[QUOTE="Marius Delphus, post: 3314964, member: 447"] The images in the adventure PDF are limited to 200 dpi in order to keep file size down. (Yeah, I know; but it could have been way larger.) That's not to say that all the images are definitely 200 dpi -- one or two of them may be slightly less -- but 200 is the upper limit. The gridded maps in the maps PDF are 300 dpi, except the tower map is 310 dpi. To get a 1" grid out of the pub maps from the maps PDF, I calculate you'd need to be printing at about 325% magnification, which would reduce it to about 92 dpi. To do the same for the tower map you'd need about 570% magnification, which would reduce it to about 55 dpi. For the farmhouse map you'd need about 555% magnification, which would reduce it to about 54 dpi. Now if it were me, and I was making battle maps out of these images, I wouldn't care. The graphics files required to provide 1" grids at 150 dpi are kind of large. Consider the farmhouse map; it'd end up roughly 45.5" across and 28.5" tall, for pixel dimensions of 6825 by 4275 (it's actually 4266 because the "right size" map is not quite 28.5" tall, but what's 9 pixels between friends). I *could* go into Photoshop and make individual JPEG maps of the proper size, but they'd end up between 3 and 4 MB a pop. Even if that doesn't sound like much, it turns out a lot of systems find a 29-megapixel image a little hard to handle. But if that's something Ryan or Russ want me to do, I'm sure they'll contact me about it. :) [/QUOTE]
