Although if you wish to use your ‘background
image’ as a ‘scrap -background sketch’ ie a scan of an existing
cave map that you want to include as part of your finished therion output, then
the original image size may be large in extent and some megabytes in
size. I have not done it for a while, but never used more than 200dpi.
Doing this does slow down opening xtherion
and processing considerably, and results in larger outputs, but I don’t
recall the error that Wolfgang describes. (Indeed I don’t think I
have tested the resolution of the bug where background sketches were inserted
multiple times- but I assume it is OK now).

What is the maximum image size therion can use as
background image in map editor?
We use 100-200 dpi
for background pictures. As there is about 100 m per scrap recommended, you may
calculate it easy depended on scale of picture.
There is no any
reason to use too big images because of scrap conception. And too big
background image slows the therion significantly when opening.
