I have a bunch of tables where I'm using a title paragraph in the header as cross references in a table of contents. Some of these tables are quite long so I have the header set to be repeating so when I need to have the table continue on another page, all the header stuff is there as well. The issue I'm having is that...
I had this question previously, but it is not working anymore with Photoshop 2022: How to quickly get inside of this magic wand tool border selection - complex image I don't know why.

The exact same animation rendered as a 30 mb mp4 video, as well as a 30 mb gif animation, we would see the web server struggle to load the Gif animation for autoplay even though both files are the exact same size for the identical animation. Why is this? What makes web streaming so difficult for loading Gifs versus loa...
In the computer software Blender, there is an apply button when using a mirror. When you have pressed that, you can change one side of the previously mirrored object and the other stays the same. How do I do this when using a mirror symmetry - path effect in Inkscape? Thanks in advance.
I've created the following image in Photoshop (500x500 res). Each layer in the image is made with the shape tool. The image I've created looks great on my personal device and in Photoshop. However, I noticed that when uploading the avatar to Twitter and GitHub--it doesn't look good at all. Below is what the image look...
There're many free pixel-style fonts available, like FontsArena's W95FA and wixette's Dotted Chinese Pixel Fonts with Unicode support. However, when trying to use those pixel-style fonts into pixel art, they are not pixel-perfect and blurry, or have broken outlines. In Photoshop, anti-aliasing set to none, 7px high: ...
I have a font with OpenType alternates that I want to use in a program that doesn't support the selection of OpenType stylistic sets (like my game engine). For example, I may want to use the non-default single-storey "a" from Montserrat, while keeping the angular capital "A". Is there a program I can use to bake in onl...
I'm trying to find a suitable pipeline for projects, using pictures. I'd need to obtain, at the end, a SVG with a lot of details instead of a huge black and white mush. Here is an exemple : Credits : Legends of Runeterra from Riot Games From this picture, I'd like to get a SVG in black and white where almost all the d...
I created a design in Illustrator by drawing a series of paths with the pen tool. I then grouped, duplicated, and reflected, to make the shape symmetrical. I then added stroke width, and created a stroke outline. I intend to export it as an SVG, but I cannot figure out how to remove the internal geometry: I have tried...
I’m new to InDesign. I know how to make a numbered list in InDesign and also how to style the numbers (font, colors). But I want behind each number to be a banner I have made in Illustrator. I need something like the result in the following screenshot.
I would like to have a code listing with alignment in HTML.

In this example i would like to turn the background white and when you look at the scattered hair it obviously is really hard if not impossible when using the magic wand tool. The magic wand tool does not make the cut. Since it is quite clear that there is the contrasting regions of dark (hair) and light region (backgr...
What are the problems with how the data is represented in the following graphs? What alternative plotting method can be used to better convey the information? For the ten states graph, I think it may be better to show the number of homeless rather than rate, as a similar rate can be from very different numbers. For t...
Basically the way paint bucket can fill a region with color I would like to do that except fill a region with a pattern. Crossposted here Not the same as this as I'm only filling a region not an object e.g. replace the orange, yellow, blue etc here with different patterns
My apologies if the terms are not the best, I just started using Inkscape yesterday. I am using this software to transform any image into SVGs with shades of grey. On the picture down below I did 9 passes in grey level of a tree image. I then get a grey version based on the 9 passes that are combined. I need a lot of p...
When I go to fill and stroke -> fill -> pattern how do I select a color for the pattern? Selecting a color removes the pattern and vice versa. Even when I precolor the region with the correct color, pattern fill selects seemingly arbitrary colors. Also posted to Inkscape Forums
Given the fact that the RGB color space does not include all colors (perceptible by human eye), is there a place where I can see all colors? Like, a museum of materials that reflect a color beyond RGB? Maybe monitors that uses additive colors other than RGB (or extends RGB)? Please don't say anything like "go outside, ...
I am new to svg and trying to understand the arches and curves. After reading the documentation I understand on how to build arches and curves with Q and C, but I can't quite get to the right result when I am trying to draw. Here is the example of what I have drawn so far: const width = Dimensions.get('window').width; ...
I have a map that I have assembled from many equally sized squares and now wonder if there is a way to make photoshop automatically fit all of the pieces together to remove any gaps and overlaps instead of me moving them by one-two pixel at a time. Thank you.
I need half-art-half-engineering software to draw diagrams of the design concepts (mostly 2D). I need something that let me type the coordinates, can toggle snapping the mouse to the grid like AutoCAD, and edit the colors and line widths as well as bucket-fill a space like Photoshop. So this software can replace my col...

I'm trying to place an .ai file into my InDesign file, but for some reason it seems like the 3d effects and drop shadow aren't showing up in my InDesign file.

