Help with Mapping
Hello, I watched the tutorial videos and got pretty use of using CC3+ and DD3. However, I use roll20 to play games like pathfinder.
I cannot or don't know how to render or save a picture properly for me to use it in Roll20. All attempts test I made ended in failure.
Can anyone help?

You can adjust the image-properties when exxporting as image. Simply right-click on the save-icon, then select "save as", select the desired image-format at the bottom and then press "options" at the bottom right.
I also use roll20, what I have done in the past is make my dungeon map, then save as a Jpeg, then all I have to do is upload it onto roll20. The file type with CC3 is not recognised by Roll20 so this is how you do it.
For example, when I put my map in. The grid on roll20 does not square out the map properly. If you know what I mean. If not I could upload a pic.
When making maps in Campaign Cartographer, the maps are not made in pixel distances. They are made in feet. So when you go to print a battlemap for instance, the print wizard asks you what scale to print at. for battlemap scale it is usually 1 inch =5 feet.
But your Roll 20 system probably measures its grid by pixels instead of feet.
How to fix it?
I assume some math is in order to convert from inches to pixels but I have no idea how to do that.
So when you are selecting a 10 feed x 10 feed area and are exporting it with 5000 pixels x 5000 pixels you end up with 500 pixels per feed.
So the only thing you have to find is how many pixels in roll20 are one grid wich are 70 (https://wiki.roll20.net/Image_Best_Practices_for_Roll20).
After this, create the grid in the size you like and export it with gridsize * 70 pixels.
