shown here using inkscape. I can create a cubiod/slab but I am not getting this view. I don't know how to rotate it. I guess rotation is not possible as it is only a 2D graphic software. How to draw the glass slab shown as here in inkscape? Please help.

I've been trying to branch out with Inkscape and have been experimenting with the interpolate extension. One thing I cannot work out is what the difference between the two interpolation methods is.

I've used Gimp's "Color To Alpha" (C2A) in the past, and it was always the case that, if you placed the resulting layer over a background of the "removed color", that you'd get back the original image.

I'm working on a big project, that has a huge artboard. There are a million comments. When I click a comment, then it zooms all the way out, so I can see the entire artboard (6% zoom).

The printing company that I use prefer all files to be supplied in RGB. The only problem for me is accidentally picking a colour that is too bright. Is there an easy way around this? I recently heard about the gamut warning in Photoshop when picking colours so maybe I could use that. Alternatively I could convert all i...
It's pretty common nowadays—especially for UI mockups—to replace insignificant text with subdued rectangles. See example below. Does anyone have a really simple way of creating those—especially in a design tool like Illustrator or Photoshop? Of course, I know I can draw/duplicate/position rectangles to look like the t...
I have been trying to vertically center text within a box in Inkscape 1.2, using the tool circled in red: The result isn't perfect: as you can see, the text is aligned using the height of the highest character (the "A" on the left, and the "x" on the right). The result I would like is this: This is done using HTML/CS...

It is common to see the recommendation to have icons be pixel-snapped to avoid blurriness. However, I've done a test with more or less the same image, one pixel-snapped and one unaligned with the pixel grid and I can't observe any difference in blurriness. I've set my laptop to several different resolutions, but none c...

I'm confused, why aren't the scales in the plot (with the labels 6000, 4000, 3000, etc.) forming a right angle with the Planckian locus? In my understanding, for a color not on the locus, one chooses the perceptionally closest color on the locus and takes the color temperature from there. But if the metric of CIE 193...
I work a lot with brand colours specified as Pantones, but often printed as CMYK.

What I've checked: Testing shows ...
I know that images need to be around 300dpi when printing, to ensure optimum quality... but do I need to actually specify that in Photoshop?

It seems to me that if your stroke width is odd (e.g. 1), wouldn't it make more sense to have an odd number of pixels so you could perfectly center lines and be aligned to pixels? However, I've never seen anybody ever recommend using an odd-numbered grid. Here's an example. If I know I want this icon to always be this...

I have tried a few font identification services, to no avail. It seems to me this should be pretty easy to figure out, given the opinionated letterforms of E, Ö or R, but I've so far been unsuccessful.
