Port Mahon (I copy an 18th century map to practice)

Don't know, I think you were on to something in your post with the sea pattern. Perhaps not perfect, but it worked (And personally I preferred it a lot more than your last post). Have you considered trying a combination of the two?

This really is coming along nicely.

I agree with Tainotim, the angled lines are ok, and much more like the original map you wanted to reproduce. Have you tried the "Soft" option on the lines? That tends to make them less angular.

I agree with both Tainotim and Chick. Good job on this anyway, I really like the fortress.

"Soft"? How do you do that?

What software are you using?

Photoshop.

I've tried with Refine Edge->Smooth

Now that looks quite good!

Now you got it

I usually use the Blending Options, Outer Glow with contours, and that has a "Softer" option. But what you did works just fine!

I don't see it in the Blending Options of the Layer Style.
