I'm going through existing InDesign documents that have tables within a rounded rectangle to give the table rounded corners. While doing an accessibility audit, the rectangle is getting flagged as an object that should be marked as an artifact. However, when marking the rectangle as an artifact, it seems to also mark t...
I'm currently developing a web app that uses very, very dark images as background. To prevent color banding, I'm adding some randomized noise to the images: Now, it's very easy to just overlay an image with noise and set the opacity to a low value, but that's not dithering, right? That's just film grain. If I understa...
I'm trying to resize a vector graphic QR code in Gimp but it always creates an additional color in it gray. I want it to be pure black and white with perfect corners like in the original image on the left. I tried opening the vector graphic (svg) with Inkscape and exporting a png at 200x200 px but I still get the same...
the image below was created from a clipping mask; is there a way to trim what is outside of the mask? I want to keep the paths separate and preserve their individual stroke colours. I have tried using the crop pathfinder option but this deletes everything and if i try to expand the image it converts the paths to shapes...
I am a layperson and want to develop a more solid foundation about the principles of graphic design. In consequence, I wanted to see which introductory books people with a more formal background in graphic design would recommend to get started. I know that a similar questions has already been asked here, but the respon...
I'm trying to get an InDesign script that works like this: "In the currently selected text, whenever a Paragraph Style B appears after a Paragraph Style A, change that Paragraph Style B to Paragraph Style C." If there's a way to do it with Find/Change, that would also work. AI was able to write a functional script that...
how do i keep the glyph size when copy/pasting one glyph from a font to another? anytime i do it the font when pasted is tiny in bounding box
What typeface would work well for display text, paired with body text in Times? The criteria are that it should be serifed; with similar contrast to Times itself, certainly no greater contrast; with perhaps a little more weight; and with similar length ascenders and descenders relative to x-height. I was thinking may...
When I try to use Gimp's perspective tool to change a the selection or image, even slightly, I get this: Transformation creates a very large item. Applying the transformation will result in an item that is over 25 times larger than the image. Why does this happen? Is it supposed to? How can I fix this, so it doesn't...
I'm running Gimp 2.10.34 I know how to use Gaussian blur on images, but is there a non-destructive way to fade out or into a Gaussian blur, similar to using the gradient tool over a white layer mask? I want the bottom of my image to remain sharp, and as you begin to look up, it shows more and more of the Gaussian blur....
I have a QR code in jpg format with low quality and I need to convert it to SVG with perfect squares. I tried Trace Bitmap with Inkscape using Edge detection and all the other options, but I can't find the right mix of settings to get perfect squares result. Is this even possible?
There is a layer with fully-white, 255 alpha, no mask, 100% opacity and 100% fill, and yet, the transparent grid shows through: It is faint, but it's confirmed to be there: I captured it with Win+Shift+S, pasted and levelled the image until they show clearly. It is the transparency checker pattern. I've also confirmed...
Suppose you have a .jpg photo such as this apple: (.jpg 24KB) You use GIMP to add an alpha channel and remove the white background. As .jpg does not support transparency (see this question), you have to export as a .png file (90KB). The photo is meant to be used on a webpage or in a (LaTeX) document, and you do no...
I found this neat way to round corners in Photoshop: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/a/2772/182037 Basically, you apply a gaussian blur to the image and then sharpen it. I like this method because it results in organic curves, it is simple to do, and the effect is subtle. I actually prefer to not have perfectly...
I created an Action JSON file which I use with the Photoshop API and send to this endpoint: https://image.adobe.io/pie/psdService/actionJSON However this object does not do anything (doesn't work): { _obj: "javaScriptOptionsClass", height: { _unit: "pixelsUnit", _value: 1440.0 }, limit: false, message: "Fit...
This is my logo, which usually also has the company name below it: It is mostly used on either a white or a purple background. I’d like to use the logo on some clothing, like purple t-shirts, but the colours of his cape blend together with the colour of the physical t-shirt. Similarly, when the logo is used on a white...
I'm trying to add a textual tattoo to an image in Illustrator, and would like the lighten the text based on the skin color in the image as shown in the image below from a Photoshop tutorial to account for the way the tattoo reflects the light. Is there a way to do something similar in Illustrator?
I've ran the design through multiple font identifying websites and adobe font, but because of the circle design, none can identify it. I'm looking for the font that borders this image.
Sorry, I'm not a font expert but I saw on Wikipedia a font I'd really like to use. I'm confused because I saw the name ‘humanist’ at the left but I discovered that it's a family; there isn't such font name. Does anyone know how is called the font of the picture? If it's useful, here is the article from where I found th...

I have an object layer to which I want to add a realistic shadow. I found a tutorial on youtube (https://youtu.be/5TuhBcN9k8w) and am following it to create the shadow. I have created a dropshadow, turned it into a layer, flipped in vertically and skew it to the right angle. So far no issues. In the next step I'm suppo...
I'm importing a PSD file into Illustrator and I've noticed there's sort of a "clipping shape" the size of the artboard mixed with the shapes that happen to be "out of bounds" (in this case, the circle): When I move the shape, it's clear that it's being clipped to that artboard-sized rectangle. I can't seem to figure ...
I'm trying to create a PDF document with clickable hyperlinks using Abode Illustrator 2023, however I've noticed a weird issue - if the URL contains the characters "fi" they will be replaced by "%251F" in the URL the computer tries to open if you click on it and will completely not display the "fi" characters in the ye...
Using a plain-text editor, preferably, or Inkscape, are there any good tutorials on taking two letters and inserting more letters between them, and animating it so that the two letters expand outward like an accordion, as the middle fills in?
Edit: I did not want to conflate the question with unnecessary details, but from the extended comments, it seems some additional info is in order. I would like to create a path that ultimately can be transformed into 3D-printable surface. Inspired by this paper, I am interested in making functional materials. In the pa...

