What’s New in Geographic Imager 6.8?

Resources

We are very pleased to announce the release of Geographic Imager version 6.8, the latest version of our Geographic Imager® extension for Adobe Photoshop®. 

With Geographic Imager v6.8, we are announcing the brand new Export Contours tool, official compatibility with macOS Sonoma (version 14), and several performance enhancements and bug fixes.

Here’s what you can expect with the latest Geographic Imager v6.8 release:

Export Contours Tool

Contour lines can be the perfect contextual element to add the finishing touches to your map. However, sometimes it can be difficult to find vector contour line data for your region or to find contour line data at the desired interval. Luckily, the new Export Contour tool in Geographic Imager is the perfect solution for this problem!

The Export Contour tool allows you to use imported elevation data in the form of a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to create custom contour lines and export them as a vector file for use in MAPublisher. It is easily accessible from the Geographic Imager panel with its very own brand new button.

The Export Contours tool has several parameters that you can customize before exporting, such as interval between lines, base contour offset, and elevation attribute name. These options are easy to set and adjust in the Export Contour dialog box that appears when you click the button on the Geographic Imager panel.

Your contours can be exported in a variety of file formats, including shapefiles, KMZ files or GeoJSON files. If desired, you can add the contours to your current PSD document as paths. This is a convenient way to preview them and make changes if necessary before importing them into MAPublisher.

Once exported, your contours are ready for use in virtually any GIS software or application, such as MAPublisher!

Compatibility with macOS Sonoma

We want our users to enjoy fully optimized freedom with our products. As such, we are also happy to announce that Geographic Imager is now officially compatible with the most recent version of macOS Sonoma (version 14).

Geographic Imager 6.8 is Available Now!

If you would like to learn more about the new Geographic Imager 6.8 features or have any questions, please check out our Support Centre.

Geographic Imager v6.8 is available immediately, free of charge to all current Geographic Imager users with active maintenance subscriptions and as an upgrade for non-maintenance users.

Vector Basemaps are Now Available in MAPublisher 11.2

Resources

We are very excited to announce the release of MAPublisher version 11.2, the latest version of our MAPublisher® extension for Adobe Illustrator®. 

With MAPublisher v11.2, we are introducing our brand new Vector Basemaps tool! The update also includes several performance enhancements and bug fixes.

Here’s what you can expect with the latest MAPublisher v11.2 release:

Vector Basemaps are Here!

Sometimes in mapping projects we have all of our important datasets, but when it comes to putting together a map we need some surrounding context such as land use or water bodies. This is where the brand-new Vector Basemaps tool for MAPublisher comes in.

This exciting new tool gives you the ability to import georeferenced vector data to your maps from an online server. Imported data is autostyled based on the zoom level and attribute information, but can also be configured or imported by users to create savable custom styles.

Importing Vector Basemaps to Your Project

There are two ways to import vector basemap data into your document. You can choose to Select Data For MAPView, which requires an existing MAPView to pull boundaries from, or Select Data For Artboard, which allows you to specify the coordinates of a bounding box either by typing them in manually or selecting them on an online map.

After selecting your area, you can edit the zoom level (which is automatically calculated based on the size of your extents and artboard) and choose a style. The Vector Basemaps tool comes with one default style, which can later be edited and saved for reuse.

Configuring Vector Basemaps

If our default vector basemap style is not exactly what you need for your project, fear not! Once you have imported your vector basemap data, the Configure Vector Basemaps dialog box allows you to fully customize any aspect of your style. 

The Edit action allows you to make changes to any of the various stylesheets that are used to visualize your vector basemap data. The vector basemap stylesheets are edited in the same way as regular MAP Stylesheet Themes are.

The Save action allows you to save your customized basemap styles to your MAPublisher library for later use. To apply a saved basemap style, you can simply use the Apply New Basemap Stylesheets action and select your saved style from the dropdown menu. This is exceptionally helpful if you are creating a series of maps that require uniformity across their design!

Get started with Vector Basemaps by downloading our latest MAPublisher v11.2 update, and check out our support articles for Importing and Configuring Vector Basemaps to help acquaint yourself with this new tool!

MAPublisher 11.2 is Available Now!

If you would like to learn more about the new MAPublisher v11.2 features or have any questions, please check out our Support Centre.

MAPublisher v11.2 is immediately available today, free of charge to all current MAPublisher users with active maintenance subscriptions and as an upgrade for non-maintenance users.