I'm trying to create a figure like the following: I want to be able to convert it to Tikz code (it's for some math notes) so I'm trying to replicate it on Inkscape first.

I started with the full letter S and wanted to split it into three but when getting just the middle part no matter how I do it (with scissors, closing the end with pen, deleting anchors then moving the ends down ect) I always end up with the image below: Is there a way to make the middle segment of the S fully black? ...
I have been looking for a cross-platform friendly typeface, and in this regard Georgia seemed like a safe choice - or so I thought. After using it for a few days on MacOS, it seemed a bit off in some circumstances. Some text frankly didn't look good. On Windows 10 this never was a problem. This led to a direct comparis...
I am trying to draw a spoke pattern with 300 spokes converging on a circle at the center in Adobe Illustrator. I would like each spoke to represent a different category at the end.

This is my first attempt at designing a font. I created SVGs in Adobe Illustrator 2022 from editing an open-source font, typing, then converting the text to paths, then manipulating before saving as an SVGs.

I have multiple pictures of different resolutions. Three of those pictures are without an object and exactly like I want them, but they are really small (2x smaller than wanted at minimum), and I have a good-looking big picture, but with an object blocking about 20% of it. Is there a way, software, website or etc. to r...
How do I join two curves with straight lines in affinity designer? Here is a screenshot of the curves separated: This is what I end up with when I join nodes and close the path. I would like to connect with straight lines only.
In Acrobat DC it seems that the standard 'Select All' command doesn't have the capacity to select all content of all pages. It only does it for the current page in view. With this limitation in mind, if I want to change the type style/size/color of content across a document how can I do it ? I'm so surprised by this l...

Let's say that I have received info that ink limit should be 300% (this might or might not be accurate), but no info about the specific profile. I convert the files to Iso coated v2 300.

Newbie here! I am creating a family cookbook and using the opportunity to learn InDesign. With Paragraph Styles, my most recent pain-point has been adding "space before" and "space after" certain styles.

I am wanting to add an effect texture and customise the foreground/background colours but when I go into the effects panel its black and white even when I change the swatch colours. I was assuming it works the same way photoshop does?
Background During my online D&D session I grab period screen captures of the active window which is showing a 2D map or the area my token can see.

I start by saying that I am new in the world of Photoshop. I was making some changes to a gif, I had finished making some changes, and I was going to continue the next day, so I saved and turned off the PC.

I'm trying to recreate the Captain Planet logo as shown below, but I'm having trouble with the one-point perspective effect on the text. My first thought was to use Photoshop's 3D effects, but it's slow, buggy and deprecated anyway. I then thought about a hard drop shadow effect, rasterizing the layer style and the te...
I have been searching the font name using a couple of services like Fontspring Matcherator, WhatTheFont! and Photoshop CC. Alas, I'm not able to find the name of the font. Can someone please identify this font? I would appreciate your help! The text written by this font is: "S.Walkowiak"
This file was created in photoshop & illustrator, and I'll be printing it digitally on a color laser copier at Kinkos. As you can see, there are a lot of very light tones and that when printed, a good portion of the underlying paper will show through. And if I were printing on white paper, it would be fine. However, I...

I am trying to create this shape in Illustrator and finding it particularly difficult: Creating a circle and cutting it into thirds isn't that difficult but rounding the corners similarly on each side is a bit more tedious - I can't think of how to round the corners another way than making a complex cookie cutter shap...
I am trying to think of a way to make this shape in Illustrator, is it a shape that encloses two circular gears (below is the hand drawn, non geometric shape I have now): This is as far as I have gotten, but I can't seem to think of how to make the "angle" between the two circles into a rounded angle: How can this be...

Perhaps a noob question, but I come from a Blender background and I'm having trouble in handling the different ways of deleting in Maya. Blender has a thing where it always asks you 'what' you want to delete among your selection. Like, even if you've selected edges, it asks if you want to delete those edges or the vert...
This is a follow-up question on the comments here: What happens if a commercial printer is using another profile than a file sent to be printed is converted to?

I work in a company, but not as a graphic designer. I also studied graphic design, so they asked me to make an infographic on what to do in case of earthquakes. They will not pay me for it.

I need to rasterize vector objects in PDF files, possibly with Acrobat. I need to rasterize only vector objects, not text.

I'm designing a 36"x48" poster in Adobe Illustrator and I want to work at 1/6th scale to keep file size low. I have to include raster images as part of this project.

I know this sounds silly, but this one of the reasons I prefer to work on Windows – one feature in MS Paint... When you select something in MS Paint, you can move that selection with arrow keys.

I wonder if I could use a larger drawing tablet (e.g., a 22" or 24" model) as a regular monitor or if there are drawbacks why one shouldn't do it.
