Hey folks, I'm going to be trying out mapping my city for PZ. I've got a drawing tablet on order to help me try to draw some of the diagonal and weird streets and also once I start drawing dirt and grass splotches.
My question is what order do you experienced mappers do things to make it easier for you? I've got color swatches in Photoshop Elements 6.0 for all the PZ tiles and I've got the reference picture from google maps overlayed and transparent while I trace over the streets. Unfortunately I think that with my Photoshop there's no way to turn off antialiasing for any line shapes I draw diagonally so I have to trace them by hand with the pencil tool. Maybe I'll switch to Paint.net but I am much more experienced with PSE 6.0.
Then if I'm correct, once I save the BMP file, I load that into WorldZed and it'll turn it into a map? And from there, I edit it with TileZed?
Thanks everyone.
