[Question] Easier way to line up image for tracing?
Not really posting this to complain, mostly seeing if anyone has some tips for inserting images to trace over. Like say you took a screenshot of your map after making the landmass, you want to plan it out before adding anything to it. So, with your screenshot, you add in roads and city locations, etc, not just to have a plan, but in case CC3 crashes and it's like "thankfully I made this".
I basically did that, I inserted the plan map as a trace over. I did get it in, but I lined it up just a tiny bit off. The issue with making a Trace Over Image is that annoying box part, like I wish there was a way to only insert the landmass of the plan map and not have the water or the white void.
Is there an easier way? Or is it mostly a trial & error guessing game if trying to line it up just right?

To avoid the map background, you can also make the background transparent in the image editor and save it as a .png, CC3+ handles images with transparent sections (although you still have the "box" when placing it)
An easier way to plan things is to add a new sheet called SKECTH, or some such logical name, and draw stuff on that. SKETCH can then be hidden or deleted when you finish the drawing.
