Hi gang!

This set :

 
Set No: 40504  Name: A Minifigure Tribute
* 
40504-1 (Inv) A Minifigure Tribute
1041 Parts, 2023
Sets: LEGO Brand: LEGO House

Contains a rather nice map on a stickersheet

 
Part No: 40504stk01  Name: Sticker Sheet for Set 40504 - (10102738/6433128)
* 
40504stk01 Sticker Sheet for Set 40504 - (10102738/6433128)
Parts: Sticker Sheet

I would very much like a high resolution scan of this, please

My plan is to photoshop/move the "x marks the spot" all the way up to
the nose of Jutland where I live. Then upsize it (as much as the resolution permits),
get it professionally printed, framed and hang it on my wall

This set is not likely to ever get parted out and I don't feel like paying
150-200EUR for a stickersheet. For that amount of money I could just go to Billund
and buy the set

Thank you in advance

Cheers,

Ole

Someone on the danish LUGNET forum told me to look in the manual for that set!

With a bit of trickery I managed to extract the map in a nice high quality

Now, I just need to move the cross

Cheers,

Ole

How is this saved as a .png since it doesn't degrade when saving over and
over like .jpg

No. I saved the edited file as a png, it will not degrade as much as a jpg does
when saving it over and over and over again.

Attached is an extreme example, you would not want to use this for much.

You two are clearly much more digitally smarter than me

Am I doing something wrong or is there there something I could do better?

I got the image in the resolutiuon/size I want. I can move the cross and red
steps with photoshop, no problem

You are not doing anything wrong. When you go to do the edit, I would recommend
saving it as a .png instead of a .jpg

No, but images are reduced to 640 pixels in width if they are bigger than that
(AFAIK, height is not limited).

Even better... When you have a vector file, let it remain a vector file.

It can be printed sharp at any size

True, however BL does not allow scalable vector graphics (svg) files. An, sometimes,
when converting from jpg/png to svg some colors may be lost.
