We are thrilled not only to have Bert Monroy at Mac Computer Expo to talk about the techniques he used to create Times Square, but we also have on display a 5-foot-by-25-foot digital illustration of his New York’s Times Square creation! Every element of Times Square was meticulously created from scratch — not from photographs — using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. The 6.5-gigabyte image was built pixel by pixel, using more than 750,000 Photoshop layers.
