I have been doing work in Photoshop, but the saved .tiffs look vastly different outside of Photoshop. I save as .Tiff because often the files are larger than 2GB so no PSD.

In Photoshop (CS6), how do I get rid of an image protruding from it's frame as pointed to in the below image? EDIT: Including the layers: Creating a shape (circle) layer so I can use clipping mask only works if it contains a fill. No fill doesn't seem to work.
I used an Illustrator extension called FontSelf Maker to convert a series of designs to font glyphs, and I'm using FontForge to edit each individual font as necessary. I cannot figure out what's going on with this specific glyph - the paths all seem right, but there are too many fills. I've tried a bunch of different o...

Reducing colors with levels will give you very high contrast stencil-like results. Half-tone effect will be too "perfect", stamp effect gives too much contrast too. Any ideas how to make similar images? Diffusion Dither is different thing.
I would like to use this CSS pattern in my Figma project but I stuck. So far, I have not found a description for implementing such a complex pattern. Is this even possible in Figma? Or is it just embedding as an image?

There is a very useful Adobe CC extension called Adobe Scripts Panel, which is essentially a panel that lets you run scripts on the fly without having to go to File > Scripts > Select Script in Photoshop or Illustrator.

For example say I'd like to draw an 'F...

There is a nice tool provided by Adobe for removing bacgrounds for photos, https://express.adobe.com/tools/remove-background.

The "ISO 8601" date format is praised for its unambiguity, but it's predominantly a digital format, not too common in traditional media. Do you allow YYYY-MM-DD in print projects, or do you always opt for other formats in that context? Plus, with the digits tightly together only separated by hyphens, it may not look ex...

I want to draw a picture as shown below. There are many rectangles. Each rectangle can be filled with a 1/N (N=1-8) ratio of colors. I've taken the dumbest approach before.

For some reason I can't seem to select just one object in Blender. In this case I only want to select the square on the right. But when I select it, both squares become highlighted. I think the reason for this is because the square on the left was selected when I added the other one. So now they are 'conjoined'. I've ...
Hey I'm very new to illustrator. I've made a design with the pen tool (path), it has a few overlapping shapes and looked ok.

Recently I did something in GIMP, and now no matter what image I open, (almost) none of the tools work.
