Perhaps you are a designer. Perhaps from time to time you need to design maps. Perhaps you don\u2019t quite have the time right now to learn how to be a full-blown cartographer.<\/p>\n

Never fear. All you need is ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud<\/a>. This is a free extension for Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop that lets you pull geographic data into your design documents.<\/p>\n

This product is most often used with vector data in Adobe Illustrator. But it works great for Photoshop, too.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":488542,"id":488542,"title":"raster-bathy","filename":"raster-bathy.png","filesize":39663,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/raster-bathy.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/maps-for-adobecc\/mapping\/use-arcgis-map-data-in-photoshop\/raster-bathy","alt":"Global ocean bathymetry raster data","author":"7411","description":"","caption":"","name":"raster-bathy","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":488472,"date":"2019-04-10 23:25:29","modified":"2019-04-10 23:26:16","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":600,"height":474,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/raster-bathy-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/raster-bathy.png","medium-width":330,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/raster-bathy.png","medium_large-width":600,"medium_large-height":474,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/raster-bathy.png","large-width":600,"large-height":474,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/raster-bathy.png","1536x1536-width":600,"1536x1536-height":474,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/raster-bathy.png","2048x2048-width":600,"2048x2048-height":474,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/raster-bathy-589x465.png","card_image-width":589,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/raster-bathy.png","wide_image-width":600,"wide_image-height":474}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

This blog will walk you through creating a map of the ocean\u2019s deepest trenches (the hadopelagic zone) using ArcGIS map data in Adobe Photoshop.<\/p>\n

MAKE A MAP<\/h2>\n

First things first, you need to decide on your artboard size. And because this is a map, that means choosing two important map properties: scale and extent.<\/p>\n

1. Download and install the extension<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Open Photoshop.<\/p>\n

3. From the Window<\/strong> menu, point to Extensions<\/strong> and click ArcGIS Maps for Adobe Creative Cloud<\/strong>.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":488562,"id":488562,"title":"extension","filename":"extension.png","filesize":11053,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/extension.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/maps-for-adobecc\/mapping\/use-arcgis-map-data-in-photoshop\/extension","alt":"The ArcGIS extension in Photoshop's Window menu","author":"7411","description":"","caption":"","name":"extension","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":488472,"date":"2019-04-10 23:28:34","modified":"2019-04-10 23:29:03","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":588,"height":195,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/extension-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/extension.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":154,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/extension.png","medium_large-width":588,"medium_large-height":195,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/extension.png","large-width":588,"large-height":195,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/extension.png","1536x1536-width":588,"1536x1536-height":195,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/extension.png","2048x2048-width":588,"2048x2048-height":195,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/extension.png","card_image-width":588,"card_image-height":195,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/extension.png","wide_image-width":588,"wide_image-height":195}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

While you may be eager to start mapping<\/a>, it\u2019s important to first decide on your map\u2019s extent. Here you are forced into making this smart choice up front, thus preventing much frustration and lost time later in your project.<\/p>\n

Two windows appear: ArcGIS Maps: Compilation<\/strong> and ArcGIS Maps: Mapboards<\/strong>. One of the windows may be hiding the other.<\/p>\n

Not a cartographer? Level of detail is also called LOD, and in the mapping world it is closely tied to scale. Scale is the relationship between distances on the map and distances on the ground in the real world, and it is often expressed with a scale bar. Scale, extent and artboard size all affect one another.<\/a> You can’t show twice as much land on the same size paper without also changing the scale. For this reason, the width and height of your artboard size will automatically adjust as you change the LOD. You can think of scale like resolution, but for geography.<\/p>\n

The County<\/strong> LOD will give you more detailed data, since it is designed for mapping a smaller area, while the World<\/strong> LOD will give you less. Continent – High Detail<\/strong> will give you more detail than you need, but it’s better to start detailed and downgrade later if you need to.<\/p>\n

Not a cartographer? This map is square because it uses the Web Mercator projection. Perhaps you\u2019ve heard that this is a \u201cbad\u201d projection, specifically because it makes Greenland look larger than South America. In fact, it is a useful projection some purposes\u2014just not all. Because the world is round and paper is flat, all projections must distort some aspect of the earth in order to draw it on a piece of paper (or a computer screen). Mercator is not a good choice for maps showing the entire world.<\/p>\n
