I just recently started using inkscape and I want to insert a latex formula. Doing some web searches I got to know it must appear under Extensions>Render>LaTeX. But when I tried to follow that the LaTeX option is not present under that menu. Where would I find the option to include latex equations and do I need to ins...
I am currently trying to turn a 35x75 pixel animated gif into a 75x75 animated gif while preserving the aspect ratio - in other words, I want to add 20 pixels of empty space on either side of the gif. This seems like it should be a simple enough thing to do, in theory, but in practice I've had absolutely no luck. I tri...
Pretty new to Illustrator, so I've been working on some graphics for quite a while and when I tried exporting it as SVG, to my surprise some parts of the artworks look blurry and pixelated. I understand that SVG has limited features, but for some reason I though that Illustrator will convert my drawing to SVG-compatibl...
I use Inkscape to create illustration for a "scientific paper". In this example I have 9 pictures in one illustration and I now want to add a small annotation (A-I) to each picture in the top left corner. Is there a better way to do this than creating a new text box, writing the letter and then using the align feature ...
Note: The answer does not have to involve Fiery Impose. I am only looking for a way to setup double-sided 4x3 badges for printing.

I am trying to create a map of a building in GIMP . The building is color coded by section with 30% opacity, and the space between the colors is currently white because that is the color of the base image that everything is being built onto. The layer that is to have the walkway colors was put next to last in the order...
Strange things are happening in the sharper bends of lines drawn with the calligraphy tool (see the locations indicated by the arrows).

I have 30 files all colored using the same global color swatch palette generated by the same .ase color swatch library. Is there a way to use a new .ase file to globally change those colors?

When communicate with people over a drawing I often like to mark it up to show where areas of interest are. The instinctive choice for color in the situation tends to be red, because red is often visually catching (i.e., markup with red pen). However, what is the best color to use if you are concerned about being visua...

I have two rectangles and a line in my Inkscape document. However, all of them do not have solid colors.

I created several concentric circles and I want to cut them in pieces where the radial lines pass as if was a pizza (leaving an empty space with the width of the line).

I have a document (specifically a scientific paper) with colored hyperlinks.

I am working on layouts for a project. When I type in captions for photos, there is a text frame around the captions and it won't let me "snuggle" the caption directly under the photo.

Are there standard sheet sizes for bleeds? My small printer can print slightly larger than A4, which would allow me to print things with bleeds and trim them—if only I could find paper that were A4 plus 3 mm around the edges.

In Illustrator, switching from RGB to CMYK breaks "screen" blend mode. Any idea how to keep the same aspect? I need CMYK.

When I add a text to my image in GIMP, it shows up with a transparent background (which I want). However when I convert the default GIMP file from xcf to a jpg, the text suddenly has a white background, which I don't want. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Images attached.

Is there a way to achieve with GIMP to have two resolutions in one file? Say that I want a small area (filled rectangle below) inside a less sharp file. By this I mean, if I zoom really into the maroon part of the file below, I hardly start seeing pixels while if I do so on the white part I do.

Are there any tools that help plot colors on a saturation vs brightness grid like below?

I see some professional printers asking for documents using CMYK instead of RGB. But I don't understand how it is better than RGB with an appropriate ICC color profile. Indeed, if my understanding is correct, the ICC color profile of the picture matches a RGB coordinate to an absolute color representation in XYZ or Cie...
In MS Word, if two paragraphs have, for example, before and after spacing: 10 pt, the space between each other will be 10 pt. They override each other.
