>Can somebody photoshop X? Can somebody make me a logo?
All requests for photoshopping belong on /wsr/ - Worksafe Requests or /r/ - Adult Requests. /gd/ doesn't take requests or do free or even paid work sometimes. However, if you're new at something, asking "HOW can I X?" rather than "CAN YOU make X?" will give you better results.

>Can I post some of my work for critique?
There is usally a critique/What-Are-You-Working-On thread, and that is where work for critique go.

>Can somebody find [font]?
http://www.mediafire.com/download/027xjs3ujvyqxmd/Fonts.zip
also check out your local torrent site or the font-share thread.
Remember to share and not just take. Also remember that using liscensed fonts in commercial works is a bad idea.

Then you should know that at the current year of 2023 graphic design is pretty much dead. I was a professional gd for almost 10 years working in both studios and on my own and I can't really find a job anymore. It's not even because of AI to be honest, its because of how the industry works and how bad the corporate environment has become.

There's still web design, 3D and VFX/motion design(primarily 3D too) and if you want something similar or easy to transition then chose one of those but I'm not sure for how long they will be relevant themselves because of the AI which is basically a final nail in the coffin of gd. Of course there are and will be exceptions and maybe you will get lucky to find some obscure local business that needs you, but if you are young and looking for a career in the future you should stop consider becoming a graphic designer. This profession is dead.

Not sure if this belongs here but since it's regarding photo manipulation (which counts as graphic design) I might as well try.
So I like this genre of edits of women called "Natural/Modular Body Magic", which basically means that they look like they either had their heads magically removed or that they never had any at all but they can live just fine without them (like dullahans), but many of them are pretty shit so I wanted to make some good ones of my own, the problem is that there are no good tutorials online on how to make them, so I was wondering if you guys could guide me on how to make them.
Pic related is more or less what I want to achieve, something that looks relatively natural and organic, rather than just a quick and sloppy MS paint job.

See if you can help me out since I’m pretty much desperate at this point. I’m trying to finish a lewd comic book, just erotic stuff and a couple of explicit scenes, but it’s not the main point of the story. I kinda want to play around with AI images to get inspiration with poses but I’ve tried a few apps and none of them allow explicit content. Is there any tool that allows explicit prompts and shows naked dudes/girls? Don’t really care if it’s free or not

You're right, there's never been any job in the history of using language where someone paid a specialist to put strings of words together in a way that suited a particular purpose, because they themselves can do that just as easily.

People who commission art and design work usually can't even begin to articulate what they want even with the full attention of live artists and other professionals in multiple meetings held for the express purpose of figuring out WTF they want from their vague and retarded ramblings.

If anything g, that's one of the most valuable aspects of AI: you can type in that asshole's exact words to prove that his explanations and visions are stupid and that it's not the fault of the artist trying to work with him when stuff made to his exact orders makes no fucking sense and looks like shit. I would have killed to have that ability back when I did this kind of meeting all the time, "Here, Mr. "JUST GIVE ME_________", type that shit into the computer that can ONLY do what you tell it to and see what you get".

When creating the mask, be aware that everything that is black will become transparent, and everything that is white will become visible, so, open the mask using Alt + Click and press Ctrl + I to invert the mask's colors;

Always test, live by workarounds.

I'm fucking around with some UV maps and need painting advice. The only real tool at my disposal is Gimp, but I have some photoshop experience.

For the face I would use the clone/copy whatever it's called tool, the one where you hold the key in one area and it transfers it to another.For the hands and feet I would do that on another layer with a spot from the chest and burn/dodge as appropriate.

Nowadays, the only thing Premiere has over Davinci right now is the AI shit and communication with After, which is very useful, but Davinci is so good, is Premiere only so hegemonic because it's adobe?

Fusion is a 1000x better at compositing, AE is 20% better than Fusion at doing motion graphics.
Learning Resolve + Fusion is the better time investment unless you want to be an Adobe slave forever. Resolve and Fusion are bound to surpass AE and Pr in every way (already the case for Pr, literally abandonware at this point)

I've always pirated Premiere. I'm too good at it to swap to DaVinci without it being not only painful but money loss. I really wish I had a free year and a half to get as good in it as I am with Premiere.

Also, is there a torrent for the most recent Premiere with all the TTS and AI modules? It took a while for the TTS modules to show up and the only thing stopping me to pay for a subscription is my despise for Adobe as a corporation

As far as I know, proper coloring, proper audio engineering and instant multicamera. It can cut a day or two from a workweek, but I don't care because I'm never tasked nor paid to do it more than the basics. If they can do cutting I'm buying tomorrow, no matter how much hypocrisy it will show, I'd rather have more money and get a week's work done in a single day, I'll even charge extra for the "coloring" and "audio engineering"
>>
>>453907
Low IQ too stupid to use other programs.
Thinking a hobby grade editor has a chance against Resolve.
We understand that you are decent with adobe pr ae. But seething because of a superior program BTFOs what you use. Adobe hasn't made any improvements since 2016. But that's a you problem not being able to switch.
