    Map

    Starting with a high resolution (300 dpi) helps avoid a lot of problems. In the meantime, there's a trick you can try:

    • Duplicate your map layer (cuz we never work on the original!)

    • To the duplicated (top) layer, apply Filter>Unsharp Mask with the following settings:

    Amt = 90%
    Radius = 6 px
    Threshold = 3 levels

    • Duplicate the layer you were just working on. Set the blending mode to Overlay. Go to Filter>Other>High Pass. Set at 3 pixels. Lower opacity (I set it at 75%). You can also switch the blending mode to either Soft or Hard Light -- whichever gives the best results.

    Even so, this particular map looks best when reduced to about 45% of the original size...
