Community Atlas - Forlorn Archipelago - Fisher Isle, several villages and surrounding areas
Note I'm not exporting as 3000, just using Irfanview to expand the jpg.
Uhmm..... why? Enlarging the image after exporting it won't add any additional details. That's just extra work from you for no benefit, and extra storage/bandwidth used by everyone. Normally people do it the other way around, exporting it larger than they need then reducing it, because this can help produce a better quality image than exporting directly to the resolution.

CA122 - FRIA 0030 Temple of Selune updated to CC3+
@Quenten :
No, I cannot use these for the atlas. A re-imagination of a classic map (With name changes, a lot of those place and god names are trademarked [then again, many are not, because they took them from existing religions and beliefs]) may be ok, but not a straight-up conversion like this.
Also, you cannot post the original FR atlas maps here, they are part of a comercial product, and even if it is not in sale anymore, those copyrights still belong to Wizards of the Coast/Hasboro. I think remakes are fine though under fair use cluases, unless Ralf says otherwise. I didn't remove any of the .fcw's, because you seem to have posted the converted version twice anyway. Low resolution images of the original maps for use as comparison with updated versions are probably fine as well, but please don't do high-res exports and put them in the gallery.

Ferris Style: Hedgerow Bush Question
It is a limitation of the Symbols Along command. It is really only made for handling a single path at a time, but the single pick option doesn't play nice with macros, so the macro version need to use the regular selection option instead, which also has the side effect of letting people pick more than one path even if the command itself doesn't support it.

My guess? This was probably some early experimentation towards adding raster fills to maps, but never made it to the official product. The fact that FRIA simply ignores these entities makes me think this theory could be right.
Sorry, but it appears @Don V Anderson Jr. had the better guess here.
The full path of the missing image is
D:\CC2\Atlas\FR\Work\HWScan\30042 Golden Mosque 2.bmp. The file name indicates it was a reference image used when working on the map.The result you're getting is simply the image being in a format not used in CC3+ anymore, and the converter converts this to a plain polygon, and you are then seeing the specified fill style take effect (Everything in CC3+ has a fill style, although depending on the entity type, it may not normally have any effect, like on images)
As for raster fills, they were supported back in the CC2 days too, that fill you're seeing there is the old stone fill from back then. It only supported .bmp format though, and lacked proper scaling options.

Community Atlas - Alarius - Seal Island
Generally a nice map, but I am not really sold on depicting the frozen ocean like that. It doesn't really look like an island in a frozen sea, but rather a huge landmass with a weird-looking mountain formation on it.
What makes it even more weird is the existing neighboring map which uses that fill for the frozen edges covering the actual landmass, i.e. not frozen sea.
Assuming an earth-like climate, which is the basis for Niberium, the island is also much to far south to have permanently frozen sea around the island, it's going to be clear most of the year, which then makes it a bit weird IMHO to depict the oceans in a frozen state, as a map is supposed to be usable year-round, but now it only shows a very limited snapshot in time, because even at times where it is frozen over, the edge of the ice will never bee in the same spot week to week.
