Ok, I am new to mapping in general. I recently purchased Fractal Terrains Pro and CC3. So far, they are not producing the maps that I want.

The maps that I like best are similar to Handsome Rob's Western Jalaun (http://www.cartographersguild.com/viewtopic.php?t=394) - what a great looking map!

My question - will the two products I mentioned above get anywhere close to what I want.

Do I need to get GIMP? Bryce? (Can't afford Photoshop).

One of the few things I dislike about CC3 are the symbols. They strike me as fine for a players map but not for a map that is more detailed.

Thanks,

Don
