Lockz Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hi I'm making a map for Dungeons and Dragons using a rather large resolution. 20,000x13,332 @ 300 pixels per inch. My max zoom is @ 164% when I try to just it further the Zoom percentage increases but the image doesn't actually zoom. Which I'm having a hard time adjusting small details with, any ideas on how to increase how far I can zoom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Version 3.5.x has a limitation in that (image size) X (zoom level) cannot exceed ~32,767 pixels on either side (width or height). 20,000 x 164% = 32,800 pixels. So it sounds like this is exactly what you're bumping into. Version 4.0 completely removes this limitation (sorry, it's not available yet because it isn't done).

Ego Eram Reputo Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 @Lockz: I recommend you seriously consider making the map in smaller segments. You could use two halves (at 10,000 x 13,332) or even four quarters. The reason is that the memory overhead for such a large image is going to quickly overwhelm your system. Roughly, your very large image is going to need 3gb of RAM + 1gb for each additional layer.

pdnnoob Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 If you do take EER's advice (I highly recommend you take it...), it helps to make your map pieces overlap a little on the edges so it's easier to make it seamless.
