You can use this assets pack with Wonderdraft as well as any image editing software such as Photoshop or GIMP.
Take your maps to the next level with Top-down Towns, Castles, Villages & More – Old Cartography Megapack, a massive asset pack designed in the style of old cartography. Instead of simple city or castle icons, this pack lets you place richly detailed top-down towns where every building, wall, and street is visible. With over 750 assets including fortified cities, walled towns, grid planned towns, castles, forts, hamlets, watermills, bridges, piers, palisades, and more, you can bring your fantasy world to life with maps that look truly lived-in, immersive, and unique. These resources are designed for Wonderdraft, but easily usable in other softwares like Inkarnate (Wonderdraft assets are just .png files).

Instructions for use with Photoshop or Gimp or any other image editing software
You can use the included PNG images with these software programs.
For images labeled as ‘normal color,’ you can use them as-is in all of your image software.
For images labeled as ‘sample color,’ if you want to create a transparent background and only keep the outlines so you can add your own colors, it’s best to put the layer with the image(s) in ‘multiply’ mode. This will make the white color completely transparent, allowing you to keep only the black lines.
For images labeled as ‘custom color,’ you can choose your own colors by changing the hue of each of the three primary colors separately.
May your journeys through cartography assets & fantasy map symbols be filled with boundless imagination and endless discovery. Happy mapping!
