Hmm, it worked for me...
Two possibilities:
1) You're not using the latest version of USAPhotoMaps
2) The file size is too big for irfanview to handle (try to keep it under 50mb)

Well, then that's not it...
Is the area that you are making into a bigjpeg completely filled? (IE no holes)

That you've downloaded every tile in the area that is in your jpeg area.
Also you can load it into PS if you want and do the reduction there, I use irfanview only because the gimp chokes on such big files.

Well thanks for those Photo's. I have discovered a new method using google earth so I'll have to use that.
I need highly quality images of a place like Grand Cayman, Google Earth doesn't have them, and I'm not willing to pay for them. Any idea's?...

This is an excellent tutorial. I have wanted to spice up a few areas in the sim for some time now, and now I know where to start. Thanks!

It probably can be, however only for personal use, (IE you can't distribute it when your done with it).

I think I'm haing the same problem as "Pierre"...sometimes it will tell me that a certain file is missing but the few times that I got it to create a jpg for me, it was the right dimensions and size but it appeared as white lines on a blue background? Wait...when I went to grab a screenshot it worked????
