Hi all,
I've been a professional cartographer and GIS Analyst for close to 20 years, but reading and looking at the wonderful maps here, the bug has bit me to try and create some fantasy maps just for the pure fun of it.

I use Esri's ArcInfo every day, but I wanted to try and create the maps in a copy of Photoshop Elements 6 I have installed. I'm just on the edge of starting to try and make a map with alot to learn about the software, but I did run across a question I haven't been able to answer yet and I was hoping someone here could help.

I see a vast array of textures and tiles and symbols many of you have created in different file formats I'd love to use, but I haven't found out how or where to import them into PS Elements so I can use them.
I appologize if this has been covered somewhere before as I haven't been able to find it on the site.

Also, is there a tutorial for any map creation in PS Elements on the site?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
Todd
