Well, the new project just ceased to be fun - I had drawn about 3/4ths of the borders when PhotoShop complained about "corrupted pixels" due to a "disk or SCSI malfunction" when loading the image. And sure enough, there were large discolored and garbled stripes across the map.
I had saved the image frequently, but all the borderwork was done on the same file, and now it's corrupt. Bugger that. Any ideas on how to recover from that? Scandisk reported nothing to fix, BTW.
Knowing myself, I probably won't restart the work unless the summer is _really_ boring. So, if someone wants to carry on the torch, give me a holler and I'll make the original available.
Here's a preview (the original is 4600x2300 pixels):
