[QUOTE="James Heard, post: 1337289, member: 7280"] Sometimes the hex grids are something like a scanned image of a hex grid. In which case I set them as the top layer in PS, set the layer mode to multiply or darken or color depending on what looks best, and sometimes I clone the layer for good measure if it's not dark enough with the same layer mode. If I were going to have to scale a scanned hex image to any degree I might isolate the lines as a selection after scaling and darken the entire selection, because scanned images have an awful lot of of gray in there sometimes and worse things like discolorations from the paper. It's good to get rid of things like that. I have no idea how someone would do it another way. I can speak from experience that attempting to make your own hexpaper in Illustrator ended up with me being frustrated beyond belief. If anyone has a ready procedure for THAT task I'm all ears.
