Blank 2750 Map help
« on: November 04, 2016, 08:45:23 AM »
Hey gang,

I need some help with this map. I'm using MS Paint for any mods I make to it. Only problem is this: In .jpg form I can't get any good detail when it's blown up. .pdf form I can get resolution but I don't know what or how to do anything.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

You should try another software like Gimp (a free one) and convert the good quality pdf into a good quality jpg/png/...

I've managed pretty decent jpg maps using Paint. It takes some time admittedly and the file size winds up quite large.

I strongly recommend starting from the 2 page spreads of the entire inner sphere, rather than going for the full colour maps in some of the Field Manuals. Black and white is easier to work with.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.
