[Qgis-user] How to set lat/long boundaries for a map

[Joe Lertola]

Thank you Carlos and Jonathan,

Both of those methods worked. I was able to export my combined layers as a tiff file with and open them in Photoshop.

What I want to do is crop the map to specific lat/long boundaries and export it as an image file. So far it seems like what you see on screen is what you get when you export the map.
