This product has some very specific limitations. For most users it won’t be a problem, but please read through all the requirements listed below :]
Compared to my Starmap Poster Creator, this one is a bit harder to use, but is still suitable for beginner and advanced photoshop users. I recommend watching the tutorial video first: https://youtu.be/F-rDYzOWVu8
Requirements, Limitations & FAQ:
This doesn’t work in some versions of CS6 due to a bug. I don’t recommend using this addon if you have Photoshop CS6. It does work fine with cs5 and all of the newer CC (2017 – 2020).
For unknown reasons, South Korea is not able to be mapped. You cannot create a poster of any part of South Korea. Everywhere else works fine, though.
You’ll need photoshop CS5, CS6, or any version of creative cloud. Ps Elements will not work.
This addons uses the map data from Snazzy maps. This is a free source, and you’ll need to create a free acount with them in order to make a map poster with this addon. It takes about 2 minutes and the video tutorial explains how to use it.
The map-data website only lets you download 10 map images per day. So, you can only make up to 10 Map Posters per day. You can create more than one account if you want to get around this.
Maximum sizes: The largest poster you can create at 300dpi is A2 or 16″x20″
Road style: The roads in this poster creator are not laser sharp. They have a slightly grainy edge, you can see a clear example of it in the preview image called ‘High-Res Example’. It looks fine when you print it, but under extremely close examination, it will have this grainy look.
Custom Color: This is a minimal-based poster creator. You can choose one ‘key’ color only, and then variations of that ‘key’ color are applied to each part of the poster. This makes it easy to use, but you won’t be able to make the roads blue and the water green, for example. You’ll have to choose either blue or green or some other color for everything, and then each element of the map will be a shade of that ‘key’ color. You can control the shades, though, and make certain parts darker or lighter.
Refund Policy: I can only issue refunds for technical problems. For example, if some unknown error or unfixable issue prevents the poster creator from working. I can’t refund purchases made by mistake or my shop will get penalized. Please read the description carefully before purchase :]
