I'm trying to achieve something like this image in Photoshop CS6:
However I only need two large letters inside. The goal is to have the letters in a standard "squared" font (Arial Black) follow the contour of the sphere and split evenly at 90 degrees in the middle. I've tried liquify and spherize filters with no luck, as well as the text warp tool.

I'm making an icon for a speed reader app for the iPhone. These are more or less the designs I've been toying with:
Looking at them though, I just find they're a little boring. With the iOS 7 paradigm they seem to fit okay, but I just want them to be a little more exciting.
To illustrate what I mean, I really like the icon for Lumo:
It's very simple, similar to mine, but has a lot more character to the icon. I only don't like the long shadow thing.
How can I spice up my flat iOS icons? (I've tried really hard to avoid the word "pop" :))

I've asked this question before, but for Illustrator: How can I easily deselect a path after creating it in Illustrator?
I want to make hair strands, so I'm using the pen tool to make a path with two points. I am making hundred of these strands. I need to deselect the path after each strand. How do I do this? I don't want to copy the strand because that's not the look that I am going for. Thanks a bunch in advance!

Does anyone know how to change colors in letters to appropriately represent silhouette? A perfect example is the opening for the movie Superbad:
The 'U' is perfectly a U while having the right change of color to form the silhouette. I am trying to do a similar effect in Illustrator CS6, but no luck. I can create outlines of the text I have into fonts and play with the paths, but these seems tedious, is therein easier way?

I have so far used nothing but GIMP for photo touch-ups, logo designing, etc..etc.., Now I have seen that many use illustrator for logo designing, lightroom for photo editing so on...
Should I practice then on using other opensource alternatives(since I can't afford adobe suite) for different things? say Inkskape for example? I am not a professional graphic designer/photographer but I do like my hobbies too much, a word of advice is much appreciated!

I am working on this CMYK file and until today all colours could be selected and everything was working fine. Today I decide to give it a bright blue background, and select shade #0033ff.
I see a little warning sign near the 'new' colour in the colour picker window: it says out of gamut for printing, and offers me random dark blues like #3e5aa9 or #3d5ba9 in a tiny square below the warning sign.
What is happening? This had never happened before, how can I prevent this?

I want to create some vector based buttons which resemble the button design shown below:
I can just take a button and treat it as a bitmap and change text and appearance, but the output doesn't look professional. If I have a vector of the same design, it can easily be re-sized and modified without loss in quality.
How can I create vector versions of these in Photoshop CS6?

I'm doing a research for conceptual Logodesigns which should fit into a ecosystem.
I'm not sure if logosystems, ecosystems or logofamilies are the right terms.
I'm thinking about logosets like the Adobe Creative suite or the logofamily of the wikipedia foundation.
Do you know any other Logofamilies like these two examples?
Thank you.

Is there a way to copy a layer from one file and paste it into multiple files using Actions? I already use actions to re-size the images, but I end up having to manually copy and paste the layer with our custom watermark.
I tried using the copy and paste in place to get the logo in correct position. Then I need to re-apply the styles to the layer - not an issue. I just need to select the same layer from the same file each time.

I have N images in foldes with the same dimensions (HxW).
Is there any software that can resize all images to the configured size (for example proportionally reduce size of the pic by X) and build a one image - grid of this images? Maybe only build a grid from images without resize?
For example - i have 20 images 900*300, after give the folder with images as input to the software i'll get one image:
3000*200 (2 rows, 10 colums of images 300*100).