I grabbed a fun little neon palette from Paletton (below), and I want to try editing a photo (that I've reduced to a 256-color indexed colormap) to be in the neon palette. I'd like to get more nuanced in the 15-color palette from Paletton, ideally up to 256 colors. Is there a good method for generating a more nuanced p...
I scanned a book into a pdf, but the room light I used to illuminate the pages caused the scans to have a washed out effect The black text at the top of the page is light in the scans. The lack of contrast makes it hard to read. The scans include color. With the Adobe 2024 Creative Cloud tools (photoshop, illustrator, ...

I am trying to figure out how one can select an area and get a grayscale as a result. But I don't even know what to do with the grayscale. I have created a simple gradient, to create an example for this question. And I want to turn it into this gradient. This would be straight forward, you'd just swap the red channel...

I made an svg graph using R (ggplot2) and it displays fine in Firefox. I then edited it in Inkscape to improve the legend. In order to do this, I had to ungroup a group that contained both the legend and the axis lines. This is what the graph looks like in Inkscape (data removed for confidentiality) However, when I sa...

I tried using photoshop's "Color Range","Make Work Path", and "New Fill layer" tools to make a a shape layer that accurately recreae this vector image I want to recreate.

The Shapebuilder tool always gives me quite a few duplicate paths stacked on top of each other, which can sometimes cause problems when using other tools later and selecting the paths thinking I’m only selecting one path (the one on top). I often have to delete the duplicates manually and it’s very tedious. How can I a...
Although I saw this question and followed the process step-by-step, I have trouble setting the default color of fill/stroke.

I don't understand: Using Adobe color wheel, the complementary of yellow (#ffff00) is purple (#7D00FF). Using Material Design, the complementary is blue(#0000ff). I understood that it depended on the color model used (RYB or RGB), but I read articles which say that we rather use the RGB wheel for digital interfaces, ...
I need to build an algorithm that will automatically interpolate a variable font in the layout based on the positions of the characters in space.

Let's say that I have a 16-bit photo and want to edit it using Photoshop. 8-bit graphics can display 256 colours per channel and 16-bit graphics can display 65,536 colours per channel, a significant difference. So does this mean that a 16-bit picture can display a colour that does not exist in a 8-bit picture? What wi...
I know the title is sort of confusing but I really don't know how to describe it better. I will first visualize what I want to achieve, because it becomes really clear then.

Is there a way to clip a layer style to the layer below it, just like you can clip an adjustment layer to the layer below it? thanks. Layer one has a bottle image (with alpha transparency, so it's just the bottle, no background) and layer two has the cap (also with alpha transparency). When I apply a drop shadow layer ...
I've recently learnt about threading text as frames and started using it - but when would it be better than a text column or table? I understand you'd use columns for something like newspaper paragraphs, but threading text for adverts? I've been creating test files to learn and understand this from tutorials online. Wh...
I am not a graphic desginer but I have a colorful image which I use in HTML as a background image, to which I want to add an overlay in GIMP.

The text of the book is one long run a...
A sketched example of what I'd like to achieve:
With InkScape, it's rather easy by using "Path Effects" of "Rotate copies": Result: Now, I wish some of these ticks to be thicker and shorter (at mins 5, 10, 15...). So, I can obviously create a new path and apply the same "Rotate copies" with only 12 copies: As these new ones are shorter, I will also have to remove...
I’ve read several articles that recommend converting all photo color profiles from ProPhoto RGB to sRGB for the web, but these articles are several years old. Now that JPG, PNG, and WebP formats all support embedding an ICC Profile with ProPhoto RGB, is downgrading to sRGB for web applications still recommended?
An older 90s mac paint program implemented a black-and-white image scaling algorithm that for lack of a more precise description, "preferred the black pixels" over the white. A consequence of this is that if you were to shrink a drawing too small, it inevitably turned into a black blob. It was nice because it preserved...
I have these two images - the same shot - but one is slightly darker than the other: How do I match the lighting/colours in the image below so it matches the lighter image above in GIMP?
I want to select by colour but I only want to select one 'island of colour', not all pixels of the chosen colour. For example, in the image below, how would I select-by-colour: only the red colour island (area) labeled "A", or only the white area labeled "4"?
I am recently updating my portfolio content to explore new design job positions, but I feel like doing 20+ pages of my work in a .pdf will probably end up not being seen as I have to compete against 500-1000 applicants for the same job.

Not sure of the legal way of wording this; but here is my best guess. Wondering if design wise if these two fonts are different enough from each other as not to violate copyright law in the sense of the actual designs and differences between them.
I drew a straight line with "Bezier"-tool, and wish to make it arc, just like a slice of a circle: Note: red is the circle's arc, and I wish to make the straight line the same. (Line is not straight anymore, as I already tried to make it 'arc'). How can I do that?

I prepared a logo, grouped the entire thing, and then I tried to align it to the artboard. Problem is each time I align the group one of the the text layers shifts its position.

My first post here...In Inkscape, I'm trying to do a fill on a couple numbers, the number '86' to be exact. I'm having a problem filling the letter with two different colors.

I am preparing a website to look good in dark mode. Some pages have a ton of partner logos that look very bad when in dark mode because they have black text for example.
