Hello Everyone

[Wilduck]

Thanks Redrobes. I already gave rep to jfr (and you now as well), but I'm not sure if my rep is worth anything at this point...

You say that I should go for 300px per 5ft. That would mean in gimp creating an image that is 300ppi correct?

If your planning to get it printed then yes. If your using it on the screen or in a virtual table top then you could go lower. Also if your map is like 5ft x 4ft then thats a big map at 300 ppi so maybe just go lower anyway. But usually and if able, 300 pixels per inch is a good idea. So an A4 image is about 3500x2500 or thereabouts. You can create the image with a setting for 300 dpi / ppi and then set the inches directly.
