Looking at your maps, one thing that strikes me is your use of font sizes. I think they would have a much better visual presentation if you spent some time normalizing font sizes.

For example, on some maps, the labels for locations are as large as the map/area title itself, for example your Danger Hills map (I assume danger hills is the name of the entire area. If not, the map should have a proper map name.)

In other maps, for example the Traraise Faire Caves ground levels, features have different sizes, such as area 2, redoubt, having a much larger size than the rest. Western Hill Fort also have some of these, some buildings have larger labels than others.

Generally, maps looks better with a consistent visual for the text size, ensuring that all locations of the same type (like numbered locations in a dungeons, buildings, etc) have the same size, and with labels covering larger areas being a bit bigger than labels for individual locations, with map titles being the largest of them all.

As Sue says, it would be nice to see what you are after. CC3+ can do a lot, and personally, I never post-process in an image editor, but it is often a manner of choice. People very proficient in PS or GIMP and new to CC3+ often resort to doing it that way because they find it easier to attack from the known angle rather than learn something new. And while CC3+ have lots of options, there are also some task an image editor can do better/easier in post, although I find these few. But knowing what you are after is important, 'clean up' isn't a spesific process, it is just a general term than can mean just about anything.

What size of image are you after here? 300 dpi by itself doesn't really mean anything without also knowing what dimensions you need.

And here's @JulianDracos' entry. Thanks for taking part.

Unless I've miscalculated, this is the second to last one. I am only missing Quenten's entry, but he have sent me a bunch of other maps, so I'll handle it when I get to those.

Check this FAQ entry, it should help you:

And today I present this great contribution from Ziggycan. Thanks for contributing.

It looks to me that the wall has been turned into a smooth poly? Trace do have problem following smooth polys because the actual shape of a smooth poly is calculated from the nodes, and not actually going through the nodes. It does some attempt at a simple approximation of the main shape, but that rarely works out for complex entities.

Looks good. But yea, it's kind of wrongly shaped. The building is also a 3-storey building, so I would expect some visible stairs somewhere going to the other floors, even if not mapped.

Also, since this is an inn, shouldn't there be some kind of reception/bar to find the innkeeper? Or maybe you left it out intentionally.Or maybe I am blind.

When you install CC3+, it asks for the location of your data directory which you can put wherever you want, but the main program will always be installed to c:

However, it is the data directory that consumes space, the main program install is only about ~50 MB, even after installing all the add-ons, so this shouldn't even be noticable on your SSD space.

The installer should find the data directory automatically during installation. Are you installing the correct version (i.e. the CC3+ version and not the older CC3 one, from your description it sounds like you may be trying to unzip the CC3+ compatible support files for the old tome instead of installing the proper full CC3+ version).

I was looking at this for processing, but I noticed you've used a nonstandard compass rose. I need you to replace this with an atlas appropriate one.