I'm pretty much a graphics design noob, as you can tell by this very basic question. What I am trying to achieve is to create a set of Android icons from an SVG file that I have. In case you didn't know, in order to support the different device sizes, I am supposed to create an icon for MDPI, HDPI, and XHDPI screens.
More detailed information can be found here
Here is the recommended dimensions for each size:
MDPI - 160dpi, 48x48px
HDPI - 240dpi, 72x72px (1.5x MDPI)
XHDPI - 320dpi, 96x96px (2x MDPI)
As I said before, I am starting with an SVG file that I have. The first thing I am doing is opening the SVG file using GIMP. Here is where I start to get confused. What value should I put for the pixels/in? The default is 90.
After I get past that screen, I pretty much just export it right away to a PNG. When I do that, I am prompted with another screen with a bunch of different options. Usually I just leave it as the default, but I'm not sure if that's the best idea. Anyways, when I go through this process, my icons still look really blurry on my Nexus 4.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have never created animations, but I want to make one for my website's home page. Basically what I have is an image where each chakra of human body is shown with its name. I want to show how the energy level moves in the body, from lowest chakra to top most chakra, changing the colors of the energy as they level up to a different chakra.
Which software can I use to make this animation?

I am trying to change the path of a two anchors. I have tried grouping the two anchors I do not want connecting together and goto Object>Path>Divide Objects Below, but nothing happens. I get the message, "The filter cannot complete because more than one object is selected." I only have the two anchors from the object selected, so I am lost.
I do not want to remove the anchors, just have the path of two between removed, and reconnect to a different anchor. This image shows what I want to do in illustrator CS6.
Thank You

I am attempting to experiment with different colours for the grey, orange and pink areas of this image. They all appear with no separation on a single layer.
So far I've tried selecting and separating them on to their own layers, then adjusting the hue/saturation of those layers. This did not work, however, as I only succeeded in adjusting the entire image.
What's the easiest way to accomplish this? Is there a easier way than using hue/saturation and adjustment layers? I can't quite figure out how the resulting colours correspond, so it would be easier if I could select the colours I wished to use directly...
Thank you in advance.

I'm having a rather annoying problem!
I have RGB images made in Photoshop that I need to convert to CMYK.
When I save the file my black background is converted to a light grey!
I tried deleting my background and adding a pure black background in my PSD file but even that comes out grey! There is no way to save black? The colors all look fine in Photoshop, it's just when I save them as TIFF/JPEG.
How can I prevent this?

I'm using Illustrator CC, and have a tear-drop shaped object which has a gradient mesh applied to it. I need to use the pathfinder divide tool in combination with another simple shape to take a chunk out of the teardrop, but the pathfinder tools don't seem to have any effect on an object with gradient mesh applied. Am I missing something obvious, or is this not possible?

I am currently trying to make some rounded social icons for my website.
I managed to fine a blog online which supplies some vector cutouts of some of the popular site logos I need.
What I want to try and do is use the vector image to cut the shape of that image in a rounded circle so I can have it transparent in the middle of the circle like so:
This is what I have at the moment:
My question is what is the easiest way to to this?
I have tried searching a few terms for it online but I am not sure what the process would be called.

Question: If I have a vector path (let's say it's an SVG), what's a website I can send it to and get various "styles" in return?
What I mean by "style" is just: change the colors of the vector paths around randomly or based on some palette, and apply some kind of visual effects... and for my purposes, it's perfectly fine if the result is a raster, so therefore whatever "visual effects" are applied could be raster effects.
...
My specific purpose (irrelevant to OP): I have a client who wants to have lots of real-life QR codes in his store, and I just want to make them less of eyesores. There are a few websites around that generate styled QR codes, but not much variety. So I'm looking for sites that can take my already-generated QR codes as vector paths and just stylize them for me; the more styles the better, and "random" styling is fine by me since I can just choose whichever results look good to my eye. However, QR codes are NOT on-topic for this OP; I'm aware that many "visual stylings" would make the codes unreadable by a scanner, but then again, many can be read just fine.

I'm editing an svg in Inkscape and I have an object on top of another object. I'd like to use the shape of the top object to cut the object beneath it.
For those who are familiar with GIMP, I'm trying to do something like the "alpha to selection" tool.

