 In case someone is interested this is how I make 512 textures using sat images (for ODS theater).

 Here's how i did the texture stuff so far:
   * Get decent sat image (we have a few now I guess) scale it to the correct resolution **1 pixel = 2 meter** (look at cars, roads...)
   * adjust the red/blue/green gamma settings and saturation/hue if needed
   * Select an area for the generic/ F /all directions texture cut/copy it (not scaling) to the 512x512 size
   * Manual make the texture objects evenly distributed by copying small irregular parts around / filter any rough borders
   * With photoshop filter offset it 20 or more pixels and make the borders disappear by filtering/soften/blur or copying small irregular parts over the border
   * First tile done -save it in true color pcx
   * For testing reduce color to 256, name it after a generic existing tile replacing all T,M,H,L* ones
   * Now do either the 16 river or 16 road tiles (see [[falcon4:textures|texture tutorial]] about the texture structure from *1 to *F)
   * Select the generic tile as basis copy a road/crossing from your sat pic into it making it fit on the border (use a grid or so and finally choose the offset filter for 3-5 pixels and make the last adjustments, begin with the f tile (roads from all directions and a crossing in the middle). Take this tile then as reference for the correct borders
   * Place a few objects on crossings for diversity, since those tiles wont get repeated nearby normally - be sure to keep the tile borders the same as the generic one always.
