For a simple game design, I find myself needing numbers in a consistent style, all of them single point text objects. Importing a text file creates a single text frame, and that's not what I want. Is there a way to create a set amount of point text objects, with numerals increasing?
Again an SVG rendering bug, so here we go. What I did I wanted to combined (or add) an arrow at the bottom of the Mastodon brand/icon and kept everything else, basically. (Switching the letter was easy, e.g., and can be ignored here) However, this lead to some rendering bugs in some software. What I did in Inkscape was...
I am new to doing vector art with Photoshop and am encountering a weird problem. I've been using paths to define my shapes, and using free transform to mirror them and drag them over to look reflected across the middle of the canvas. This was working until recently; I dragged the duplicated path over and it somehow doe...
I have been abusing Photoshop and Layer Comps for DTP purposes for some years now, and it has been working remarkably well for me. I setup a Layer Comp per page and then export to PDF. Every now and then though, Photoshop does not agree, and exports jagged text. The root cause is not always clear. Sometimes it seems re...
Duplicate of this question since society of retro-computing closed it and recommended it to be moved here. In the good ol'days many computers limit their palettes to 4 to 6 colors instead of 8/16/256/4096 or more, thus dithering was applied to offer a larger collection of choices. While 8 or 16 colors can offer a relat...
I am designing the layout/look-and-feel of a website in Microsoft PowerPoint (Office 16) on Windows 10.

I have been having problems to getting rid of that outer blue border because it keeps on hiding other objects when inserting text, images, and shapes... please send help
I've always known the DPI (or PPI) value and the image size to have an inverse relationship, as the name implies. For instance, if I have a 500px wide image at 144 DPI, changing it to 72 DPI will increase its dimensions to 1000px wide. I can't recall exactly, but I believe this was my experience with Photoshop in the p...
I made this design for practice, a simple popup warning someone of something: Immediately, I could tell there was something wrong with it, but I couldn't quite place my finger on what. I shared this dilemma on another forum, where someone designed this: As soon as I saw it, I could tell this was a better design, but ...
When Image Tracing an image, I like to control the amount of colours exactly. As far as I know, older versions allowed this with the 'Colors' slider, enabling me to pick exactly the amount of colours I want in the tracing result. The newest version of Illustrator CC has significantly changed this behaviour. pIcking any...
Need to darken the lines on this drawing. I know nothing about editing or graphics. Eventually I need to make an svg of this drawing to make an acrylic embosser to use on fondant
Arabic fonts tend to appear smaller than Latin fonts because of the vertical space taken up by diacratics. This is especially noticeable when typesetting the Quran, which has much more of these than Standard Arabic. My question is, should I scale up the font, by say, about 1.2 or 1.4, in order to account for this? Or i...
I work on an automated embroidery pattern generator which processes the input image into a series of PDFs showing the color of each pixel mapped to a specific type of yarn. Processing the original "real-life" image works good, however I've noticed that significantly better results are obtained if the original image loo...
I can try to fill the empty space left manually after doing "reset with mesh" but I want this to be automatic. If I only use text, it will get extended without leaving empty space.
How can I add light to the star on the right hand side (2B) in order to achieve the desired result (2A - picture on the left)? How would you do that in Photoshop / Illustrator? Do you know good tutorials I can find about this topic on the internet? Thank you and kind regards, Silvan

Is it actually possible to apply kerning between a greek letter, say delta, and a 'normal' letter, say 'A'? I can apply kerning between normal letters etc but can't manage to get a space between delta and 'A'. I created a new lookup table and subtable and added a delta and 'A' and added a value for the kerning. I selec...

I have two images which I want to skew with the same amount. Is there a way I could 'copy' the skew from one image to the other one? I could do this by eye but this would not be an ideal solution. I want to go from this: to this, but with the exact same amount of skew.
I'm stuck with a task I initially thought should be very simple to complete. I would like to add some Christmassy clipart to a photo in GIMP and then print the photo or use it with an online card portal to send Christmas wishes. The reason I'm using GIMP is because it's truly free and Windows Paint can't seem to do on ...
I'm trying to add a custom glyph to a font. I've opened the font in FontForge. I go to Encoding > Add Encoding Slots > then press OK for adding 1 new slot. Then I add the glyph to the new slot.

I'm working in the US and so always am using SWOP in my color settings in InDesign. The current project I've got will be printed in the EU and the printer wants Fogra for the PDF I deliver for print.

Is there a Photoshop keyboard shortcut for last brush used? The internet is tellig me that "Shift + ‘,’ or ‘.’ moves to the first/last brush in the list" but when I do this it changes the mode from 'Normal' to 'Luminosity'.

In order to print a lot of photos at scale, I create a huge canvas in GIMP and drag the images, then organize by hand. The result looks like this. I feel like GIMP could do its own organization of the layers by size better than I can by hand but maybe not. It could even rotate the images 90' if it were more efficient ...
I often see color themes using names of companies or products and wonder if there are potential legal issues. For example, there are blog themes out there which replicate the look of Edward Tufte’s books and website. They may even call it “tufte-light” or “tufte-dark.” I’ve seen charting packages use the color schemes ...
I have this infographic: As you (hopefully) can see, this is about traffic increase versus shifting in different modes of transportation.

I want to generate an array of 200 paths with varying (random) lengths..... I can easily generate the 200 paths. I'm struggling to find a method or tool to randomize the path lengths. I could, of course, do the randomization manually, but there surely must be a more automated method. I am aware that the Astute Graphic...

Is it possible to create a brush that understands a vector mask? This is the basic idea of what I'd like to achieve.

Edit for cl...
(Working in Adobe Photoshop 2023) I'm working with hexagons and went to the trouble of making a pixel perfect grid of guidelines so that I can quickly align my layers as needed (necessary with hexagons due to that pesky square root of 3 in their ratio).

In Adobe Express, there's an auto remove background functionality.

I'm playing around with the color adjustment layer capability in Photoshop (24.1.0). My image mode colour mode is set to RGB. But my options in the color adjustment menu are specified in CMYK.

Expectation I expect a colour to look different on one display to another, due to hardware differences. I expect that my OS (Windows 11) can compensate for this difference in software, with the use of Colour Profiles. This compensation should then mean that colours match to the human eye as closely as possible, between...

I am aware that ligatures are not characters, and that they shouldn't be included as such. I'm just wondering, however, whether some might have made their way into unicode regardless. There's ß, which is a bit of an edge-case, since it's historically a ligature, but nowadays used as though it were its own character. Is...
