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? Mostly just from the fact that India looks desiccated. 162.158.166.197 05:06, 11 January 2017 (UTC)Girish Australia is pretty mutilated, so I think the tool was used on land too 162.158.178.111 05:55, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Where are Laos and Cambodia missing? 108.162.246.11 06:14, 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)