I am trying to optimize an animated GIF image in Photoshop. The current size is 2.2 MB. Following the guides I found online, they told me to "Save as Web" and then decrease the colors from 256 down to 128 or 64.
I tried that — however, when I try to decrease it, the size actually increased.
128 colors = 4.4 MB
64 colors = 5 MB
Does anyone know why this is happening?

I have some icons I'd like to purchase and use from iconfinder.com, but they are only available as .ico files. I want to use these as part of a user-interface on a website, so I need them as either bitmap or vector format that I can bring into Photoshop to produce transparent .png files.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get .ico files into Photoshop through some third-party application? If it matters, I am using a Windows computer.

How would you draw something like that blue border above, where there's a solid line that fades out to total transparency on one side, in GIMP?

I am planning to design a couple of phone cases which contain features other phone cases don't have.
My plan of action is like this:
Design phone cases on computer
Send emails around to companies that manufacture and sell phone cases showing my designs and asking for a certain price (like 10% sales on the phone cases)
This is first time I am doing something like this. Is the approach I am planning to do is correct in trying to get a company interested in my phones cases designs?

I have a library of custom Fireworks symbols which had symbol scripts allowing me to control the display attributes of elements and text via the Symbol Properties panel. The symbols and the scripts were created using Fireworks CS5.5 using the built in script editor.
When loading the same exact scripts into Fireworks CC6 they appear in the common symbol library but when they are added to the document the Symbol properties panel does not display the scripted options.
I have tried opening the script in the editor in the CC6 version and resaving with no change in behavior.
Does anyone:
See the same behavior (i do not see any help articles / issues on

I'm trying to recreate (as close as possible, doesn't need to be exact) a logo with text, but am having trouble. The reason I'm not just using the image is because it will be looped several hundred thousand times in a mailing app and introduces unnecessary overhead so I just want to use the closest possible text alternative.
I've tried the various font identifying sites (whatthefont, etc.) but it's to jumbled and Photoshoped to identify. Any help is greatly appreciated.

From this iPad App Store screenshot, what are the fonts for the Title, Author and Description text? Myriad Pro?

I don't know if the question's wording is correct. Basically, I have something like this:
As you can see, blue is fading into white. The blue and white are both merged in one layer. I want to take out the white, leaving a transparent background, so that blue can fade into any background color. Obviously just selecting the white pixels and deleting them won't do the trick, because the pixels in between would either be deleted as well, destroying the fade out effect, or kept, and it would still fade to white until another solid color appeared.
So is there any way to achieve this?
|
Maybe I've just completely missed the option, but how in the world do you crop and resize an image simultaneously in PS CS6? In CS5 and prior, when using the crop tool, I could set dimensions for the crop, resize the crop area to my liking, and cropping would resize the image - not just change the aspect ratio while maintaining the original image size.
I know that I can go down to "Size & Resolution..." in the dropdown on the left side of the crop toolbar, but that seems more than a little kludgy when previous versions could do it without any fancy footwork.

Yesterday I went to a local art market and found some work I really liked:

The Adobe After Effects CC feature Composition -> Save Frame As -> Photoshop Layers does exactly what I want. However, it is very time consuming to do this for each frame (I am animating a game character in Adobe After Effects, and then using the .psd files to create a sprite sheet).
Is there any way (perhaps a script) that can repeat this action for each frame, automatically numbering them, so it's one-click to export the entire sequence?

I have this image sprite containing many small icons.
I don't know the accurate size, height and width of each icon and it's too difficult for me to find it manually with my current tools (I am using Google chrome to edit CSS). Additionally, I need to know, in pixels, how far each icon is from the top and left of the whole image file.
This is the image file:
Are there any software or Photoshop tools that will enable me to select each icon and find out how big it is, and how far it is from the top and left of the image?

I want to import a PDF with multiple pages into Photoshop. The PDF contains tables which have a shading behind the row names and column names in the first column and row.

