&lt;p&gt;It’s important to realize how much your choice of color on a map can affect the story you are trying to tell with your data. As a brief introduction to some theories behind how to use colors on maps, here are three primary scheming designs for mapping data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="sequential_schemes" title="Link to this section"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sequential Schemes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sequential schemes order data from high to low, accenting the highest as a dark shade and the lowest as a light shade (or vice versa). Sequential schemes are best if you are mapping quantitative data and do not want to focus on one particular range within your data.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;img alt="sequential" decoding="async" src="https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/assets/pages/sequential.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="diverging_schemes" title="Link to this section"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Diverging Schemes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Divergent schemes are best at highlighting a particular middle range of quantitative data. Pick two saturated contrasting colors for the extremes of the data, and the middle ranges blend into a lighter mix of the two. This is particularly great for accenting the mean of your data and exposing locations that significantly ‘diverge’ from the norm.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;img alt="diverging" decoding="async" src="https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/assets/pages/diverging.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p id="qualitative_schemes" title="Link to this section"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Qualitative Schemes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you are working with qualitative data, such as ethnicity or religion, you want to pick a series of ‘unrelated’ colors. The trick is to pick a really nice color theme so your map looks great. You can also accent particular aspects of your data by your choice of color. For example, one strong dark color among a group of lighter colors will ‘pop’ out of the map, highlighting that particular facet of your data against all others.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;img alt="qualitative" decoding="async" src="https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/assets/pages/qualitative.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class="summary-item" id="sources-for-color-picking" title="Link to this section"&gt;&lt;a href="#sources-for-color-picking"&gt;Sources for Color-Picking&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fortunately a number of sites are available to explore color themes. Below are links to some of these with a brief synopsis of their main features that will help you more easily navigate the seas of storytelling via aesthetics. The section ends with two reviews of purchasable tools that you can use from your desktop.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class="summary-item" id="0_255" title="Link to this section"&gt;&lt;a href="#0_255"&gt;0_255&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;0_255 is a great site for picking between different shades of one color, so it’s ideal for sequential schemes. It gives you thirty options for any given color, allowing you to instantly copy the color’s hex code. There is a large grid of colors to select from for an initial color, and then 0_255 visualizes a range of shades based on that color. If the grid does not have the color you want, you can pick your own color by pasting in the hex code of your chosen color.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;img alt="0_255" decoding="async" src="https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/assets/pages/0_255_0.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class="summary-item" id="color-scheme-designer" title="Link to this section"&gt;&lt;a href="#color-scheme-designer"&gt;Color Scheme Designer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Color Scheme Designer allows you to select a color from a color wheel and presents several options for automatically generating colors complementary to your initial choice. Specifically, you can choose between:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Complements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Triads&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tetrads&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Analogic&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Accented Analogic&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once you’ve chosen your color and scheme, you’ll have a color table that gives you several variations of your colors and their corresponding hex codes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="colorscheme" decoding="async" src="https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/assets/pages/colorschemedesigner_1.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class="summary-item" id="colour-lovers" title="Link to this section"&gt;&lt;a href="#colour-lovers"&gt;Colour Lovers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Colour Lovers is great if you are looking for a design theme for mapping qualitative data. Active users contribute palettes to the site, and these palettes are searchable, browsable, and ready to be used on your project. Colour Lovers users also post patterns if you need some spatial inspiration as well.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;img alt="colourlovers" decoding="async" src="https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/assets/pages/colourlovers_0.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class="summary-item" id="kuler" title="Link to this section"&gt;&lt;a href="#kuler"&gt;Kuler&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kuler is a service similar to Colour Lovers offered by Adobe. A community of designers submit their own themes, which are available for RGB values and hex codes. The design of the site is a little less intuitive than Colour Lovers, but still worth checking out.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;img alt="kuler" decoding="async" src="https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/assets/pages/kuler_1.