<p dir="ltr">Gill,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hopefully my post from a few weeks ago will see you on the right track:</p>

<p dir="ltr">I recommend creating your own contours from the ASCII grid, then you get what you want. Probably best to use the vector (.shp) format of the district map for your purpose.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Sent while on the move, apologies for typos.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I wonder if anyone out there can help me with a few tips ?<br>
I am new to Qgis....and finding it very hard to get started !</p>
<p dir="ltr">I am an artist and need to get very high resolution map information<br>
for an installation I am doing<br>
I am familiar with photoshop and ideally would like to transfer map<br>
info. to that<br>
I have downloaded several formats from the Ordinance survey open date<br>
of the area I am interested in (NJ) in the UK<br>
and am exploring vector files for the first time-dxf</p>
<p dir="ltr">Really all I want to do is overlay contour lines on top of district<br>
maps (NJ for the UK) and end up with a very high res version I can print large</p>
<p dir="ltr">Even if I could manage to convert the .dxf files to something<br>
photoshop can use, it would be a start<br>
Also, I have managed to import data in somehow (not sure what I did<br>
!) and can see layers but they don't overlay like they do in<br>
photoshop and I can't get a high res Tiff exported as an image-only low res<br>
I am quite good at learning new programs but this one is so difficult for me<br>
Apologies for the low level query but I am really stuck</p>
<p dir="ltr">Many thanks in advance</p>
