Cruenti Dei world map

Actually, for a project like this, you might just find some more 'serious' geospatial software useful. QuantumGIS for instance.

This would provide a way to store data about your world and analyze it. (A simple example would be: Find all regions with average temperature above X, and all regions with more than Y cm of annual rainfall, and then intersect them to find tropical areas.) It can also convert projections for you.

It's more software to learn, but it's free.

Well. I took a look at QuantumGIS, but I'm afraid that several hours in I'm finding it quite beyond me.

Back in Photoshop land, I've aged my map.



I can't say I'm too happy with it. Although it looks much better in the larger size than this one, it's still not right.

There's nothing I can't fix, but the sheer amount of fixing is enough that I'm leaving it for another day.

For one, it's much too dark - dark enough that any other use of colour is going to look like mud.

Then there's the fact that the tan frame is not working with the parchment effects. It's going to have to be a different colour.

And for some reason, I have one river that's standing out like it's on fire.

Grr.
