Thread: First Map

The mountains looks nice. Good work.

Woo ok so I'm deciding I'm done with this map. Did some stuff with the ocean, cropped the map, stuff like that.

As good as it gets: http://raejekii.deviantart.com/art/C...shed-155287894

Bloody hell this thing took a long time to save....never again making a map on that scale. No point XD. One to four sheets of paper is fine XD

Did you uncheck the "maximize compability"? If you do it will save faster.

That's a good tip - thanks Carnifex

That's a good map - nice colour choices and a good use of the style. You probably don't need to upload the full ~56 Mpx image though - no one can really view that on a web browser. It might be worth downsizing it by 33%. That way when people view it on the screen they'll be viewing it at roughly print scale (92dpi screen/300dpi print ~33%). You'll avoid maxing out the viewer's RAM and caning their computer too...

lol actually thats not the full size on my deviant art. It has been reduced by about 30% XD

In which case I'd agree - you probably don't need to work at that resolution. I'm amazed PS handled it at all. What computer are you running?

A rather wicked awesome mac at the college I'm going to.

Ah, that would probably do it. I find that PS starts complaining at around 75 Mpx with more than 5 or 6 layers even with 4Gb ram (though I am using 32 bit PS so that's less of an issue).
