Create map from picture

[Exide]

Hi.
I've heard of tools that supposedly can create a SC map from a .jpg picture.

Are there any similar tools for SC2? Do they work? What are they called and where can I get them?

I would only like to make terrain from a picture, since making symmetric terrain in the editor is a pain in the ...

It's actually pertty easy to make a symmetric terrain in the terrain editor. Just make half of the terrain and then copy, mirror and paste.

How do I copy and mirror terrain?

First hold and drag your mouse over the area you want to copy. You will see a green rectangle when you drag, but when you release the button it will disappear. Then press ctrl+c, and after ctrl+v. Before you paste the terrain choose edit and then flip. Choose horisontally/vertically depending on what you need, and then just press where you want to paste.

I will try that, thanks.
