Hey all,

Newbie question here.
I’m planning for my first attempt at a start-to-finish digital attempt at map making and I wanted to ask what resolution people tend to use for producing a professional grade (something that could be in a book cover) reproducible map. What kind of pixel dimensions? How do you handle scalability if you use a raster program? I’m going to be using GIMP as it is what I have the most experience with.
How do you all handle this? In the past I have hand drawn, scanned, and then edited, but I want to try one start to finish on GIMP.
Sorry if this is covered before.
Looking up “resolution” in the search bar got me a lot of stuff.
