What Font is Used on This Packaging for the Text Reading "GUB"? Thanks!
I am relatively new to "Fonts". I assumed this was a Google thing. I think the idea of these font libraries is great! A naming convention like this that crosses the boundaries into other html attributes (color). And so the font styles pictured(circled) creates confusion. the naming could be more like media how media s...
As I discovered today, having your images to be 300 pixels per inch is not always a good thing for print. Epson printers, contrary to Canon and HP, have native resolution of 360 instead of 300, and so if you are going to print something using an Epson printer, most probably (it seems Epson changed their mind eventually...
1. First create a 12 x 9 inch Photoshop document with 360 pixels per inch and add horizontal and vertical lines after each 12 points. (Edit: 360 is simply what I use myself. You may test it with, for example, 300 instead, - there will be the same issue.) 2. Then select the Type tool, select 10-point Courier New and pu...
As you can see in these images of a game the background colors are less saturated and grayer: Do you think the designer reduced the transparency in the background or used grayer colors? regards, Saeed
I've got a path under a circular mask. It has a colour fill. When I try to simply remove the parts of the path outside the mask, the path is no longer closed, and I lose the fill. How to cut the path to the mask correctly? I aim to later divide it into smaller segments to modify them dynamically with CSS.

I reproduced the above image by typing it in Apple Chancery, and I get t...
For some reason Schilderwald doesn't work on my computer, and surprisingly I can't find ANY other font where characters look like a race track, road track etc. I tried keyword search and image identification, there is nothing except vectors.
I am a beginner, and normally use Font Forge and Inkscape to create fonts. But those tools do not support colour fonts yet.

I have the following image: I want to change the colors so that they match my own Xylophone. Since there are in-between colors at the borders, just selecting a color and filling the selected area with my target color is not viable because the in-between colors will stay unchanged.

I've finally got a new Mac (M1 Pro) and so I am now using the most recent version of PS. Hurrah.

When one exports a book file from InDesign to PDF (and maybe other formats) it is possible to get an error message, "Unresolved or out of date cross-references" followed by a list of documents with that problem. This problem doesn't show up in, with a pre-flight. Sometimes you can find the problematic cross-references...

I'm building my resume, and I would like to put years of experience in a section called "Skills", for example, React, PHP, JavaScript, etc. I'm not sure about using Stars / Dots / Progress bars (since I would never put 5/5 on something as I know there's always something I didn't know) and I would prefer to use "Up to ...
I'm trying to lay out a textbook. There are several cases where an image should be at the top of the page, before any text, like this: That one is not anchored, but needs to be so it'll stay put, and also so that it will be included with surrounding text in the ePub version. I've read this question and answer. The a...

I am very new to in-design. While working on a template that a more experienced (and now gone) user set up for me, suddenly I have an 'X' in the background on every page. How do I remove this? See screen shot.
Is there a way to let/make Photoshop 2020 glow specific/picked selected color in the image only? Like I know there is plenty of glow plugins or action files etc., but none of them - at least those I am aware of - can do this, that is to select very specific color and let it glow with specified intensity.

I'm trying to recreate an effect I've seen a few times where some text is placed over a background image, and the fill opacity over the background image is transparent but the fill of the rest of the text stays as normal.

I am struggling to find the actual way you're supposed to open this window/gui. I imported an image upon creating a new document on photoshop, but it only opened for one image (see picture). Is there any way to open this window in a more conventional and compatible way? Thanks in advance!
An example of a font like this: Note the non-contiguous "w" and irregularity in the outline of all the letters (particularly noticeable in the "o" and "p"). I assume the effect here is trying to emulate letter press techniques where the surface of the type isn't perfectly flat or imprecisely machined. I'm looking for ...
I'd like to draw over a photo in a new layer with the pen tool. When I do this, the path created has no colour. Do I need to use the Pixels option with the path tool?

I am trying to make a rotated dotted shape like in the picture. I already succeeded creating the dotted pattern using the blend tool or make a halftone pattern.

So, I want to print packaging for my product. The owner of the printing press picks the colors in the design, and each color costs $80. Does that mean that I will use only 3 or 4 colors in the design? Is the gradient counted as one color or several colors? If I add an image in the design, how much he will pick from the...
I was using the Free Select Tool in GIMP to plot points, and then I wanted to go back to a previous point to adjust it, but unfortunately I didn't perfectly hit the point to enable it to move, so it created another point. You can see it in the red encircled area that it attempted to draw the selection instead of draggi...
How can one replicate this style of drawing in Inkscape? In my attempts to implement this I've explored three approaches: (a) filling an object with a stripe pattern, (b) using the hatch path effect, and (c) a combination of the interpolate sub-paths + roughen path effects. You can see the results so far. Although the...

What are image formats that can store multiple image in a single file? (I don't mean image formats such as GIF or APNG, which can store multiple images as animation frames.

Im getting confused with my XD animation. What I want to do is make a tick bounce and have trees moving behind the truck rolling through creating the illusion of movement.

I draw a map in Inkscape.

This is a continuation of a question about how some points are not aligning. I am using the same tutorial as them, and I do not have snap-to-pixel on.

In the RGB color model, color values are represented in the 0-255 range. 0 is not a dummy value, so in the 0-255 range, there are 256 colors. When using HSL (or something similar), I'd expect 50% to correspond to rgb(127,127,127) because 50% of 256 colors is 128, and 128 corresponds to 127 in the 0-indexed 0-255 range....
