Can a map like this be created in Photoshop?

[dannac]

Yes.

 

[Ctoonprty1]

Yes.

I understand that the blur can be done with the Gaussian Blur but what about the angle of the view? I dont think perspective can work

 

[dannac]

Could take picture of map at desired angle.

Yes...........but you can also use tilt shift blur. Remember, any blured image can be adjusted with a layer mask and gradient.

Another solution...........

Map (Note: This is a low res map for the demo. Use a better quality image for yours!)


Go to 3D>New Mesh from layer>Postcard.
Position the the map at the angle you want with the 3D tools.



Crop
Convert to smart object
Apply Gaussian Blur
Use whatever tool on the SO layer mask to "un-blur" the part of the map you want.

Hey, honestly you are a star, I dont know how to thank you enough. I ll give it a try today and I let you know if I have any questions

 

[IamSam]

You're very welcome.

 

[Ctoonprty1]

You're very welcome.

Just one last question, I cant use the 3D option because my laptop doesnt have a dedicated graphics card, are you aware of any other way to activate the 3D option? Thanks again, I really appreciate your help

 

[IamSam]

are you aware of any other way to activate the 3D option?

No, you would need gpu support for the 3D function to operate. But I will look around for a possible solution.

No worries my friend, I spoke with the customer service and problem solved. If anyone needs it in the future, You need to go to Adobe Cloud and install the version PS 22.2. It works even without a dedicated graphics card. Once again, thanks so much for your help, you are the best!

Great!! Did not find that in my search efforts!
