Creating Map In Photoshop

First thing’s first; this tutorial is indite mainly to remind myself of the steps I go done when making a use… much of this will lead like a lecture but it’s how I work and what I’m thinking, my steps might non be perfect and my observations might be incorrect. Next, look at a GLOBE of the earth not a like a shot map out, this is because a flat map will distort things to the highest degree the gages to form them look larger than they really are (Greenland looks great on a flat map). Get the proportions of landmass to sea virtually in your mind (our earth is 70% water, I think) and take some measurements if you want to by using a piece of string indeed holding the string up to a ruler. For this tutorial I’m going to do a small continent (2000 X 2000).
1. To function upper limit detail I set my resolution way up there at 300-600. The size of the image will eat us 1 pixel = 1 mile so 2000 miles high and wide and the resolution is only for print purposes. I could do this at 100 dpi but if I printed the map it would be larger and then most printers cannot handle much beyond 300 dpi so if you intend to print your map then go with 300 dpi. If your system cannot handle these dimensions without chugging it’s guts out then cut the size in half, this will crumple you 1 pixel = 2 miles, close up not too shabby, eh?



If your system can handle this then try a higher image size, this will give you 1 pixel = ½ mile, or ¼ mile or whatever. Or try doing a full earth (the earth is roughly 25,000 miles in circumference around the equator and slightly less from pole to pole so it wouldn’t roll very sanitary due to this beer-belly but for simplicity’s sake I use 12,500 so use 25,000 X 12,500). This image size really makes my pc chug so I tho make a bunch of continents and at the end make one big composition.
2. Background information: look at some topography maps or Google earth maps of mountain ranges, swamps, beaches, deserts, rivers, lakes,...If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