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are a lot of great ideas being posted by an active community of contributing users. Kuler also provides extensive links to things like forums, help pages, as well as several articles on the importance of color and color theory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class="summary-item" id="colorbrewer" title="Link to this section"&gt;&lt;a href="#colorbrewer"&gt;Colorbrewer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Colorbrewer is great for contrasting the three kinds of color models mentioned in the first section of this article. It allows you to test out different color themes based on whether you want sequential, diverging, or qualitative schemes and to vary the number of color classes you want in your pallet (up to 12). It also provides some useful ‘further reading’ articles on these theories and other cartographic design ideas.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;img alt="colorbrewer" decoding="async" src="https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/assets/pages/colorbrewer.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class="summary-item" id="pochade" title="Link to this section"&gt;&lt;a href="#pochade"&gt;Pochade&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pochade is a color picking program that allows you to determine the RGB value and hex code of any color you see on your screen. It also provides a few different ways of manipulating your color, such as changing its HSB, RGB, or CMYK values. This program is available for download for $9.99.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;img alt="pochade" decoding="async" src="https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/assets/pages/pochade_0.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class="summary-item" id="colorschemer-studio" title="Link to this section"&gt;&lt;a href="#colorschemer-studio"&gt;ColorSchemer Studio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ColorSchemer Studio provides three main features: (1) a color class generator (up to 254 – many more than Color Brewer) based on two colors of your choice, (2) a ‘PhotoSchemer’, which allows you to upload a photo and determine up to ten different colors on your chosen photo and (3) integration with colourlovers, including a color browser and the ability to load colors into the first tool to manipulate on your own. ColorSchemer is a powerful tool for your desktop, available for the slightly higher price of $49.99.&lt;/p&gt;

										<ns4:encoded>&lt;h1 class="summary-item" id="what-are-field-papers"&gt;&lt;a href="#what-are-field-papers"&gt;What are Field Papers?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As this set of tutorials demonstrates, there are many ways to collect data for use in mapping. For most circumstances a smartphone or a GPS unit will provide connectivity in even the remotest of places but each has its limits. This is where field papers can fill the gaps. Using simple pen and paper, you can quickly draw points, lines, and polygons then upload them to a digital format by simply taking a picture of your drawing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://fieldpapers.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Field Papers&lt;/a&gt;, which was created by &lt;a href="https://stamen.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Stamen Design&lt;/a&gt; and is the update of a tool called &lt;a href="https://walking-papers.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Walking Papers&lt;/a&gt;, allows us to print a map of a selected area, draw on it, add notes to it, and then open it in an OpenStreetMap editor like iD to digitize the drawing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 class="summary-item" id="how-do-field-papers-work"&gt;&lt;a href="#how-do-field-papers-work"&gt;How do Field Papers Work&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/QR_Code.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="QR_Code" class="wp-image-783 alignleft" decoding="async" height="71" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/QR_Code.png" width="73"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;When you print a Field Paper, the paper comes with a square QR code on the bottom of the page.  This bar code allows Field Papers to determine the exact location of the map that you are using to survey.  Later, when you load the paper back into JOSM, all the objects that you drew will be in shown in their actual locations, or at least quite close, which is good enough for us.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1 class="summary-item" id="using-field-papers"&gt;&lt;a href="#using-field-papers"&gt;Using Field Papers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b style="font-size: 1.5em;"&gt;Create your paper atlas:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Locate the area you want to map on the Field Papers website.  Print out a map of this area.  You can choose to print the current map of the area with OpenStreetMap, or you can choose to print aerial imagery, if it is available in your area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open your web browser – this may be Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or Internet Explorer.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In the address bar at the top of the window, enter the following text and press Enter: &lt;a href="https://walkingpapers.hotosm.org/"&gt;https://fieldpapers.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The website should look something like this:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://fieldpapers.org/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Field_Papers_Welcome_Page" class="wp-image-785 aligncenter" decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" height="410" sizes="(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Field_Papers_Welcome_Page.png" srcset="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Field_Papers_Welcome_Page.png 991w, https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Field_Papers_Welcome_Page-300x206.png 300w" width="595"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click on “Make yourself an Atlas.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enter a place where you would like to print out a map, and press Enter.  Here we will search for “Jakarta.