I'm trying to render an italicized lowercase omega (ω) with an inverted breve ( ̑ ) in a webpage using Times New Roman.
I'm using the combining character approach: ̑ ( ̑ ) and ω (ω) should combine into a single character ̑ω (̑ω). The resulting character looks fine if I copy and paste it into Notepad, but it has a problem on the webpage (or on this very stackexchange page): the inverted breve is too far to the left (see here).
So far, messing around with possible CSS solutions only makes things worse. For example, <em>τ<span style="margin-left:-5px">̑</span>ων</em> produces this.
Does anyone know how to adjust the location of the inverted breve? Thanks.

How do you prevent a transparent PNG-24 image from getting light edges when resized without having to force them out using the Webkit Optimize Contrast CSS rule?
Clarification: Resizing the image in Chrome results in lighter colored lines inside the letters and shapes near the edges. Those light edges are making the image jagged rather than sharp when sized down to 200px x 50px from its original 350px x 90px size.
Here is a better screenshot of the problem:

The company I'm designing a site for has an logo that I must work with. All of my ideas for standard color palettes and layouts are challenged by this logo.. Most [good looking] logos I've worked with and seen have one, two, maybe three colors. This one has six. They look okay within the context of the logo, but I'm having a difficult time translating any of them into the rest of the design. The only thing that's been promising is use of mostly neutral colors, but this leaves the site looking a tad bit boring, in my opinion.
Does anyone have any tips for this sort of situation?
Edit: Thanks for the answers, guys. I'm not comfortable posting the actual logo, but I threw this together to give a better idea of what I'm working with as far as colors and their corresponding dominance-
I probably made the color combination sound worse than it actually is because I've been over-thinking this. My most recent design iteration came out pretty well, but it does incorporate DA01's one-color suggestion which I'll have to run by the client. That opens up a lot of options.

I'm looking for the common names of the four basic control states (for desktop interfaces):
Control is in its default state;
Cursor is hovering above the control;
Control is being pressed;
Control is being held down, but the cursor is outside its pressing zone
So far I could come up with the following names:
default;
under cursor;
pressed under cursor;
pressed
But I don't think those are very good. Shorter and more intuitive names would look much better in code. Perhaps there are common names for each of these states?

I'm creating a t-shirt design and need to know how to combine all the white shapes that make this image and separate it from any dark green. The white image will eventually be printed on a dark green t-shirt as shown in the template. If you open the file you can see that the image was created with a combination of white and dark green shapes. I would like the white part that's visible to be the only image in this file.

This is a rather stupid question so I apologise in advance but I just wanted to be 100% sure! I have a set of photos at 300 ppi that are 800 pixels by 800 pixels and need to convert them in Photoshop to 72 ppi for web use (at the same size: 800px by 800px).
In Photoshop if I use the 'Resize Image' option and uncheck 'Resample Image' and then change the resolution to 72 obviously the pixel size will stay the same (but the physical dimensions in cm/inches will change). Presumably this will cause no quality loss at all compared to the original as all pixels will be retained there will just be less pixels per inch (as many as are required for web)?
I just wanted to make sure as one of my designers told me it would degrade the image quality but I don't think that's right?
The final image file used on the web will be a jpg but presumably in this same scenario TIFs would be the best source file type so as to not save to jpg twice (and suffer the associated image degradation)?
Thanks so much everyone!

In Illustrator's print dialog, I can choose trim marks and color bars, however it decides to place them outside of the print area.
The print I'm working on will be die-cut and would like to move the registration marks and color bars to a specific area inside the die-cut area.
Is it possible to get access to those marks in illustrator as objects? I'd be happy with a pointer to a vector based template as well.

It seems accepted amongst typographers that the double space after a period is a dated artifact of monospace typewriters, but is it acceptable to use a double space in between sentences like:
I trust Dr. Wang. Dr. Wang is very experienced.
Sure, you could rework the wording or even make this a single sentence with a conjunction, but what's the best way to typeset these two exact sentences in a proportional typeface?
Doesn't a double space help?
I trust Dr. Wang. Dr. Wang is very experienced.

