Say I have an image (this, specifically) which, for whatever reason, has poor color reproduction. (In this case, what should be a medium pure red is sort of rust, and what should be a medium pure green is a washed out teal... never mind the "black" and "white" that aren't.) Is there any way to apply color transformatio...
I extended a Katy Perry album cover using Photoshop's generative fill and Stable Diffusion, now the image looks like this: It looks OK, but I'm sure there are some techniques for how to make the image look better.

I'm looking for the name of a font which was quite commonly used on storefronts in France during the late 70s / early 80s (I guess).

I'm using FontForge to create a Hebrew font that supports advanced diacritics, i.e. distinguishes between sheva naḥ and dagesh ḥazaq/qal.

I have drawn an outline in a distinct colour and filled in everything I wanted. All that is left to do is to replace the outline inbetween and fill it with the adjacent colours.

While I understand the basic concept of the 12-step color wheel, I've noticed that in many color palettes, the saturation (S) and brightness (B) values of the colors often do not remain constant, even though the colors fit together harmoniously. This observation has led me to wonder: are there any established mathemati...
I try to cut the lines on the outlines of the text. The expected result is optically what you can see on the picture below, but if I export to SVG the lines are of course still the whole width.

In the same way MS Word and other word processors use middots for spaces, pilcrows for paragraphs and the little right arrows for tabs, is there a typographic mark to represent the concept of a page break?

In Illustrator, if you have two paths where an anchor from each is aligned horizontally and vertically(so they are right on top of each other) you can select both anchors, and join them with the join command so that the two paths become one. The issue I have is that you have to select the anchor points to do it. If the...

I'm seeing conflation artifacts when I output an AI to SVG from Illustrator. I see this in Inkscape, Chrome, Firefox, and in Flutter apps.

I have a blueprint with dimensions for my home. I'd like to find what the distance is from the right side of the window to the vertical dashed (blue) line to the right.

I am trying to create multiple pages in a design using bulk create. However, after uploading the data I get a button with the text "Generate 20 designs" instead of "Generate 20 pages".
