Hello !
Your perspective trick works really good ! You choose the right format (vertical) to improve that effect, and when you start looking at the map from bottom to the top, it's like if you're lifting your head to look further... Amazing !!!
A really great job !!!

Please can I ask what Abu means by "stroked" labels? I don't use PS, so don't understand what is meant.
Hey mouse, to answer your question: in many programs, PS, gimp but also inkscape for example, you can add a line around the text (and all other objects/ layers). It is often used for the labels (names) on maps (at least, i like to do itOriginally Posted by Mouse

In this case it's the light-greyish line around the text, that i find a bit too broad (it "overwhelms" the original text, so to speak). I'm not sure if it is the right terminology or makes sense to speak of stroked labels in this case, but i hope you got what i meant.

Perfectly. Thanks
EDIT: In CC3 terminology we would just call this an outline. However, with text we generally use what we call a 'glow', where the text may be white, for instance, and the glow a much darker colour or black. A CC3 glow is different to your stroke because it fades away like the edge of a uniform shadow.

Mouse, in photoshop you can outline (stroke) and glow, alot of times I use a thin 1pt stroke and then an outer glow of the same color of stroke, this gives a nice sharp edge to the type before fading. Thanks Abu for jumping in
Josiah VE - I was trying something I hadn't done before was a "Bird's Eye View" - looking straight down you see the staring point of the journey (top down, then as the BIRD looks outward it sees the journey in front of them and a more front view perspective, just trying something to see if it would work, I like it.
You like it... I love it
I have to concur.You like it... I love it
