    When you get a view in FT that you want to make a map from, save the file as a jpg but set your width to a very large number (I use 4800)... Remember, for good resolution you will need 300 pixels per inch, so for an 8.5 x 11 sheet you want at least 2550 x 3300 pixels in your starting image.

    So save my map in FT in JPG format with a width of at least 4800, then export it to PS, then make sure the image is 2550 x 3300 pixels? Will that still print on an 8x11?