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://fieldpapers.org/make-step1-search.php" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Location_Box_Field_Papers" class="wp-image-772 aligncenter" decoding="async" height="405" sizes="(max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Location_Box_Field_Papers.png" srcset="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Location_Box_Field_Papers.png 981w, https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Location_Box_Field_Papers-300x154.png 300w" width="785"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now you are presented with an interface where you can define the boundaries of your Field Papers.  The map that you see shows the area that you would like to print on paper.  You can print multiple pages, zoom in and out, and drag the papers to cover specific boundaries on the map.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://fieldpapers.org/make-step2-geography.php?zoom=12&amp;amp;lat=-6.17149&amp;amp;lon=106.82753" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Field_Papers_Jakarta" class="wp-image-771 aligncenter" decoding="async" height="298" loading="lazy" sizes="auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Field_Papers_Jakarta-1024x497.png" srcset="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Field_Papers_Jakarta-1024x497.png 1024w, https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Field_Papers_Jakarta-300x145.png 300w, https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Field_Papers_Jakarta.png 1919w" width="614"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class="et-box et-info"&gt;
					&lt;div class="et-box-content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;HINT: Zoom In!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Field Papers work best when you are at a very local (high-zoom) level. Since the details in the map are much greater at the local level you can create more accurate drawings. If you print out a page with most of the city in it, you can really only make general features.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b style="font-size: 1.5em;"&gt;Customizing the printed atlas using the following buttons:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The box below is what you will use to determine the size of your atlas including the number of pages and what map features will be printed on each page. Click on the various buttons to see what each does&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Page_Maker_Boxes.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="Page_Maker_Boxes" class="size-full wp-image-781 aligncenter" decoding="async" height="366" loading="lazy" sizes="auto, (max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Page_Maker_Boxes.png" srcset="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Page_Maker_Boxes.png 523w, https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Page_Maker_Boxes-300x209.png 300w" width="523"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/AddSub_Pages.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="AddSub_Pages" class="alignnone wp-image-773" decoding="async" height="39" loading="lazy" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/AddSub_Pages.png" width="59"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.  To add or subtract a page, we can click on the + and – buttons on the map.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Expand_Box_UI.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="Expand_Box_UI" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-774" decoding="async" height="50" loading="lazy" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Expand_Box_UI.png" width="50"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Expand or decrease the area of the papers by dragging the button in the lower right corner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Move_Pages_Field_Papers.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="Move_Pages_Field_Papers" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-775" decoding="async" height="50" loading="lazy" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Move_Pages_Field_Papers.png" width="50"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;You can move the paper by clicking and dragging the button in the upper left corner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can adjust the paper orientation and type of map using the controls at the top. If you are in an area without much OpenStreetMap data, consider choosing the satellite imagery&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Top_Bar_Selections.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="Top_Bar_Selections" class="size-full wp-image-776 aligncenter" decoding="async" height="54" loading="lazy" sizes="auto, (max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Top_Bar_Selections.png" srcset="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Top_Bar_Selections.png 587w, https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Top_Bar_Selections-300x27.png 300w" width="587"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When you’re finished, click “Next.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now you can give your map a name, and if you want, you can add notes to be printed on the map, such as questions you want to remember to answer or specific places you want to identify.  After you fill out the form, again click “Next.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Finally choose your layout.  You can indicate whether you want pages only for your maps, or if you want notes on the same page.  If you choose the notes option, then half of your page will be left for taking notes, and the other half will contain your map.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Layout_Selection.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="Layout_Selection" class="wp-image-777 aligncenter" decoding="async" height="415" loading="lazy" sizes="auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Layout_Selection.png" srcset="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Layout_Selection.png 952w, https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Layout_Selection-300x217.png 300w" width="571"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Notes can be useful for adding place names or other notations that you can add when you digitize your hand-drawn map.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It may take a few minutes to prepare your Field Papers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When your print is ready, scroll to the bottom and click “Download PDF.”  The Field Paper should begin downloading.   If it loads in your browser, you may need to save it by going to File -&amp;gt; Save.