I'm trying to recreate an effect I've seen a few times where some text is placed over a background image, and the fill opacity over the background image is transparent but the fill of the rest of the text stays as normal. Also the stroke of the text doesn't change, essentially giving an outline over the image and fille...
I have a modal in a layer above everything else. I need to add a click to a button that shows the modal. How do I do this? Everything I've seen online involves adding multiple artboards. I just need to show and hide a layer on click.
I have a group of vector objects in Indesign. Now, I want to draw a polygon and that should provide the clipping mask for the whole group. The clipping path menu-item in the object top level menu is greyed out, so I cant do anything with it. I tried to group them somehow and played with the ordering, but to no avail. H...
I am struggling to find the actual way you're supposed to open this window/gui. I imported an image upon creating a new document on photoshop, but it only opened for one image (see picture). Is there any way to open this window in a more conventional and compatible way? Thanks in advance!
An example of a font like this: Note the non-contiguous "w" and irregularity in the outline of all the letters (particularly noticeable in the "o" and "p"). I assume the effect here is trying to emulate letter press techniques where the surface of the type isn't perfectly flat or imprecisely machined. I'm looking for ...
I'd like to draw over a photo in a new layer with the pen tool. When I do this, the path created has no colour. Do I need to use the Pixels option with the path tool?

When setting the location of a shape in Photoshop, by default you can type in the (x,y) coordinates of the top left corner of the bounding box of that shape.

I read a paper on robotics, it had some nice pictures with the schematic representation of an articulated robot.

I am trying to make a rotated dotted shape like in the picture. I already succeeded creating the dotted pattern using the blend tool or make a halftone pattern. I am stuck now with the rotation in the middle. My idea was to use ‚envelope distort‘ but I still don’t get the same result. With me it looks weird. I would ap...
New to XD and trying to make an animation where the tick transitions to a larger scale but then bounces back to its original size.

So, I want to print packaging for my product. The owner of the printing press picks the colors in the design, and each color costs $80. Does that mean that I will use only 3 or 4 colors in the design? Is the gradient counted as one color or several colors? If I add an image in the design, how much he will pick from the...
I was using the Free Select Tool in GIMP to plot points, and then I wanted to go back to a previous point to adjust it, but unfortunately I didn't perfectly hit the point to enable it to move, so it created another point. You can see it in the red encircled area that it attempted to draw the selection instead of draggi...
How can one replicate this style of drawing in Inkscape? In my attempts to implement this I've explored three approaches: (a) filling an object with a stripe pattern, (b) using the hatch path effect, and (c) a combination of the interpolate sub-paths + roughen path effects. You can see the results so far. Although the...

I have an application and website that uses a certain orange color as the main background. Because I look at it all day, I am always surprised and sometimes put off by how it looks on other devices.

What are image formats that can store multiple image in a single file? (I don't mean image formats such as GIF or APNG, which can store multiple images as animation frames. I mean file formats that support multiple images per file natively.) I know TIFF and HEIF can do it. (HEIF is lossy, unfortunately.) Are there othe...
Im getting confused with my XD animation. What I want to do is make a tick bounce and have trees moving behind the truck rolling through creating the illusion of movement.

I draw a map in Inkscape.

I can draw it completely by hand, by multiple sectors with different width and t...
I gave my printer a PDF made from my indesign file. When I got proofs back, they were way too dark. To address this, he printed 2 versions: 10% lighter and 5% lighter.

When I increase the stroke width in Inkscape for some words, It decreases each letters' width. Is there a way to make the stroke only add to the size, instead of taking from it?
This is a continuation of a question about how some points are not aligning. I am using the same tutorial as them, and I do not have snap-to-pixel on. However, I check the points of each corner to see the x-coordinate does not match the one that is above or below. Is this supposed to happen? Or is this an Illustrator r...

I am trying to print a photo onto basswood using sublimation. I then cut it to make a jigsaw. My problem is that the colour of the wood is "yellowing" the image once printed.

I am trying to fit a picture of a CD into a CD label template. The issue is that the picture of the CD I took, despite best efforts, wasn't directly from 90 degrees above.

I have twelve book chapters with figures numbered this way.

In the RGB color model, color values are represented in the 0-255 range. 0 is not a dummy value, so in the 0-255 range, there are 256 colors. When using HSL (or something similar), I'd expect 50% to correspond to rgb(127,127,127) because 50% of 256 colors is 128, and 128 corresponds to 127 in the 0-indexed 0-255 range....

I originated a design project with stylesheets years ago. The project has since been resaved by others as new docs multiple times in updated InDesign versions, and is now back with me.

Why do designers separate out letters in Adobe Illustrator? I can't seem to find the answer. I know it's an elementary design question but what is the design function behind separating them out?
