Creating Projections using Photoshop, GPlates, and G.Projector || Worldbuilding Guide

We are going to be talking about projections for our maps, turning hand-drawn global maps into good bases for regional and local maps. For this I am using photoshop and puppet warps for creating a rectangular projection, popping it into GPlates for a bit to check distortion, and then into G.Projector to generate my projections.
