[QUOTE="Xorn, post: 4124779, member: 61231"] I do the map itself in Dundjinni, then I added post-export lighting effects in PaintShop. :) I've been really happy with Dundjinni--it's just really simple to use, and powerful enough for the maps I'm doing. I just want something that looks good--it doesn't have to be OMFG. (Though some of the DJ veterans kick out some UNBELIEVABLE stuff.) re: Jonathan Doh! I'm sorry, ordinarily when I export these, I set them to print at 50 dpi by default. I'll fix this image and repost it. Most image programs have the ability to resize the print resolution of an image to whatever you like. My maps are primarily designed for virtual tabletops, which have an unofficial community standard of 50 pixels/square. These will print a little grainy at 50 dpi, but I don't think it would look any worse than my hand drawings on the table. :) If you are going to print them, I recommend cropping a section that will fit on a single page when possible. Okay, I redid the image. It will print 1 in/sq by default now. Mind you that's an image 31"x35", so I would print "pieces" of it. The image has been reposted now at 50 dpi. If you want to chop it into pieces, just use any paint program (GiMP is powerful and free) to select an area 400x500 (or a multiple, like 800x500, etc) and that's an 8x10 image. Select 500x400 for landscape, etc. If you want four landscape pages, crop it to 1000x800. That will print landscape onto 4 pages if the print margins are set to 0.5 top and bottom, and 0.25 left and right. I might kick out some pre-cropped pages down the road, but at the moment, I'm in the middle of working on that Fing dragons lair. (Working up to the landscape map last.) Hopefully the lichen glow will turn out like I'm hoping for.) [/QUOTE]
