Well... I just Recently got CC3 but I have an whole slew of maps that i Drew by hand. Ranging from when i was fifteen to the present the only problem is that they are on Huge Sheets of paper. How would I go about getting these on to my PC in a digital format?Originally Posted by Steel General
Scan it!
Scan the maps. Now I know its a pain in the butt, but I do it all the time. With a flatbed scanner place your map starting at one corner, use light tacky tape to hold it in place, then scan it. Remove the tape, slide the map over with just a slight overlap of what you previously scanned, tape it down and scan it. Repeat until the complete map is scanned then in Photoshop, GIMP or your favorite image editing program create a blank sheet the size of the total map, then cut and paste each piece stitching the map back together again.
You wouldn't want to do this to too many maps, but like I said, I do it all the time when working with my hand-drawn maps that are colored and enhanced in my application.
The cheesier way to go, would be to take a digital camera shot of the entire map, but there are many lighting issues and low resolution problems doing it this way.
Oh, and welcome to the Guild!
