In Inkscape, you can easily duplicate objects with CTRL+D, but each copy is separate from each other. Inspired by the class concept in object-oriented programming, is there an easy integrated way to create blueprints of objects in inkscape, where changes to the blueprint will automatically be transmitted to every insta...
How do I create a map where I can highlight or toggle certain categories or features (Malls, major roads etc.) Needs: Export to vector Re-edit (lines and shapes) ADD: I have Illustrator. The map will be a 2x2 meter print. Thank you! Tried Snazzymaps - Great color customizability. But no vector export.
I recently read two articles about the "system font stack" [1] [2]. Briefly, this is a list of font families designed to pick the system font on the reader's device. So the same page appears to use Apple defaults on an Mac, Windows defaults on a PC, and so on. But generic font families serif and sans-serif already exis...
Having this PSD file with a layer named "YOUR DESIGN \| 5 x 7", what would be the GIMP command (in Linux) to insert a picture there and produce the final graphic file (JPEG, PNG) that includes it?
I have been trying to create a similar type logo to this one (Hyper3D): I’ve followed a few examples online, but my best result so far has a lot of room for improvement. This is my best attempt as of now (Dark Phoenix): Please disregard the curved lines pattern, as it should be vertical lines - I was following an onl...
I'm a game developer not a graphic artist, so I'm not very good at any of this stuff, anyway, in my most recent project I have created a custom shader using a "glint" texture for some of the UI: At the moment it works fine, however, the texture I used has faded (circular) edges, and therefore you get patches where no ...
How do I remove my upper and bottom borders without changing the shape of my path? When I try to do it with Node tool's Delete segment between two non-endpoint nodes, it messed up the path.
I placed in an Adobe Illustrator AI object I made into an Adobe InDesign document. When I scale the whole image, the AI object doesn't scale with everything else. Any ideas?
I'm trying to wrap a pattern brush I made in Illustrator around this tire so that it looks convincing. It's the Goodyear logo, but I'm having trouble making it look like the Cooper Cobra logo. I was able to use the pattern brush to get this far But am having trouble beyond that. My envelope distort skills aren't too ...
I recently found this dot pattern. It seems like the dots' sizes are at random but it still claims to be seamless. I believe it was done by some sort of halftone effect on a gradient or something? I am a ux designer and have limited skills in photoshop or affinity photo/designer. I would love to have some suggestions ...
I'm on an old Mac running Mojave and Illustrator 25.4.1 I have 586 AI Files that all need to have these two changes in all the files with an Action: Delete two text objects in a layer (Named "Card Type") that were somehow duplicated from another layer (called "Copyright"). There are three text objects and I need to de...
I need to centrally align a logotype to packaging, but I do not want the (C) to be aligned, but I want it still to be grouped as it will be used on various sizes of packaging and I do not want to adjust manually each time as it needs to be consistent. I've tried a rectangle and keying it to that, but that doesn't help ...
This is a problem I often face and it feels like there should be a trivial solution to it, but I can't figure it out (it probably doesn't help that I'm not a graphics designer either). Step 1: Take a picture of a printed page. Typically some worksheet for school. Possibly badly photographed by another parent and sent t...
I would like to restore the original color from a blended RGB color, using a known RGB color. How can I find it?
Free font could be 'et-book-bold-line-figures.ttf' (https://github.com/edwardtufte/et-book/tree/gh-pages/et-book/et-book-bold-line-figures). I know in Inkscape how to duplicate a text, move it, make a path-difference and recolour it. But this seems to be more complicated.
I am not sure if this is the right forum to ask questions about inkscape crashed. (See below about why I am not asking on the inkscape.org forum). I've upgraded my Mac with an M1 chip to Ventura. I've installed Inkscape 1.2 via a package from Inkscape.org and through macports. Both crash after showing an initial welco...

In relation to this answer on Skeptics, how are the kerning pairs of contemporary reproductions/versions of metal type derived? Can one expect, say, Times New Roman in a computer typeface (by Monotype themselves) to match the kerning details of some Monotype metal type of Times New Roman? Or, was there no way in the 19...

What i'm trying to achieve are 3D stars like on the picture below. Essentially to draw a star similar to inflated balloon star, but with sharp edges. I'm pretty new to Adobe Illustrator, but my thought process is to just create separate paths for each face of the star and then color them one by one. If there are bette...
I took a picture with my phone device and it is a jpg image that weighs about 8 MB. I believe that compressing it will greatly reduce the file size. I can't compress it in tinyPNG because it's more than 5 MB but I was able to compress it with iloveimg.com and reduce file size from 8 MB to about 1.2 MB. Anyway, I would ...

I am currently trying to turn a 35x75 pixel animated gif into a 75x75 animated gif while preserving the aspect ratio - in other words, I want to add 20 pixels of empty space on either side of the gif.

Pretty new to Illustrator, so I've been working on some graphics for quite a while and when I tried exporting it as SVG, to my surprise some parts of the artworks look blurry and pixelated.

I use Inkscape to create illustration for a "scientific paper". In this example I have 9 pictures in one illustration and I now want to add a small annotation (A-I) to each picture in the top left corner. Is there a better way to do this than creating a new text box, writing the letter and then using the align feature ...
Note: The answer does not have to involve Fiery Impose. I am only looking for a way to setup double-sided 4x3 badges for printing.

I am trying to create a map of a building in GIMP . The building is color coded by section with 30% opacity, and the space between the colors is currently white because that is the color of the base image that everything is being built onto.

Strange things are happening in the sharper bends of lines drawn with the calligraphy tool (see the locations indicated by the arrows).

When communicate with people over a drawing I often like to mark it up to show where areas of interest are. The instinctive choice for color in the situation tends to be red, because red is often visually catching (i.e., markup with red pen).

I created several concentric circles and I want to cut them in pieces where the radial lines pass as if was a pizza (leaving an empty space with the width of the line).

I am working on layouts for a project. When I type in captions for photos, there is a text frame around the captions and it won't let me "snuggle" the caption directly under the photo.

Are there standard sheet sizes for bleeds? My small printer can print slightly larger than A4, which would allow me to print things with bleeds and trim them—if only I could find paper that were A4 plus 3 mm around the edges.

When I add a text to my image in GIMP, it shows up with a transparent background (which I want). However when I convert the default GIMP file from xcf to a jpg, the text suddenly has a white background, which I don't want. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Images attached.
Given a small number n, What is the most distinguishable n-color combination ? For example, below is my personal choice upto 4 : n = 2 : black, white n = 3 : black, white, red n = 4 : black, white, red, green n = 5 : ..? There may be concrete theory related with optical perception or computer graphics.. or empirical su...
Is there a way to achieve with GIMP to have two resolutions in one file? Say that I want a small area (filled rectangle below) inside a less sharp file. By this I mean, if I zoom really into the maroon part of the file below, I hardly start seeing pixels while if I do so on the white part I do.

I see some professional printers asking for documents using CMYK instead of RGB. But I don't understand how it is better than RGB with an appropriate ICC color profile. Indeed, if my understanding is correct, the ICC color profile of the picture matches a RGB coordinate to an absolute color representation in XYZ or Cie...