This is something that I have struggled with for years. If I create a shape layer with rounded edges - for example with a 10px radius - if I resize the overall shape then the corner radius grows with it as well.
What I want to do is keep the radius of the edges whilst resizing the overall size.
The only way I can do this is by manually selecting the points on 2 corners and dragging one side of the shape layer. This is a bit of a pain though, and isn't the most efficient way of doing things
Is there an easy way to do this?

Design of almost all sites on the web is sharp. How can I create a good web page where tabs, buttons, and other UI elements mimic the style of impressionism?
I find common themes of impressionism to be small brush strokes, open composition, depiction of light as opposed to usual web graphics.
Do you think is it possible to connect these two?
Do you have any ideas how to do that?
Or maybe someone did it before and you know page like that?
I'll appreciate each opinion, idea, link or photo.

I have recently drawn and scanned a children's book that I will try to have published. I converted the scans into vectors using Vector Magic in order to have nice, clean, smooth lines without any stray pixels. These files are now .ai files. I was wondering what my next step is in terms of
cropping - The pages are currently fully scanned A4s. I wanted to crop the edges off that were not actually part of the drawing and make it a resizable landscape. I haven't decided on the exact dimensions, but it will be in landscape, perhaps 18.7w × 12.7h.
re-sizing or moving elements - some drawn elements (i.e. a person) are either too big or two small. In Photoshop, I would simply cut these elements out, paste them to a new layer, move and resize them. This also includes rotation for crooked scans.
painting. The drawing is currently black and white lines. I need to "paint around the vector sketches" - filling in all the white. I have recently played with the Live Paint Tool in AI, so I think I could do this.
getting it print ready. I haven't decided if I will self publish or submit to some of my favorite children's book publishers. If I self publish, I have seen mostly 300dpi PDF requirements. What's the best way to prepare vector graphics for print production?
I am new to Illustrator but well seasoned with Photoshop. It seems that Illustrator does not have the same functionality as PS. I tried converting and then opening as an .eps but my smooth lines were very pixelated. I'd really appreciate any advice!
Here is an example scan (non-vectorized) from the book

I've created a simple vector pennant type banner using Photoshop. I'd like to put a stroke on the banner with dashed lines approximately 3 pixels in from the edges of the shape. I know I can add a stroke to the shape and that looks fine, but I want to position the stroke so that there is a space of about 3 pixels between the edge of the pennant and the stroke. Is there a way to do that using Photoshop?

Hi there I'm trying to export all of the layers in my .psd to .pngs/.jpegs and I am having trouble exporting them so that the sizes of the individual .pngs are the size of the image they contain.

I'm trying to iterate through every layer in a document and for some reason my script only goes through the first half (13 out of 25) and then at 14 it says that the element doesn't exist. Could you guys help me figure out why? Below is the code snippet which goes through each layer
function processLayers(extension)
{
var doc = app.activeDocument;
//go through each layer and create a folder
alert('length is ' + doc.artLayers.length);
var length = doc.artLayers.length;
for (var layer = 0; layer < length; layer++)
{
var folderName = generateFolderName(doc.artLayers[layer].name, extension);
//create folder in photoshop with folderName
var folder = doc.layerSets.add();
folder.name = folderName;
doc.artLayers[layer].move(folder, ElementPlacement.INSIDE);

Let me begin this question by saying outright that I don't consider myself a designer! I'm a developer and my strengths do not lie in design but I am in a situation at the moment where I need to design a site and I have a number of different possible color schemes that I'd like to try out.
I've tried this before but ran into a number of problems - namely which color to put where!
So for example I've picked out this scheme as one of my possible color schemes but how do I know which color should go where? For someone who is seasoned in doing so it may be obvious but is there a formula or method that can be followed in implementing a color scheme?
EDIT: Also, once I've chosen my color scheme which usually seems to consist of 5 colors - can I, or am I expected to, implement different shades of those colors if required? Or does this decrease the integrity of the scheme?
It's issues like this that leave me confused about color scheme implementation.

