Need some help with Cartography. - Guild Wars Forums

Barcalounger · May 22, 2007, 09:13 PM // 21:13

Howdy.. just figured I'd come on the forums to get some help with my Tyrian Cartographer title.

I'm pretty rubbish with Photoshop, not to mention my harddrive crashed so I currently don't have it on here, anyway. If anyone is willing to help me out by comparing a screenshot of my map (any resolution you need) to a 100% map and then sending it back to me via MSN to see where I've missed, then it would be greatly appreciated.

If you'll be able to help me out, please message me in-game, I'll be on Sir Moonshield.

Thanks.

If you look into the tyrian explorers league there should be maps there to help you.

I'll edit my post if I find a link!

There will be, yes.. but I don't need a 100% map. I need someone who knows how to use photoshop to compare mine to a 100%. If you use a setting in Photoshop, "difference", then it will highlight the spots that are different on my map from the 100%, so that I can see exactly where I've missed. It makes it a whole lot easier than just alt-tabbing back and forth.

oh umm you might want to ask one of the people who made a 100% map in the tyrian explores league

Load a 100% map into photoshop. Take several screenshots of your world map. Load them in Photoshop in a new layer (above the 100% map) and compare the clouds - use only the screenshot that matches the 100% map's clouds as closely as possible. Change your map layer to Difference.

These instructions are also in the thread SR mentioned.

Mournblade, he said he doesn't have photoshop XD

I'm helping him out, already sent him a few shots of his maps with areas he needs.

You can download GIMP for free, and it'll do the same job as photoshop.
