    I spent many time with g.plates. Now I understand that here can be 2 t. plates, mb 3, not more,(how it said Charerg). I need back in tectonic and remade it, because I feel not that I understand my relief very good and it stoped me to make DEM.
    1. I whant save my map size, mb make it ~5000-5000 or 7000-7000 km.
    2. I whant save basic relief idea. Tanat mountains(big middle mountain chain). and basic view of coastline with corrections.
    3. If I continue use 4000-4000 km and 2 t. plates, it meen that I need redraw north. I don`t belive that north plate have so small land. Mb islands? Or something conection like Kamchatka - Alaska? I think this is the better choise.
    4. I don`t whant detailed enother continents, but i feel, that witout it I don`t understand how make Kronos.
    5. My experement with tiles looks good like for me. Who find 2 dragons on map?)))) But I need redraw DEM, because it looks unrealistic.
    6. Scale size. I need choose zoom. I whant see all houses, rivers, towers and ect Mb 500 m?

    Small test with half-auto-texture blending on black-white height map in photoshop. Where gray=grass, dark gray=sand, light gray = forest, white = rock and snow. And I can cotrol it in real time. With this I can fast texturing my map, because in last I do it all by my hand with brushes.
    Did anybody know how make drop shadows in photoshop?. I used 3d pluh in photoshop, but it made artifacts. Mb u know easy technicqe with lighting effects?
    My shadows are very lockal. I whant massife shadow of full mountain range. (some time I just draw big black blumb for imitate it, but it look unrealistic)I don`t feel deeps and haven`t feeling that I rise up on the mountain when look at coastline on south and mountains on the north of my map.

    The map looks great! How are you finding Pixie's style (to work with I mean, I know it looks amaxing )? I tried doing all the elevation layers manually myself at one point, but after a while decided it was too much work (especially if you change something afterwards, then you have to redraw everything) and settled on working with greyscale instead.
