CC3, DD3 and photoshop - help please! :)
OK...
I bought this program cause of our D&D group setup. We are gonna try something new and this is how it works...
I want to make the maps and then save them to a file and open them up in photoshop and create layers for all the creatures and players and put a fog of war over the top and display it thru a projector. So what i want to do is make the map, then have layers for each monster and trap and go ahead and set them all up where i want them. Then cover the whole thing with a black layer. I will have printouts of the map so i know where everything is. then as they move down the halls i will erase as we go....when they encounter monsters...i will be able to move them as normal thru layers.
OK....THE PROBLEM IS....
i cant figure out how to save the map to open in photoshop so it will show up in high quality when i zoom in.....all i can get is a huge map and when i zoom of course it pixalates and it all turns into big blobs when i zoom in in photoshop. SOOOOOOOOO.....how do i save my map so that my zoom is dynamic in photoshop like say a PDF or just so it will show up in high quality when i zoom in.
i hope i explained what i want well enough for one of you to help me

Go to: View - Display Speed Settings.
Click on Fixed Bitmap Quality: Very High
Click on clear Bitmap Cache
Tick Redaw on ok.
Hit ok
Zoom in on a section of your map.
Export to Jpg like that.
you should get a nice high pixel version that doesn't cause any problems.
Don't know when PF is gonna fix that little 'issue'.
Then again, I haven't tried using "live" maps in my gaming yet, so your mileage may vary.
