Similar to how Adobe Illustrator has the ability to programmatically add N-number of anchor points to a shape or line without having to use the Pen tool to manually place each one, does Figma have a way to add say, 30 anchor points to a line, spaced evenly? Doing this manually with the Pen tool is both tedious and time...

Those are the two ...

I would like to convert an image in to 16bit high-color. I have gimp installed, but am also open to using web tools or even command line tools.

So in the vanilla game that I am trying to mod there is selection of scars that are very pinkish and do not adjust based on the skin color you select for your character.

For me it looks like two paths touching for some time, and...

In Adobe Illustrator, how can one recreate the eyeball in this image? The best method I have is to create a stack of parallel lines (alternating black and white, evenly sized, evenly spaced) and warp them over and over (any combination of warp-twist, warp-wave, warp-fisheye) until I get something close to this. But it...

I'm interested in printing on transparencies to expose my artwork onto Toyobo Printight® plates and silkscreens. I work in monochrome, but when I print my images my printer uses "rich black".

As an example, suppose I open this image (from a simple PNG or JPG file): I convert its only layer to a smart object so I can non-destructively make adjustments, apply filters, etc. I create a new layer and make some edits with the spot healing brush on that layer (so it's non-destructive as well). Then I make some a...
I dislike dots above i and j, so I consider typesetting texts without the dots. Probably, it would be done with a glyph substitution described here.

I am currently working on a project that requires me to put together an image to be presented on a TV screen. My assumption is that the TV screen size and resolution shouldn't matter as long as I have my aspect ratio correct and use a high res image.

It seems like somewhere between PS 2021 and 2023 the "sticky" notes icons left by the Notes Tool are much larger, and are obscuring parts of the image, especially when zoomed out. Every once in a while, it makes a "normal" smaller size note. This must be some sort of bug or bad implementation of a preference size for t...

I'm currently developing a web app that uses very, very dark images as background. To prevent color banding, I'm adding some randomized noise to the images: Now, it's very easy to just overlay an image with noise and set the opacity to a low value, but that's not dithering, right? That's just film grain. If I understa...

I found this neat way to round corners in Photoshop: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/a/2772/182037 Basically, you apply a gaussian blur to the image and then sharpen it.
