Hey anons, I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong thread but I really want to have your advices. So I have a friend who wants to be in an art college and I want to help them in every way possible but I don't really know anything about art. The test they will be taking involving some kind of "color decorating", which is the kind of art that I've attached a picture for you guys to see. So my question is what kind of art is this really (so that I can search up tips for them) and if you guys are artists, can you let me know what's wrong with this painting? Also, they want to ask you guys about tips on how to "make the main subject of the painting stands out from the background". Thanks for reading this and I hope that you guys will have a great day.

theres websites that have font detectors. whatthefont.com or whatever. sometimes they dont work, esp with weird fonts or complex images. worth a shot tho

Is there a program out there (preferably free) which turns photos into pictures that look hand drawn, cartoony, artsy or something similar?
Would help me alot with a project im working with right now.
Id like to add that im new to the hobby, I wouldnt even call myself a beginner.
A program easy to use and not super complex would be great.

There's tons of photo editors that have filter capabilities that render photos as if they'd been created using different types of artistic mediums, most of them in fact.
Whether it looks accurate or even good is another thing entirely, and the quality and properties of the source photo make a big difference...like if you want a black and white "cartoon" line drawing look you need a high contrast image to start with.
In my experience certain ones do better for certain things and may be nearly useless otherwise.
For example, Prisma Art Effect Photo Editor does really nice pen and ink and etching style renderings without much trouble but most of the other filters are ugly.
Picrel is a photo of a TV screen run through it, another thing to consider is that while it looks almost like a coloring book page, if you need the perfectly defined closed line strokes of a coloring book you'd have to do some touching up; those kinds of filters just give an *impression* of a line drawing or oil painting or etching or whatever.

any more info to provide?
what does she like? what does her flat/room/house look like? how much work are you planning on spending?

Is anyone familiar with creating designs for a cutter/plotter/etching machine? I have recently got a Silhouette Cameo 4 and would like to use it not just for the more common purposes (vinyl stickers and paper art) but also to precision cut leather and thin wood for scale diorama items. It uses SVG files, so I guess what I'm asking is what software works well for a relative beginner to create new designs and/or import existing designs in other file types to convert and smooth them? The included software is only really useful for existing SVG files and the tutorials I can find online are basic and mostly for Pinterest moms making boss babe stickers for their giant coffee cups.

>>444147

>>445073
uh, maybe her name and not the indicator of her familiar relationship to you?

>>445103
That looks like another anon doing a mockup and using niece as a placeholder for a name.

>>445071
Have a look at some fancy model tugboats maybe for placement of an anchor and rigging and typical paint styles. Paint framing around the windows to make them stand out. Use her name for the ship's name, and put the date she got licensed as the registration number (? I dunno if thats what its called for boats but same idea).

>>445120
Also for the love of god sand it a bit first

>>445073
Hello! Thanks for the mockup!!
She likes the same things girls her age do (22) : taking pictures, Rick and morty, Netflix... I think that's all, really
Her bedroom is white, with mauve curtains and a bunch of pictures and posters (black Rick and morty and one piece ones) on her walls, and pictures surrounding her mirror. She's also got some kind of red closet. I've got another special gift for her so I don't plan to spend that much for this specific wood boat project. I've thought of buying varnish give a solid look to the boat.

>>445103
It wasn't me. Just a kind anon giving his piece of mind.

>>445120

hrmm. not much for me to work with there.
I don't know to what extend incorporate these exact specifics into the design...?

but here you go. maybe this idea sparks you inspiration? I wanted to indicate a rick and morty character design based on her. (lol this is the archetypical 22 year old to me it seems)
the text could say your and her name. or chick and boaty. or something 'stupid' like that. (I mean the show IS pretty ironic).

admittedly could be a terrible idea as well. depends on her and your kind of relationship I guess.
I certainly know people who would absolutely love something like that, but also those that would consider it cringe.

>>445132
I want to add that something like that would probably age worse than a more neutral (elegant?) approach - like the simple red one I uploaded earlier or the tug boat idea of that other anon. I think it would be cool if it were timeless enough to be kept forever in her boat or even living room.

ANON PLEASE HELP!!1

My shitty portfolio got me into the running for a graphics job and I'm overthinking this test they gave me:

>Please do a quick mock up of how you would lay out the design.
>The design should include the Boy Scouts logo attached
>Include the name “John Smith”
>Include the text “Troop- 123”
>This would be sublimated on a double sided mug
>Don’t take longer than ten minutes.

The last few years have been bad for me and I haven't designed much. I haven't worked in a graphics department for almost a decade and I'm not really sure what they're looking for and I'm afraid to ask because I know these instructions probably seem straightforward to them and being perceived as dithering and uncertain probably doesn't help my case.
I'm just not sure if their standards here are really low or not.
My first instinct was to simply put an arced John Smith over the logo and troop123 underneath the logo and duplicate it on both sides of the cup because it's personalized mug and the important thing is the personalization, but that's what anyone chump would do, right? I've already spent more than an hour and now I need to make it look like I've spent a lot less time than I have.
What would you do?

