Adding a Grid for battlemaps...

whiskeypriest

How do people typically add the grid? Does anyone have any tips for easily adding a grid in photoshop later? OR adding a grid on top of my cc3 map?

Also, in general, why do my maps look kind of blah when I save them out as jpeg/png? They get REALLY aliased, and lots of extra texture/detail is apparent that isn't there in CC3--at the highest level of zoom, I can see nice little flagstones on the "Basement" texture, but when I export it and open it in photoshop, it looks awful. It looks like a huge mess of lines.
thanks in advance.

adding a grid is easy. Click the grid tool button

Choose "Add Hex/Square Overlay" from the Draw menu to add a grid or (if available for the map type) use the Grid drawing tool button (left toolbar, not lower-right of the screen).

As for the export, make sure you click "Options" and set your file size to be large enough. A 3000x3000 pixel size should normal be enough to get a good export of your map.
