This is of tremendous usefulness if you're editing screenshots the slow way (as I was), and allows you to add spice in a few seconds. I'm so much happier with this smoother process. Check out Picnik and get the Firefox add-on.

How might I take a topo map of the area around Harbin Hot Springs, California, for example, and map it into SL?
I wonder if you can tell me what's the best way to go from topographic maps
related to this quadrant

or from http://seamless.usgs.gov/ which data I couldn't access
to regions in Second Life?
Have you already made a video about this? If so, what's its URL?
How can I efficiently terraform?
Thank you
Wow Torley! I did see the Picnik in Flickr but I thought it was just about very basic photo editing!! This is fun and fastttt!!! TYTYTY
'This video is no longer available on Flickr'
Betcha they got upset at the bandwidth use. Those companies are aaaaaaalways like that!
i love Picnik. i typically batch my day's BMP files from Second Life in either Fireworks or Photoshop to export to jpeg and a smaller size (like 1200 wide). and then i Picnik. it's fast and typically i only do a little contrast work with it and voila!
speaking of "voila!", i am from quebec and just saw (oh yes, acute powers of uncanny observation) that you are canadian??? is this true? be still my heart! =D
@Pompo: Yeah, it's fun like a toy but can do some significant adjustments.
@Psyra: Oh why rats! I think that's a bug. Did you try to access the vid from a feed reader or directly on this page?
@Ener: Thrilled to hear of your usage of Picnik!
I am Canadian. BC born and raised!
i won't answer for Torley but for terraforming, the best is by creating RAW data files. you could use the USGS black and white topographical maps as a base, it would take some experimenting with photoshop layer effects I think, but should be doable.
i find RAW maps can be very amusing because of the results I get. it certainly takes some practice. good luck
