I'm not sure what the mosaic settings in Photoshop are.
I have attached the Gimp dialog. I found the best effect was as selected (for buildings.
I also did a quick test running the mosaic filter three times. Also attached. Think I'll keep playing as there seems some potential for filling large areas easily. There has to be a reasonable programmatic way to generate streets.... might have to look into L-systems and fractals again

Hi all,
Looks like it has been a long time since anyone posted in this one...so I want to drop in and say thanks for the tutorials! Just finished reading these and am going to try them out tonight. I like the results and method - I truly feared trying to draw all of the little buildings of a big city by hand.
I'm new to this site and to computer mapping in general and think this one will help me with my current project a great deal. Looking forward to reading the rest of the impressive-looking tuts on here and trying out some of the techniques. Thanks again!

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -- that's all."

Nice tutorial!
Wow--as you can all see, I don't "haunt" my old stomping grounds very often (I'm like Haley's Comet, I guess), but I was astounded and flattered to see so many nice comments about this tutorial. Thank you.
But more importantly, what a bunch of great maps you've all made! Nice going! Excellent work, everyone! Keep it up!