>>445553
Top left is fine. Just submit that. It's a test to see if you can do acceptable work in a short timeframe, that way they'll get more designs and money out of you. Pretty sure you are not going to be designing Coca-Colas next logo at this place, so just do the work as the brief is written, throw flare in the ocean and get paid.

>>445553
what anon said. you are doing fine. not much actual design work to be expected from such an assignment. they probably want to see your understanding for basic visual hierarchy and sufficient knowledge about the tools.
I like top left most as well.

Does the "difference" or "subtract" or "divide" layer mode in GIMP or another program act as a foolproof way to see differences in pixels between two layers?

I'm trying to determine if putting images in a CBZ/CBR file lossily compresses them, so what I did was take the original image, put it in gimp, then add the image to a CBZ, then open the CBZ and copy the image , then paste that as a seperate layer in gimp and set the layer modes.

Difference and subtract seemingly just shows a pitch black area of no differences, but if I use a color selection tool (even if I copy visible and paste beforehand so there's an actual layer showing what it said regardless of mode) the blacks seem slightly different and you can still see outlines of detail if you select by color with 0 threshold. If I set it to divide, then it's pure white, but some pixels are a clear bright green, yellow, read, etc

To me, this would imply the images AREN'T the same after put in a CBZ, but if I extract the image, it has the same checksum/hash as the original.

So will a difference/subtract/divide layer view option not actually show pure white/black even if two layers are the same?

What sort of computer specs do I need to edit/open photos that are tens of thousands of pixels wide/tall?

There's some gigapixel panoramas I want to download and fuck around with.

Will 64 gigabytes of RAM be enough? Are specific image editing programs better about handling very large images?

Is a 4K monitor worth +200USD, or is 1440p just fine?

>>446948
You will have to scale it and zoom in on websites anyway. 4k is really only for media consumption.

Is there a way to losslessly append/sitch together images?

Like I have a 20mb pdf, and in it there's an image split across 2 pages. If I extract the images from the PDF and combine them in gimp and save it as a ong, the image is 6mb, but clearly the images in the pdf do not take up that much space.

Is there a way to just combine/sitch them into one image without re-compressing them so the filsize stays small?

Obviously if I just assemble it and save it as a jpg in a image editing program conventially, that will do lossy compression and reduce image quality, which I don't want

>>445011
Hmmm. Assuming you flatten all layers and just do a copy-paste I would ASSUME you would end up with the same image pixel-for-pixel
You could also just post it to 4chan and then save the image once it’s here. I’m pretty sure 4ch scrubs all metadata

Never pay for your tools, brother. The world owes you them.

So I've developed a style I enjoy working with. I've been working on/with it since 2013 but never uploaded anything so far. I feel I might be able to use it commercially, I'd love to create a brand of my own or even just a few series of graphic design exercises. I've made hundreds of pieces so far.
However, I haven't studied GD apart from what my father taught me. He was in the trade for 40 years or so. All my takes and ideas are probably outdated, especially since I started ten years ago. Since then, glitch art and vaporwave have made rounds on the net and what I'm doing could probably be interpreted as being similar to those. One of my largest inspirations was superflat, but more the stated intention behind it than the style itself. My stuff looks like low-res digital graffiti, kinda. I've been keeping it up because it's enjoyable, relaxing and therapeutic to me. But lately I've been thinking these doodles might be appreciated somewhat by someone else.
I'm not sure how to get the ball rolling. Bring a portfolio to local galleries or design/copy studios?
Making an online thsirt store, is that a death sentence if you can't get outreach? Should I just post shit into a social algorithm like twitter and see if it catches any attention?

I use a method similar to yours and can confirm it's correct. If selection isn't pure pink/green then there're differences in the images.
>if putting images in a CBZ/CBR file lossily compresses them
It shouldn't. CBZ/CBR are essentially zip/rar archives, they were designed specifically to preserve files down to the last bit. My guess on possible differences would be
>take the original image, put it in gimp, >!!!< then add the image to a CBZ
importing/exporting image in GIMP, it often re-encodes the pixels so there are minor differences. Whether the quality improves or regresses is very debatable and depends on particular cases.

How to make an image "lighting neutral", so how do I remove lights and shadows?

---

Been using Photoshop Elements 10 for a decade for casual drawing, but only now have been learning its more technical features as I'm using the program for texturing 3D objects.

Noob question: what's the proper way to eliminate light and dark gradients from a photo, "neutralize" it in a way? For doing my texturing work I'd rather my image not have any light information as a base, I wanna add it myself later on.
Picrel is an image I took myself and trying to clean up for future texturing use.
The technique I used thus far involves me using Replace Color on the darker and lighter areas to match the color of the image that's the middle ground between them, but I got the feeling this is the wrong way of doing it. I mean it works, but I'm always looking for ways to get better results

I'm new to photoshop and /gd/. I want to make an egg into a rectangular prism while keeping its lighting/shadows, texture, color. I have no idea how difficult of a task this is. Any guidance would be appreciated.
