Make an Easy Way to Crop the Top and Left Side of Large Maps

I've run both Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Dungeon of the Mad Mage and there are some sizeable maps in there. Add to that that I've had to customize some of the maps or merge them together and put tons of extra tokens on there. This makes for a VERY unwieldy, slow-loading, slow-moving, map. Some of my players don't have the computers to handle it. HOWEVER, I don't need the ENTIRETY of these massive maps. It's easy enough to crop stuff off from the bottom or right side of the maps--just change how many cells/units there are in those directions--but there's no good way to crop from the top or left. One might say, "just move the map tiles on the map layer up and left" but that still leaves all the dynamic lighting, doors, token placements, etc. that need to be moved separately. Can't we figure out a way to handle this? Perhaps within the page settings it also asks how many cells off the top you'd like to remove after it asks for the height of the map? (I dunno. Sounds awkward but I'd really appreciate it.)

Hi JW the Untitled,  What you are doing is not cropping, it is reducing the size of the canvas to the point where the entire image is not displayed.  I *think* something like that is possible via Jumpgate, I would give Jumpgate a try, see if it can do what you want. If not then post in the Jumpgate thread  to indicate what you need. Jumpgate is no longer top-left justified. But with that it is infinitely big in all directions. However, there should be a way to narrow the page size and then move it to where you want.  Edit: I tested Jumpgate and no, it appears to be still top-left justified in the page dimensions zero point. I would definitely post this in the Jumpgate thread so that the Devs can see your need.
I'll do that. Thanks.
