@rileydchampine uses this trick for his fantastic work on the Bidibidi settlement in Uganda, check out his explanation here:

BTW - if you are curious *why I use a high-passed DEM: it is because a DEM ordinarily also adds brightness to the terrain, but when you high-pass it you get only the texture / forms. So you can crank the contrast and blend them w/o having to worry about managing brightness.

Its amazing how a high-passed DEM can add that extra bit of texture to make a hillshade pop. Especially by highlighting elevation change vs. how light hits it, it can add to creating a sense of depth that a hillshade by itself can't do. https://t.co/LKcb7Fp82d

#QGIS #ArcGISPro #gischat is there a good workflow for moving between Pro .stylx files and QGIS styles? Currently I can only find tools that work for ArcMap style files, and .stylx is not convertible afaik to .style files...

Also, if you are ever making maps in a language with a script derived from Arabic you should be careful to avoid a known issue in design software with those scripts:

I've been looking at a lot of Ottoman maps and I love how the cartographer, Mehmet Eşref created labels for waterbodies: https://t.co/7f62lrDi72

I've been guilty of this, but oftentimes when applying effects they form a straight line at the edge of the map. Luckily its easy to avoid in #Illustrator by pulling the vertices past the artboard: https://t.co/9K4MgUoDiB
