I've bought the Modern Day Resource Pack and I'm trying to recreate something done in the top left image from the product's page (shown below), where the laptop sits in the middle of the table in the bottom right corner of the screen.  I can't get this to work in RPG Maker because the table takes up four tiles and the computer can only take up one of those.  In the screenshot though, the computer is sitting in the middle of the four tiles.  How do I recreate this effect?

Try shift clicking technique? If that don't work than that image was done via a map making technique called parallax mapping (sp?) Which would require some research and practice to get down.

Lunarea used another program (Photoshop) other than RPG Maker to make the maps. It's a technique called parallax mapping. Remember that screenshots to show off the tiles will always look better and prettier than the ones you can actually achieve if you stick to standard tile-mapping. Of course, you can achieve the same thing if you use another program to assemble the map together.

Thanks for the answers.  I guess I'll have to learn some parallax mapping to get the effect I'm looking for.

Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
