I noticed that someone has been trying to access these files. Sorry, I had updated the security on these and didn't realize that it would affect the links. All should be working again. Let me know if you have any other problems with this.

Happy mapping.

@pkfrye I'm really sorry but I have to back out of this competition. A recent OS update hosed my system. I tried to roll back and my problems grew. I tried online image repair tool and my problems continued to grow. The harder I tried to fix things the worse they became until startup was taking over 20 minutes and my dis and cpu were running 100% continuously. Sigh. So I made sure my backups were up to date and then wiped it all down to the ground. I'm up and running again. I now have the horrific task of reloading everything. Sometimes I hate computers.

Oh dear, I have to download and install everything from PF. I wish there was an easier way to install CC and it's zillion add-ons. I dread this so much that it's going to be a while before I do it.

Yep. I don't know if I'll succeed with what I would like to do but I'll end up with something to enter in the competition either way. It's been a few years since I've worked with photoshop. I may end up doing this in CC3+. I'm taking this in baby steps. ?

Thanks Sue. :D

Here's just a quick concept sketch of what I would like to do.

I only had the bare minimum of art software loaded on my system so getting all of my ancient software loaded and functioning on Win10 was my first step. That's done.

Next up is creating the seamless textures as well as some bits and pieces that I might need. This involves trips around my local parks and green spaces to take pictures of old and rotting wood. This is where I'm at currently. I'll have to add more textures as I need them. I'm not sure yet what all I'll need and want. Here's what I have so far.
