I'd like the gradient to have more depth like the red  graphic has

I have seen such an effect being used in many places however I haven't figured out how to replicate it via Photoshop.  I have tried desaturating the image, placing it under a layer of solid colour and then lowering the opacity of the colour. I have also tried a couple of blend modes, to no avail. The effect is nowhere near the same.  Can someone please tell me the effect used on these images?

I would like to to create the image above. I have tried to make multiples layers of the waves and edit it's opacity but it does not seem to work. I would really appreciate some feedback and guidance. Thank you.

I recently noticed that the red background highlight behind deleted posts is now a much lighter shade of red than it used to be in the past.  While I'm generally in favor of having higher contrast ratios for text across SE, I think this crosses the line a bit. The previous background was readable to me and didn't pose any contrast ratio issues to me. On the other hand, the new color is less visible than the old one and difficult to see on monitors with higher contrast settings. In other words, the contrast ratio between the red background and the white surroundings is too low.  As a test to see the magnitude of this issue, I tried raising my display contrast. By default, it's set to 20%, but setting it to 40% made it barely visible unless I really squinted at it, and setting it to 50% made it just about invisible. Some users may turn up their monitor's contrast to a higher level to better read text on screen, but this change makes it more difficult for those users who engage in moderation to identify deleted posts, especially if they've scrolled down.  Can we please make the shade of red that appears underneath deleted posts be darker (while still retaining WCAG Level 2 AA compatibility)?  Here's an image of the current configuration:        ...and the previous configuration:        I hope that this is one of the  of the CSS refactor.

How can I resize an image, with the image quality unaffected?

Just like the question says.   Here's the . It's from a recent Progressive commercial.   Is there a way to do this, preferably in Illustrator, without drawing the outline by hand?

I'm using QGIS. I want a raster layer with 6 different colors each color representing a certain value range (e.g. -1 to 0 red, 0 to 0.2 orange).  In the layer style menu I can only approximate colors.

Can you help me to change window's appearance in Ubuntu 16.04 to be like this image?

I was having an issue earlier, where I wanted to create a simulated reflection on the floor beneath a vector object made up of many smaller paths, while still maintaining full transparency of my final vector.  This is a very easy thing to accomplish in Photoshop and I found a few posts here about it, but I was having trouble finding anything about how to do it in Illustrator (let me know if this is a duplicate and I'll delete).  I figured I would share how I accomplished this task and open it up to any better methods you might have.  So, the question is: How do I take this vector object below and add a reflection beneath it, that fades to transparent?

I should create a vector rectangle filled with a gradient made of 4 colors, one for each corner. I could just find some very generic information about using live blends, but I am not sure that is the best tool and still I was not able to do this. How would you get that in Illustrator exactly? (And secondary in Photoshop?)

Is there a way one could improve the rendering of this gradient? After creating a gradient swatch and applying it to a rectangle that fills the entire page to use as a background, the gradient looks bad so I would like to improve the quality of it and High Quality display performance doesn't change anything:

I know it can  be done using Wind filter. I have tried. But it's not giving the fusion of multiple colors like this. I am unable the get feel of multiple layers of multiple colors.

I am trying to create the effect posted in this image. How can this can be created?

I would like to show on my map only the reddish pixels of my raster layer.  Said in another way: I would like to transform my white background into transparent background so I can see my other features.  I have the feeling this is possible using the custom transparence tab in the layer property.

I'm writing a manual for a class, and I never liked add images as files in my tex, so I'm drawning the logo with this code:   \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \definecolor{xdxdff}{rgb}{0.5,0.5,1.} \definecolor{qqqqff}{rgb}{0.,0.,1.} \definecolor{cqcqcq}{rgb}{0.75,0.75,0.75} \begin{tikzpicture} \clip(-4.42,-1.90) rectangle (8.03,4.69); \draw [color=red,fill=red,fill opacity=1.0] (-0.67,1.06) circle (2.41cm); \draw [color=white,fill=white,fill opacity=1.0] (-0.66,1.71) circle (1.92cm); \draw [shift={(-0.05,2.21)},color=red]  plot[domain=2.01:4.03,variable=\t]({1.*1.40*cos(\t r)+0.*1.40*sin(\t r)},{0.*1.40*cos(\t r)+1.*1.40*sin(\t r)}); \draw [shift={(-1.60,0.27)},color=red]  plot[domain=-0.48:0.92,variable=\t]({1.*1.08*cos(\t r)+0.*1.08*sin(\t r)},{0.*1.08*cos(\t r)+1.*1.08*sin(\t r)}); \draw [shift={(-1.26,1.06)},color=red]  plot[domain=-1.12:0.68,variable=\t]({1.*1.43*cos(\t r)+0.*1.43*sin(\t r)},{0.*1.43*cos(\t r)+1.*1.43*sin(\t r)}); \draw [shift={(0.42,3.0)},color=red] plot[domain=2.72:4.22,variable=\t]({1.*1.18*cos(\t r)+0.*1.18*sin(\t r)},{0.*1.18*cos(\t r)+1.*1.18*sin(\t r)}); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}   which gives me this image   How can I color red the thing in middle?

So this is my first try with cycles and I was wondering what can I do to make the image clearer?

I'm working on a software project that involves creating a visualizer for flood simulations. As part of this project, I've created a water gradient that shows water depth at particular points. To set what values will represent what colors, I go through the data and get the minimum and maximum values that occur and evenly distribute the colors according to that scale.  However, there are often times points in these simulations that have significantly deeper water at them than anywhere else in the simulation. This causes most of the points on the map to have very similar colors and this is not very informative and makes the areas where the water is deeper very hard to see.  My goal is to dedicate a larger range of colors to depths that occur more frequently. For example, if depths go from 0 to 12 but most depths are between 1 and 2, I want more color variation to occur within that range than does between say 11 and 12 or 4 and 5. It seems I need to use standard deviation or something involving normal distribution to do this, but I'm a bit fuzzy on how these things work and how I can use them to accomplish my goal.  Any help that can be provided will be appreciated. Thank you.
