I'm not too experienced with PhotoShop, but I think that the tool is a selective delete that he used on water bodies, so removing most of the water while maintaining relative shapes and sizes?

Australia is pretty mutilated, so I think the tool was used on land too 162.158.178.111 05:55, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

The tool removes spaces of uniform color automagically. If you have big countries like India or Australia, they get caught by the algorithm as well. 162.158.69.9 06:16, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Can anybody figure out the projection before the application of the tool? 108.162.219.232 06:58, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
