Summary

I do hope someone can explain to me what I'm doing wrong. I've been editing maps in Sai, just for testing out how the parallax system works, since I've never used it before. This is a picture of the initial map. Spoiler

I screenshotted the map and did some very quick scribbling in Sai to show an example of the problem.


Whenever I set the parallax image, this eyeburning nightmare happens.

And when I try to do the event called "Show Image" alongside the commands of "BindPictureToMap 1 below_characters", this frustrating thing happens.

I'd love to know how to get these images centered over the actual map. I've been following youtube channels methods but nothing seems to be working.
Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
