Map Alignment woes.

Does anyone know a better way for map and grid alignment than in the sticky? It just isnt working for me I copy images from the pdfs, save them in paint upload them, and then post them. When I do the previously full size maps are now only two gridquares long and so have to be stretched, which, no matter how I do it, throws off their proportions, and screws up align to grid.

You read the aligning map wiki and you followed the ripped map from pdf section? Try disabling the grid on your page before you upload or hold the alt key when dragging the map onto the gridded page. That should stop it from being effected by the grid as you upload them.

It still doesnt work for me. The former;y square grid always ends up ractangular because I have to stretch the map, whether I hold alt or not. Roll20 resizes my maps when I upload them. Is super annoying I stretch diagonal to try and preserve proportions but what I really need is for r20 to keep my maps the size they were when I saved them

Another technique to try is try dragging your graphic onto the Map Layer with Grid turned OFF, or try dragging onto GM layer (and then right-click and switch it to map layer). These workarounds seem to sometimes cause the graphic to come in at the original proportions (such as a rectangle instead of squishing it to a square as it always does on Token Layer with Grid On), though I'm not able to get them to drop in at the original resolution/size myself anymore either. Used to be able to.

The last technique that I know about is to note what the original dimensions then right click on the art asset and choose  advanced (set dimensions) . You then put in your original dimensions to make the map resize.
