Tiamat Map size and export options for use in Roll20

I am very new to Roll20, VTT's, and using the computer to aid in my GM/DMing, but I am picking it up quickly. I have a couple of questions, please be gentle. What should my map size be when making a map in Tiamat The Tile Mapper (rows/columns?) for use in Roll20? What is the best Tiamat map export option for Roll20? Thank you.

It doesn't matter. Just make sure you know the size of your map in squares (looks like Tiamat uses 6x6 square tiles), and set your map in roll20 to that size. When you drag in your map image to Roll 20, be sure you are on the map layer. You can then right click the map image, choose advanced-> set size (I think that's the name) and, making sure you are on units, put in the size of your map in squares. Then just move the resized map to align to the upper left corner and you're ready to play.
Thanks The Aaron, I will give that a try. I actually figured out what works for me, but in my excitement forgot to post what I found. If you want to use a map from Tiamat for Roll20 choose the "Tiles Only" option when exporting. Then upload the tiles to your Roll20 library. When you drag the tiles onto your Roll20 map layer resize them to 6x6, assemble your map, and be happy. I'm very excited to get my Tavern/Inn 1st & 2nd floor finished and into Roll20, I will then be adding dynamic lighting. I will be subscribing, just not sure at which level, Roll20 is worth every penny.
