Total beginner who is strugling to find the correct tutorial
I have some paper maps from the 90's that I have scanned in as a Tiff file, but can be converted to anything.
My hope is to place the map as a background and slowly convert it to a CC3+ map with layers that can show the original physical and geo-political features and then add in new stuff, such as dungeon locations, more villages and towns etc.
The original map is a hex map that is 65 hexes wide and 54 hexes tall, each hex being 24 miles.
Can someone point me to a tutorial that allows me to set up a new map of appropriate proportions and then to insert the scan onto, I presume, the background layer so I can then start using the Tome of Ultimate mapping as a guide on how to start building up a CC3+ map.
Hope this makes sense.

There is a tutorial on page 94 of the User Manual.
For the map size, it is simply a case of multiplying the number of hexes with their size. Just keep in mind that hexes are wider when measuring corner to corner than edge to edge, so you need to know what those 24 miles of yours actually represent.

Maybe this video will help something. For me, he was absolutely essential.