I'm trying to create a line drawing of my friend Steve, I was Steve's best man at the wedding where the photo was taken. I like the shot because the smile it subtle but definitely there.
I've been tweaking the image below in illustrator for at least 2 hours and Steve still doesn't look that happy.
What is it about the image that I've got wrong, Eyes and mouth are pretty much exactly as the original. Any help is much appreciated.
Version 2 - Incorporating answers so far
Been away and had another crack, Steve looks cooler now but still not exactly delighted to be there. It's an improvement. As many of you said "it's all in the eyes" and while they are still not perfect they are much better. Feedback welcome.

I recall reading an article prior to CS6 releasing that Photoshop (or perhaps another CS6 product?) would include a feature that would allow taking a stereographic photo of an object, and then detect the foreground object from the background, thus allowing clean extraction of a photographed object from the background.
I don't own CS6 yet, but I can't for the life of me find this article again. Does this feature exist in CS6, and if so, what is it called?

I need advice on creating a personal logo. I am stuck.
I have done one professional logo for a friend before, It was for a trust, the logo came out well because I know what the logo represented very clearly... not that I don't know about myself, but I can't seem to think of anything to represent me the way I could for that trust
I am not asking you to suggest a logo for me (since I will be figuring that out myself), what I need to know is how you guys go about it, a personal logo?
Things it should(n't) represent
Logo ≠ My name (Any alphabets/word, I am not good at typography)
Logo ≈ Image (Something I may hand draw and trace-out)
Logo ≠ Brand ( I am not a graphic designer by profession, hence I don't need it for business)
Logo ≠ Hobby ( Camera as my logo? Nope! )
So what other things a logo can represent about a person?

I really want to know that this style is called. You see it often, also on clothing. I would like to create something like it in my own name. But before I can actually look for tutorials, I think I need to know what it's called.

today I'm looking for some advice from folks who have laid out event programs.
In this case, the client (a local nonprofit) has a famous keynote speaker at their event, and have solicited donations from local businesses. Each donation over a certain level = a full page ad in the program for the event. Most of them are "Congratulations to on your anniversary", etc. with a company logo sitting somewhere (the businesses that send in their own camera-ready artwork will just have them dropped into place).
I'm going to be laying each ad out in a template so they look consistent; my question to the GD crowd is, "Should I lay the template out in Illustrator and bring each ad individually in to InDesign or should I create a template page for an ad in InDesign and lay each ad out in InDesign?"
Based on your experience, what are the pros and cons of each approach? Obviously it would be easier to lay each ad out in Illustrator (that's what it's there for) but I lose a certain amount of flexibility once I hit InDesign (the program will ultimately be laid out in InDesign).

Ok, I want to make a video for a wedding, to be played on a stadium scoreboard. The scoreboard's dimensions are 1280 x 424. I was told to make my images this size and make a DVD in either .wmv or .mov.
My issue
How do I make the pictures that I have made with Illustrator, and make a video with them? Can I make the video's dimensions fit the scoreboard?
FYI, I have been using illustrator for 2 years, but nothing in this capacity.

I'm not a designer but I need some PS usage for creating my android app. I have about 100 .png pictures and I need to do the same procedure with all of them: cut off 50px from the bottom and from the top of each picture. That would be a huge waste of time to do it manually so is there any way to automatize this action? Any macros or scripts..? Thanks

Flat design has become extremely popular since the release of Windows 8, but I cannot find as many examples of it on the desktop as I do on the web and mobile apps. By desktop examples I mean Windows 7/Vista/XP visual styles, Gtk/QT themes and Linux desktops. I don't think there are as many applications which use principles of flat design either.
Is there any reason, maybe even UX-wise, for the unpopularity of flat design on the desktop?

