Well, all the techniques I'm using were created in Photoshop 7, so you don't have to upgrade to try them out. CS3 is pretty sweet, though!

There was one bit I didn't get to mention because I ran out of time... If you're working in RGB mode, you can hit Ctrl-Y or to click on View > Proof Colors, and Photoshop will display how your image will look in CMYK. So you can keep all the functionality that you get working in RGB, and at...

Thanks! I was almost afraid I'd gone too far afield this week, since I only spent the last two or three minutes of the show actually doing anything on the map! Next week's episode is going to be really fun. I just hope I'll be able to fit it all into 10 minutes!

Thanks! I try to pack 'em as full as I can. :)

There's a lot more of this sort of thing in my weekly Photoshop tips on my website, although I try to hit them as they come up in the podcast. Eventually, I'm envisioning that the Photoshop podcast will morph into a more general cartography podcast, where I'll talk about other programs like...

Thanks! Photoshop really is an incredibly deep program. I think there's always something new to be learned with it, no matter how long you've been using it!

I've got a new episode of the podcast up, just head over to Zombie Nirvana! I also put up a sneak peek at the first chapter of the book. :)

Episode #5 of Fantasy Cartography with Adobe Photoshop is now available! Things get colorful in this episode as I talk about saturation, color picker tricks, and more! You can check it out at Revver, YouTube, or just head over to ZombieNirvana.com and watch it there. Thanks for listening, and...

I don't even shop at an LGS. And I've never played at one for free, so I can't even imagine a situation where I'd want to actually shell out money for it.

Neat!

:D I'm working on it... There are about a zillion screenshots, so it's kind of a bear to lay out!

Thanks, I will try to keep that in mind! I keep thinking I should include the website name in the opening credits (such as they are), but I'd hate to think that folks feel like they're being overly shilled-to. (Which probably means I'm not shilling nearly enough... I'm not much of a marketing...

Thanks! If you've enjoyed the podcasts, there's no reason you shouldn't enjoy the book too. If you've looked at the last couple of Photoshop tips I've done over on my website (layer masks and vector masks), you'll know what to expect from the book as far as the tone and style goes. If it seems...

I'm considering some different options for something like that; a DVD offered through Lulu.com is a possibility!

Sure! I'll do that map after I finish the Foster's Meadow stuff.

:D The buildings were the last major element I put in when I was working on the original, and at that point I wasn't really trying to come up with any new or exciting techniques at that point... it was getting pretty late and I was darn tired! But the technique I'm going to show in the...

Well, if you want to know how I did the buildings in the original, it's not terribly exciting. I just drew them in with a brush! :p But I do have a nifty trick to show off that's a heck of a lot easier. But that's still... Oh, at least three or four weeks away. Next week will be coloring...

Thanks! I was afraid at first that I wouldn't be able to fill 10 minutes each week for very long. As it turns out, it's harder to squeeze in everything I want to talk about into that time than I ever thought it would be! So I shouldn't have any trouble keeping it going for awhile.

Thanks all! I'll have a Photoshop tip on vector masks up on the website some time tomorrow; I just have to finish taking some screen shots for it and get them resized and uploaded.

If you missed it, FCAP #4 is up!
