This is really helpful. Been making maps for ten years as a hobby but this is the most clear and straightforward tutorial I've seen for this process.

Just stumbled upon this tutorial series today. I've used all of these programs to do this, but not exactly in this way. I like the look of your method and will give it a try. Keep up the great work.

I devoloped a similar process where you use real data from Nasa, "cut together" and blend then using content aware fill and then process in Wilber, even the white box is similar.
The problem was that you let "real world parts" bleed into the final result....

First, i tried something really similar, where i painted the shapes myself, but never get good results.... But this method of yours is really good, gonna try to remake my entire map using it. The old one you can see the himalayas.

I don't use photoshop but I use gimp, can I ask the id of the colours ?

I noticed that some of the brushes in the video are missing from the file I downloaded (brush pack 2), mainly the medium ones.

Nonetheless, I'm really enjoying your content!

Where can we get more brushes like those? it would be cool to have even more variation :)

Hi, I'm so stuck with this (I don't know anything about Photoshop). I succeeded at importing my own landmass (not easily mind you) and I just now can't seem to make it so I can paint with the brushes on it. When I try, it says "The fill for this layer must be rasterized before proceeding. It will no longer be editable as a fill. Rasterize the fill?" which seems to remove the hue adjustments and brushes become inoperable. I've been at this for 2 hours and I'm just so bad I can't make it work. Could you help me ?

What settings do you use for the brushes?

[DiegoTorres-qkdp]

So I’m new to photoshop and this is probably a stupid question but how do you insert your own landmass using your template? I can’t seem to figure it out.

[CrazyZane]

Im not great with photoshop, how do I reize the template to 4K and or can you make a video on how you made the template?

[scaevola]

Is it possible to get wilbur on mac? I haven’t been able to find it

Are you working with vectors or pixels?
