I have a preliminary map now (6459 x 10000 pixel) with the raw terrains in.  Current working file is 1.41GB (my poor Mac is crying -- Photoshop under rosetta is pretty painful for this scale)  I had to generate the terrains completely in Photoshop (I could not get the fractal outlines I wanted from Canvas), but the technique I figured out for photoshop has me happy enough.  It's more art at this point since I have to draw the terrain wiggles now, instead of letting a program do it.The lake render layer adds a bit of character to the terrain.On interesting thing is a single, very obvious mountain peak that rendered up in the mountain process.  It and the mountain chain attached to it (looks like a dragon or large snake with the peak at the heart) is begging for a site.  Another mountain south that drops right into hills gives me the impression of a sheer cliff thousands of feet high.Image attached (low scale at 1200x2000 pix)  It scaled well in JPEG.Feel free to mark up a copy of this image with notes and email back with comments.
