I just resize it down to the size i need. so then its a big picture, resize it to 800 across for large, 600 across for small. with the image that big there is no loss in image quality.
If someone asked me for a small image and I wasn't ready, I wouldn't post it. Because starting with Large first, I want to get the large version perfect, so then I can just shrink it and be done. Posting a small version along with it would be extra work for each update, because you'd have to get a second image together. I'd prefer to just finish the large version, so everyone likes it, and THEN post the small, so its already basically finished.
About the map size limits, those are the actual limits, you can't go past them (to my knowledge) and get a bigger map quenched.



i do the same and when i resize i realize all my work was in vain.

i do a tiny little nice camp fire for AoR2 and when i resize the map i realize it's so damn tiny it looks like a dot and all the details are too damn small to see. :lol: :lol: :lol:
