Originally posted by foxglove Now that's interesting! Is that a map of the state in the background, with all the wiggly lines? Fascinating treatment, I'd like to know more about how you did it, if you're willing to share your secrets.

Not a map of anyplace (though I know a way to do that with some more work and accomplish a similar thing), just a plugin by FX that emulates plaster/cracked mud. Had to work at the placement of the 'removed' portions of the plaster to get rid of more modern looking objects in the original shot.
Made a sketch of the photo, overlaid with a pantone color (probably 161 or 154) in softlight blend mode.
Ken, you may not like the photo treatment but I thought of all things you would be interested in the frame technique as it may work with some of the work you are doing with the lobster fisheries. Matter of fact, I thought of you when I posted this photoshopped creation.
