[QUOTE="SapGoblin, post: 2067624, member: 15645"] The first thing I did was work on the image... Using a few of the files from the RPF and a few from google, it was a little challenging. The only GOOD image of the entire map was scanned from a book and had the center gutter in the way. The best resolution pic I had was of the Fountain of Youth version and only the center part (that Jack cuts out of the larger map)...and I didn't really want the round shape. So I actually ended up combining maybe 3-4 images to make my "combo" map of the version seen in [I]At World's End[/I] and [I]On Stranger Tides[/I]. The result was a pretty decent background and actually better, and better resolution the closer to center of the map you look. I ended up feathering an "unmask" filter on the outer parts to sharpen it a bit there too though. And other than that, a few adjustments to the colors, some dodge & burning, and Photoshop pretty much pulled this part together. The hardest part was lining up the various circles (which seem to be black no some versions and red on others). I also used a feathered-edge erase tool on some of the layers to blend them into each other better. Loading the Epson canvas into my Epson printer via the roll feeder on the back was a whole diff. story. Kind of a nightmare, but beautiful print quality made it all worth it. I opted to actually print at 12.5" wide just to be sure I didn't lose any image. [/QUOTE]