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When the download is finished, open the PDF file.  Connect your computer to a printer and print the page.  If everything goes well, you should now have your map printed on paper.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Take your Field Papers outside, and use it as a guide to walk and identify new places that are not on the map.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can also work in a team with Field Papers. If you print our many atlas pages, you will also see a page that looks like this:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/field-paper-Jakarta-Reservoir-example-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="field-paper-Jakarta Reservoir Grid" class="wp-image-764 aligncenter" decoding="async" height="475" loading="lazy" sizes="auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/field-paper-Jakarta-Reservoir-example-1-1024x791.jpg" srcset="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/field-paper-Jakarta-Reservoir-example-1-1024x791.jpg 1024w, https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/field-paper-Jakarta-Reservoir-example-1-300x231.jpg 300w" width="614"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The grid on the front page of your atlas lets you know how each individual paper fit together. If you want to cover a large area it is helpful to work as a team. Each person or small group can take one page and fill out information for just that area. At the end of the day, everyone can meet up and upload their pen and paper edits online to synthesize the work of the group.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Draw lines for roads, shapes for buildings, and so forth.  Write notes about each location directly on the map, or write numbers on the map that relate to numbers in your notebook, where you can write more detailed information about each feature.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/walking-paper-snapshot.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="walking-paper-snapshot" class="wp-image-768 aligncenter" decoding="async" height="395" loading="lazy" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/walking-paper-snapshot.jpg" srcset="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/walking-paper-snapshot.jpg 1000w, https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/walking-paper-snapshot-300x197.jpg 300w" width="600"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When you are satisfied with your additions on the paper map, then you can add them digitally into OpenStreetMap.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 class="summary-item" id="scan-and-upload"&gt;&lt;a href="#scan-and-upload"&gt;Scan and Upload&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Field Papers are very useful for mapping with nothing more than paper, but they are not 100% magic.  We will still need to upload our paper to FieldPapers.org, add our information digitally, and save our changes on OpenStreetMap.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The first step is to scan your Field Paper into your computer.  You can do this by attaching a scanner to your computer, scanning the paper, and saving it as an image file.  If you don’t have a scanner, you can take a photography of the paper, but you should be carefully to take a very good photo.  Make sure that the paper is flat and your camera is directly in front of it.  Be sure to include the QR code in the image, as Field Papers will not work without it.  Here is an example of a scanned/photographed image:&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Once you have your Field Papers scanned and saved on the computer, open your web browser and return to &lt;a href="https://walkingpapers.hotosm.org/"&gt;https://fieldpapers.org/&lt;/a&gt;, just as before.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click on the “Upload” tab at the top of the page.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://fieldpapers.org/upload.php" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Field Papers Upload_Box" class="wp-image-770 aligncenter" decoding="async" height="360" loading="lazy" sizes="auto, (max-width: 603px) 100vw, 603px" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Upload_Box.png" srcset="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Upload_Box.png 914w, https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Upload_Box-300x178.png 300w" width="603"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click “Choose File” and navigate to the file where you scanned/photographed your Field Papers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Click “Upload.”  It may take a few minutes for your paper to upload, depending on the speed of your internet connection.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Processing_Bar.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="Processing_Bar" class="wp-image-780 aligncenter" decoding="async" height="118" loading="lazy" sizes="auto, (max-width: 454px) 100vw, 454px" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Processing_Bar.png" srcset="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Processing_Bar.png 649w, https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Processing_Bar-300x78.png 300w" width="454"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;At this stage, you’ll be able to add additional notes to your Field Paper in digital form. The simplest way to do so is the click on the “Edit in iD” link.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Editing_From_Field_Papers_001.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="Editing_From_Field_Papers_001" class="wp-image-782 aligncenter" decoding="async" height="430" loading="lazy" sizes="auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px" src="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Editing_From_Field_Papers_001.png" srcset="https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Editing_From_Field_Papers_001.png 940w, https://geojournalism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Editing_From_Field_Papers_001-300x228.png 300w" width="564"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this tutorial you learned the process of using Field Papers and how they work.  You learned how to print, map, and scan a Field Paper. Next, you can use iD editor to add the places that we mapped into OpenStreetMap. Check out the next tutorial and you will have learned the complete process.&lt;/p&gt;
