Use cardstock for best results, and use it at the table with your tokens or minis. It’ll print at scale over multiple pages as well. You can also download a program called Posterazor and play around with that, it makes posters out of your images. When you import it, you can print it out, and Excel will automatically tile it accross multiple pages. Start a new book, and import a picture from file. You can print your scaled map in Microsoft Excel. The height and the width should be about an inch. Go back to the marquee tool and select a square. You could enter either one really, it doesn’t matter.Ħ. Make sure you selected the option to maintain proportions, and it’ll enter the height automatically. See the width and height there in pixels? I multiply the width listed there by 2.32, and that’s my new number. The answer is 2.32 so that’s what I’m going to use to resize the map. You are going to divide 1 by the decimal. But we want to make that square a full inch.Ĥ. That’s how big that square is.43 of an inch wide. It should be a decimal, because if it were a whole number, it would be that in inches. You see the W and the H on the lower right of the “info” box? That’s the width and height of that square you selected with the Marquee Tool.
Then go to Window–>Info and make the “info” box appear.ģ. With the Rectangular Marquee Tool, making sure you make it a fixed aspect ratio, and outline along the lines of one of the squares on the grid.
Find, download, and open your map in Photoshop.Ģ.
you can click on the pictures to make them bigger.ġ. You can use GIMP instead of Photoshop, but I do not know how to use it. Now, like the counters and tokens tutorial, I asume you are working with Photoshop for your resizing. If you want to do it along with the tutorial, the map I’ll be using comes from the Wizards gallery for Dungeon Magazine Issue 160. Nice, right? That’s not going to be the map I’ll use in the examples, but it doesn’t matter. Taking a map from the Wizard’s gallery, and converting it to a 1″ playable map isn’t very difficult, and it looks better than some Dry-Erase markers a on a grid… although this may not be the best thing for every encounter… maybe just for the big fight at the end of the night or something… Take a look… So you’ve made yourself some kick ass tokens, but now you want to make yourself some kick ass maps to use them with.
