Hi all,

I have been trying to get a nice United States map that can easily be colored in photoshop. I have gotten some images from google, and used the hue/saturation option to colorize the picture with a maroon cast to it. The only thing is, the whites have a pinkish hue also. I was wondering if there is a set of shapes out there that I can download and load into my shapes palette and work with those. If not, does anyone have any other ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

maybe use the history brush on the pink area that you want to take out? I am not sure if it would work. good luck!

Hey.

I was in the same boat as you, 'cept I was looking for just Louisiana. I ended up finding eps files from a .gov page. Do some googling and there's a good chance you'll find something. Worst case scenario, there are stock map companies that'll sell maps in various formats, though some do give away samples (and if you're lucky...).

Hope there's something there to help.
