I am beginning work on a module whose map I have in eight scans. I thought that I could create a map board for each scan and then stack them together in 4 columns and 2 rows a la PanzerBlitz. I discover that while this mostly works each scan slightly overlaps the adjacent ones but the map boards are butt joints. Consequently the tiled maps do not present a seamless transition form one to the next.

Is there a way to specify an amount of overlap to use when mating boards or is this something that must be done to the underlying scanned image?
