It's my first time in this forum chat, so I'm sorry if there are my words that inappropriate to you all. I use Windows 8.1, Inkscape version 1.2.

Using Adobe Illustrator, I would like to make an bent arrow consisting of a rectangle and a triangle. If I don't bend the arrow, I can just combine the two objects with the path-finder tool.

I have offen encountered this issue when working in RGB using the Difference mode under the Oppacity panel, and would want to save the artwork (attached image) for printing.

I asked a similar question on the LaTeX stack exchange and they suggested that I come here. Many typographers such as Matthew Butterick and R. Schlicht recommend using increased letterspacing between capital letters.

I'm making this poster: SVG file Even though I find it's quite a good design, my lack of formal education in graphic design makes me unable to explain why it is a good one. Especially on the text. For example, here are some of my questions: The typeface is Book Antiqua. Why does it look fit in here? Does the italic t...
For the example image above - I would like to add a white background. However, I want that white background to "trace" around the logo + text so it isn't simply a rectangle. I'll try to explain another way: Think of this image with a white stroke added to the outside of the shapes + letters. That cares for the shapes ...
I've let myself get beyond furious while working on converting a novel into an epub through InDesign. I've searched similar threads across the web, but none have been particularly helpful.   I'm using InDesign 2022 17.0 on a Macbook Pro, OS Monterey 12.4   I'm trying to insert an author photo and an image of his books ...

I wanted to center a square inside an triangle, but in certain attempts, I wasn't convinced that this is a good center for this type of triangle to position this square at.

If saving a PDF from Illustrator, when should one enable the "Use Document Bleed Settings" option? And in what cases should one leave this option disabled? The reason I ask is, we leave some bleed with the intention that it be used when printing - right? The way this is worded, I have to wonder if leaving it off will c...

Is it possible to automate previewing in a single Photoshop document, multiple sizes of a particular artboard? For example, this is quite useful for icons, to see how a design scales from the large 1024x1024 to 512x512 to the 324x324 to the 64x64. Ideally, the other sizes could be automatically generated from a particu...
It would seem that I'm very bad at explaining myself. This is not unusual, thus this clarification. Imagine a flip dot display. 2 colors, one or the other, per flip dot or pixel, no substrate, no ability to adjust the intensity. The imagine that these flip dots are infinitely small, or perceivable, individually, and th...
Is it possible, using the Width tool (Shift+W), to change the width of a path at two (or more) points simultaneously? I am trying to adjust the width of a closed path symmetrically, by working on two opposite points at a time.

I am listing a couple of skills in my CV which I do not want to present as a enumeration with line breaks. I want to avoid line breaks because this introduces a lot of space vertically.

There are overhead generators for town maps, however the elements of interest (church, castle, etc) don't have an appealing looking. However in the case of overhead maps for landscapes, it seems that the elements (mountains, forest, desert, etc) have a more appealing depiction. They are not depicted as top-down, but as...

I draw a circle, and in the middle of the circle is a dot. This is the centre dot. I would like to use the line tool to draw a line from the centre.

I have been writing code in the python-fu console of gimp and I wanted to find the minimum of an image histogram (the pixel intensity value with the least frequency).

I use InDesign for layout of pieces which range from 2 to 72+ pages. On occasion I'll get a client request to send a PDF and Word file for the latest iteration of a piece so that someone somewhere can review the copy and edit it as necessary (Often legal reviews). The goal is an easily edited Word file which has identi...
Line segment 1 and 2 are the same angle (2 is a copy of 1). I am trying to connect 1 with 3 at the highlighted intersection, but when I try to drag segment 1 (not from the anchor point, the entire segment itself) it doesn't want to snap the two end anchor points together. How do you go about making this happen?
Are there any recommended techniques for "inpainting" sections within a photoshop image using AI techniques such as Stable Diffusion or DALL-E?

This question concerns the plain color name pink only (rather than its variations, such as Light Pink, or the subjective perceptions of various people, or ink names (such as Pink C), or the pink color range, all of which exist in it own right) for technical purposes.

Every new shape I draw in the Pencil tool always comes up as transparent, where as other tools (rectangle, ellipse, polygon, etc.) always keep their default or previously chosen fill color.

Can someone help me identify the base font used in the Persona Q. I tried to usual machine identifers such as fonts.com and likefont.com, but no luck. I know it may me hard to identify since the logo has alot of intentional text warping, but help on this would be appreciated.
I have created a logo in Ps that uses the path blur effect. I would like to convert it into a vector in Ai as I would like to have a higher resolution print on a sublimated shirt.

I have a photo of my dog and I thought it would be fun for my kids to reproduce it in chalk on our drive way in large scale, then look at it from our up stairs window (and hopefully learn about colors etc on the way!).

I've created a few drawings of characters with blank faces and several different facial expressions that I intended to simply put over the drawing of the blank-faced character (face pictures have correct transperency).

I am currently doing some simple svg files by hand. They contain simple graphics. Think of a circle representing a planet and a smaller circle passing in front of it representing a moon.

I like to use black-backgrounded slides for my conference presentations. However, as research papers use white-backgrounded figures, they should be converted. A good option is inverting the colours. However, often the inverting does not give nice colors. Is it possible to do the same process but use nice, predefined co...
I want to make it easier to use Inkscape. So I want the defaults to be changed to what my users expect.

What is an effective way to erase thin lines, for example, notebook ones?
I already watch and learn many tutorials about graphic design programs (for example Inkscape, Blender 3d, MediBang Paint, etc).

The reason I'm trying to print directly from Photoshop is to keep the image quality. Converting to JPG was my first idea, copy pasting the cards to a word doc or something to get a full page but that didn't work because converting a PSD to a JPG is a quality disaster.

In the 2 images below, mesh topography or wireframe drapes a woman (and two hands) in a photograph, creating a mixed media portrait composed of digital effects and photography.

I'm currently working on translating an interactive PDF in InDesign and I am wondering if there is a way to edit already written List Items instead of having to delete and adding new ones each time I want to edit the List.

I want to create a piece of wood. Think of a 2x4 with some pseudo-depth. Using Illustrator I create the simple appearance of depth using two objects — a light and dark object.

I want to display a scientific poster on a 55 inch television. Paper posters usually have A0 dimensions (84,1 x 118,9 cm). The powerpoint template from the congress has a wide format with 33,867 cm and 19,05 cm. But since I know the screen will be 55 inches, wouldn't 121.7 cm and 68.6 cm more appropriate? Or don't it e...
Somehow the highlight color in Pattern Editing Mode has been set to yellow for me.

I'm creating a block of wood viewed from the front. I'm creating some pseudo-depth by using a darker shape with the top and bottom at opposing angles. i.e. "fake" 3d essentially.

So, I imported a pdf chart for a knitting pattern into Inkscape. See image attached. Everything imported as paths.

It has becom...

Since it is very overwhelming and doubtfully necessary, is it a good idea to depend on printers (RGB to CMYK) auto-conversions to produce usual printing needs?

This has been annoying me for a while, essentially, my basic brush options now only have one option: I believe it might be something to do with colour options, as that doesn't work either.
