Because I suck at photoshop and want a method to create a lot quality looking maps I created a program that will [try to] generate them automatically.
The method is simple, hence the 'lazy' part of the name.

find a good looking map.

create a mask image in paint or photoshop.

create a new mask of whatever you like.

after running the program, it spits out a new map image.

Bigger image here

I consider the experiment a failure because once you consider map-items, debris, terrain shading ect, the quality will not be up to par of a painted map.
Back to the drawing board.

I'll put up a download link later for anyone who wants to experiment with the program.

Update: Here Is the link to the test program. There is an INI file that can be used to change the settings. remember that this is just a proof of concept program, not a feature rich application.

hey nice idea, if nothing else it's a way to lay out your map fast, then add detail later

Looks interesting, especially for all of those without photoshop.
