User blog:DarrenDude/New Simulated Hurricane Images

Have you ever made that one storm, that hits in new York as a c5? Or that one storm that hits south america as a c4 in the south pacific? But oh no! There is no image of a storm even hitting there! Don't worry, I can just make you a simulated image! I am taking any hurricane simulation requests for anyone who needs a storm!

What is a simulated image?
A simulated hurricane image is a picture of a hurricane "photoshoped " to make it in a certain place. Like you could have hurricane Katrina hit North Carolina, or have Tyhpoon Tip near cape Verde. Simulated images allow you to better depict storms visually.

What kinds of simulated images are there?
There are two types of images I can simulate for you. Overlay images, and merge images. A overlay image, is just the hurricane overlayed on the basin image. That's it. It works best for land falling hurricanes or using images that are very "cloudy" around the hurricane. The downside the this type is that some detailing may be left out the the image, and the edges of the storm may look too sharp.

The 2nd type of simulated image is the merge image. This is where the basin and hurricane images are "merged" together. In these images, the details of the hurricane are very precise and the storm looks like it is one with the earth/water that it is on. The edges of the hurricane are the opposite of sharp, as they fade into the air around it. The downside to this type of simulation is that the hurricane looks rather transparent, so its not the best for hurricanes that are directly making landfall on a large landmass. Its better for making storms that hit islands, or are close to land but still mostly on the water.

How do I request an image?
To request an image, please follow the instructions below: That's pretty much it! Ask me anytime to simulate an image for you, I will be happy to do so :D
 * Specify whether you want a overlay image or a merge image.
 * Specify what storm you want. You could just give me an intensity, or give me a image of a storm you want, but I would like the storm to be mostly if not completely over water.
 * Specify where you want the storm. If making landfall, lease tell me the city or county you want it to make landfall in. If over water, give me an ideal of where the eye of the storm is.
