I'm creating a poster in Inkscape using various complex objects containing a lot of nodes. Inkscape is lagging quite a lot lately and so I thought I could edit the separate objects in separate files first and combine them later.

I'm in prepress and for a long time I have know that it is a no-no to have images non-proportionally scaled but no one has ever explained why? Does it error out when it gets to the RIP? What is the problem with stretching an image just a little bit more in one direction?

Is there actually a typographical benefit to variable fonts? Or is it just the font companies trying to justify new purchases?

Paint 3D seems to be a very user-friendly software; one that can easily manipulate 3D shapes and objects.

I sit and play with it for l...

Which workflow, software, and tools...

I can't find any way to edit a Gradient Swatch in Illustrator's UI. I can do lots of things with a Color Swatch or a Pattern Swatch, but for some reason, I can only change the name of a Gradient Swatch when I double-click on it in the Swatches panel. If you "edit" it with the Gradient panel, that creates a brand new Gr...

When I see a JPG file, I know for sure this file is lossy. When I see a PNG file, I know for sure it is lossless. But WebP is a different thing, it supports both lossless and lossy "modes", so how I can detect whether a downloaded .webp file is lossy or lossless?
The following image was found on Google's I/O webpage. What's this design-style that Google seems to have adopted called? If I were to make an educated guess, I would call this flat-art, but it seems to be slightly different compared to the flat-art designs I have seen so far.
I'd like to 'animate' an image at the bottom of the page of an existing book, so people can flip through and see the image change.

I’m new to animated gifs, and exporting in GIF format is vexing! What I've tried: The best ways to (relative) HQ I’ve found so far are (1) gifgun (2) giphy. I’ve tried the Premiere way but it’s not as good, plus it needs me to raise the FPS to at least 50 and I’ve heard that a high FPS GIF can be too taxing. PS doesn't...

I asked a question earlier regarding how to make traditional mosaic art in a less time-intensive way, and was told pretty unanimously that the only way to go about it would be by working on tiles individually.

I have some brand guidelines. One of the main colours is #004F6B. The guidance advises the use of "10% tints" to expand the palette.

Sometimes I find myself dealing with some complex shapes (consiting of many Path groups) and the easiest way to ✌ crop ✌ a part of that is to use a clip.

A client has been a real nuisance in making unreasonable demands, and has been really rude on top of that.
