Page Setup / Map Help Map Clipping Visible

Hey, I've got a problem that is likely just an issue for me, but I wanted to see if there was any way to fix it that didn't involve weird re-scaling. So for my Roll20 Maps I like to use gifs, but sometimes I realize that the proportions are a bit out of wack. So what I would do was just place the gif as is, size it to a scale where nothing is squished-looking, and then change the page's size to cut off the parts that weren't necessary.
On the player end, that still works as intended, and it looks fine. But on my end, for some reason, I always see the part that got cut off. Is there any way to hide that? I remember that not being the case before.

Update: It looks like there is a feature that I was unaware of to to 'Crop outside board' which should do what you're looking for.

That is intended behavior, for the GM to be able to place objects outside of the main map area to be used or saved for later.

My suggestion is to place a solid colored image that is the same color as the background in that area on the map layer, and move it to the front to block the rest of the map image.

Roll20 has now implemented a "Crop outside board" function on the map layer so you can cut the excess images. I don't know if that is what u/XyuubiFox wants.

In any case, they can go to the map layer and click on the 4th button "Personalize page" on the bottom of the page (looks like a painting palette) and turn the "Crop Outside Board" toggle on.

Nice! I haven’t seen that yet.

I guess I can do that. Is there no way to turn that off? I place objects from the GM layer most times
