I found hex map tiles that are perfect for a campaign however the actual image is a square around the hex creating blank space and preventing me from placing multiple hexes against each other. Is it possible to crop out or overlap this negative space?

I'd use something like photoshop.  If you aren't familiar with it then post the links to the maps you are using (if they are free) and I can edit them for you.  I think you are wanting to put the tiles together to form one larger one?

Gimp is a great tool for stuff like this and infinately less expensive than photoshop ;)

Jared, I have been trying to fix my hex map to fit the hexes on the campaign page for about 2.5 hours now (with no luck thus far), but I did find out how to make the hexes created by Jector to fit and lock together pefectly.  If these are the ones you want to use I can help you, if it is some other hex types; Good Luck!

Benjamin, if you ever need help with fitting hexes into the hex grid let me know. Primarily, the set dimensions tool is how I do it.  - Gauss

First I need the dimensions in pixels for Hex(V) vs Hex(H).  :P  So I can a least get it close...

I dont know the dimensions but I do it via the set dimensions tool. I make incremental changes and align the map each time until I get it right. It can be a slow process for a large map but I usually can do it in less than 10min.  - Gauss

Could you point me to what Hex map you are using? I think the Hex (H) is 80pixels and the Hex (V) is 75 pixels, but I'd need to play around a bit more.