I'm talking about screenshots like these:
These images appear completely non-pixelated and in high resolution. The first one is a a vanilla, operating-system level menu bar in Mac OS, and the second one is in Blender, which does all its own menus.
Is there a trick to getting screenshots like this?

Is there a tool (preferably online) that can generate lorem ipsum like text which looks like one or more of those languages?

I have multiple paths (not intersecting), each one of them consists of two anchor points only. Imagine a path from A to B and the second one from C to D. What I want to do is to select the space ABCD. I tried using Direct Selection Tool, but it can select anchor points from one currently highlighted path only. So, how can I select this space?
EDIT: Ok, a simple example would be:
Path AB:
Path CD:
Final selection (more or less like this):

I know from high-rank journals such as Nature that they redesign figures they get from authors. These plots look highly professional, but too complicated to be done with Adobe Illustrator et al.
Which tools are used by publishers to generate high quality figures?

I am using Paint to draw some swords for a character I have. I am not very experienced and this is my first time trying to draw swords.
My question is how large (Preferably in pixels) do I need to make the picture to make the curves on the sword to look smooth. I am using current scale of 100 pixels = an inch. For the first sword I made this worked fine as there were few curves and they were small but the one I am working on now have a larger curve. (A good reference is Ichigo's shikai.)
EDIT: I only have access to paint. I would use other programs if I could.

I have imported a set of PNG'S as layers by calling FILE > OPEN AS LAYERS
And I get the result:
All the layers are oddly cascaded on top of each other
So when I got to export it, I get this:
What I want is to get each frame showing by themselves, what am I missing?
Can anyone help me with a solution?
Thanks in advance.

I have been given a small web project for an ecommerce store. The logo uses Bauhaus 93 and I am struggling to find good fonts to pair with this.
Image borrowed from Identifont
Particularly I would prefer to only use Bauhaus for the logo and another 1-2 fonts for headings and body text.
Can anyone recommend some nice fonts to match Bauhau 93?

I am trying to create some PowerPoint templates for work and need to know what size images to use for the templates so they will look good on the screen. I tried making one with images that are 1024 x 768 pixels and when I view it on a large screen it looks awful.
I have searched and can't find any real clear guidelines for this.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

When I have a large smart object, and then shrink it down, I often get some extreme sharpening. And while I understand that shrinking down an image may require some sharpening, photoshop can go a little overboard.
Here, for example, is a large 1:1 smart object on the right and the result when shrunk down on the left.
It also happens in Save For Web output:
How can I control this sharpening and still maintain the Smart Object link?

I am new to Photoshop. I have a Photoshop template with 3 text layers.
How to create a batch job for:
creating .psd files by image name (each line has a unique name in CSV file) with Photoshop ?
Then I want to replace three text layers with my text in CSV
Finally I want to import jpeg images (that is in a folder) in each newly created .psd file. Each .psd file and image names in JPEG should matches.
Below is the example of my CSV file:
psdfile1, Image1, textlayer1, text layer2, text layerA
psdfile2, Image2, textlayer1, text layer2, text layerB
psdfile3, Image3, textlayer1, text layer2, text layerC
psdfile4, Image4, textlayer1, text layer2, text layerD
psdfile5, Image5, textlayer1, text layer2, text layerE
How can I create such a batch job, creating .psd files by image name (each line has a unique name in CSV file) usung Photoshop?

I recently created some graphics with Adobe Illustrator, saved them as PDFs and sent them to a printing company for a quote for part embroidery, part screen print on clothing.
The quote came back with an additional fee for the file to be sent off to someone else, to be prepared for embroidery.
What needs to be done to a vector graphic for it to be embroidered on clothes?
Is it a different software? Is it possible to prepare it in Illustrator, or another Adobe CS5 software to avoid the fee?

