Kobold Caves Map Set at Red Crow Pub

[NotRussellCrowe]

Yes, I am using the “Save for Web” option on Photoshop (I am creating the files on CS6). Since I am a complete amateur on image software, having only a basic understanding of tools and option available (and relying heavily on tutorials), I don’t know exactly which is the best way to optimize the files.

When I am exporting the files using the “Save for Web” option, I play with the available options until I get a file size lower than 2MB, so the maps end with a size manageable by most internet connections.

That would not be a problem if I had made the maps a bit smaller (less “combat area”), but I was aiming to end with a huge area where players can move freely – I just hate to DM all the time on 6x6 square rooms with 1x4 squares corridors… lol

I had tested the maps on my FG, and used some of them while DMing, and didn’t had eny issue with them, but not everyone who could potentially use them will have a good internet connection all the time.

I hope you don't think I was attacking you I was just asking a general question of what ScriptJPG did and comparing to my experience with Photoshop. My experiences are on the photography side, not map making, so that's the only side I can look at it from at the moment.

I also can't believe you're working with 300mb source files. Massive!

Never tought that, I was just trying to clarify why I am a bit confused in this process of creating things on PS =)

Scale your image to 100 pixels per 10', set your quality to 50, and use quarter chroma (4:2:0). Should make the file plenty small.

Hey, thanks for the tip!
Now, just one question… where do I set quarter chroma? Lol

When you export as .jpg check the Advanced Settings and you will see it there under subsampling.
