#1: Map graphical guides tips and tricks Author: RD_TG_Jager, Location: New JerseyPosted: Tue Dec 22, 2009 6:56 pm Hey All,
I have been away from cc community and recently back into the game this past summer, I played from 1997-2003. At the time I was doing maps, I remember that their where some guides using Adobe Photoshop or other graphical programs. I was wondering if someone still had those documents and also maybe some current mapper’s can share their tips and tricks in doing the excellent maps that they created for the community
Cheers,
Tom

The Campaign Cartographer software seems like a real easy way to make detailed campaign maps for close combat.
