Restructuring a continent

[Ramah]

The map I just started is roughly 8000 x 4000 pixels in size and when I tried to save it as an uncompressed jpeg a box came up saying I didn't have enough RAM.

I'd say that 2k x 2k would be ok for a continental map and a series of regional maps. You could even go smaller than that probably. It all depends on how much detail you want in there. If you want to pick out individual trees and buildings then you're gonna need to make the map pretty big.

Well I got a beast here... 3 To of hard drive, 9 Gb of DDR3 ram and two ATI Radeon 4800 in dual mode as graphic cards ! With liquid cooling system of course ! I'll go up to 5000x5000 that'll give me plenty of space to work. In the worst case I'll just do the map territory by territory and put them together after.

P.S: Ramah I'm completely fond of your style, I'll found a few brushes of your mountains, trees and hills. Do you mind me using that ?

Of course not. That's what they're there for.