I have read some articles about web design, all of them recommend to choose a color palette first. I know colors are most important thing for professional web look. COLOURlovers, a web for color palettes. It has thousands of color palettes. I am beginner to web designing so, I don't know how to properly use palettes. Working with one and ending up with ugly colors on screen. Is there any technique to properly use color palettes? Which color should be used for links, for background, for header, for footer e.t.c out of given palette colors.

This is a little hard to explain, so bear with me. I'm wanting to save out a series of diagram images in a sprite sheet for a website. Right now, I have it so that I have a white image with "holes" cut into it that make the diagram. I put a background behind that image and it colors the "holes."
The problem is, the parts not colored are white, and this sometimes looks bad if the sprite sheet goes against a non-white background (so it's a white box with a colored diagram on it).
Is there a way to save an image so that the white part could be transparent (or any color), but maintain the ability to also customize the diagram color?
I'm not sure this is possible, since the only way I can think of requires layers (which can't be saved for the web) but I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!

I'm making a map in Gimp. I want to have the following layers:
background
cities
rivers
mountains
So I want, say, 30 cities on one layer so that I can turn it off and on. However, every time I create a new text item, it creates a new layer.
How can I put numerous text items on one layer?

I am looking to set up a single .psd file I can use for my iPhone splash screens, the main document at 640x1136 and a "guide layer" at 640x960 that I can use to generate the slightly smaller splash screen from the same image file.
What's the best way to create this "guide" layer? It obviously needs to persist across crops so I can use it again and again.

I have an Illustrator file that contains patterns. I'd like to export each pattern as an individual image to use in this new program that I'm trying called Sketch. Is there a batch processing script that exports layers as PNG or SVG? I'd like to have each geometric pattern available as a PNG, not as one large file.
Any thoughts?

I wonder how brush marks are applied to images. For example, there are some good marks on the sun graphic below. Are they textural, or do they require some special painting tricks? Any keyword that directs me to true path or link will be appreciated. I'm looking to accomplish this with GIMP.
By the way, they seems like brush marks to me but they may be friction marks, sword marks, bear claw, etc. What are they really?

This question is a follow-up of should I look into different graphic design softwares
I am starting to use Inkscape now, like many have suggested in that post.
How do I practice it?
I mean in GIMP I just started designing right away and learned along the way, But still I feel like I don't use ALL the features of GIMP properly, I was hoping to avoid the same situation in Inkscape. Is there anyway to practice properly like first practice drawing all the geometrical shapes, then shading... like that? Thanks.

I have created three paragraph styles: "Título" as a first-level category, "SubTítulo" as the second-level category and "SubSubTítulo" as the third-level category.
"SubTítulo" is based on "Título", and "SubSubTítulo" is based on "SubTítulo". They all belong to a list called "Títulos".
While the second-level category works fine, the third-level one interprets the second-level category as non-existant I think.
Here's a screenshot of the problem:
And the third-level category configuration:
I want my list to look like:
Documentación
2.1 Conceptos básicos
2.1.1 Composición
2.1.2 Aplicación en el cómic
Instead of:
Documentación
2.1 Conceptos básicos
2.0.1 Composición
2.0.2 Aplicación en el cómic
Thanks in advance.

I've been trying to figure out the name of this portfolio style. Is it as simple as Staggered?
I'm attempting to do something similar, but I have no idea what the style is called. I've searched for staggered, but no satisfactory results.

I have created a rectangle and on that rectangle I masked it. Now I wanted to pick up color with brush tool pressing Alt+Click but it is not picking the exact color. It only picks up black or white color. It seems staying at masked layer it picks up only black and white color.

I am a web developer working at a company where the front end framework we have selected is Angular JS. I am now in the position where I am the 'resident expert' whatever that means. I have been tasked with teaching/explaining everything that our designers need to know about Angular JS. Therefore I have the following question:
What, if anything would a designer need to know about a front end JavaScript framework in general/Angular JS in particular in order to streamline their productivity? What kind of things are irrelevant? What kind of things are important?
