    Thanks for the rep! I would very much like to see your take on a map themed: "unravel a very wrinkly river", for me it was a very rewarding experience as well as a very frustrating one at times.

    Thanks for the Rep! I had already picked 2 cloud pictures to use as the edges of the river, but when I saw those 2 sunset pictures I changed plans from doing a regular river to the lava river. So I actually used 4 different cloud pictures to make the map. I was pleasantly surprised how it came out.

    12 gb ... Yikes, that's large. But I am not a PS user myself, so I have no clue if 12gb is unusual. Let's ask that as a separate question - in a thread dedicated to that issue alone.
