I knew you'd find a solution!
If you can import Photoshop or Photopaint files I can upload an overlay at the apprentice website for you to drop on top of your map. It's scaled to fit a 4800 x 6000 pixel map, with a scale of 200 = 5 feet.
I also have it resampled and scaled to support a hex that equals 3 feet.
Here's another method:
If you go here: http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/ you can set up your own size hex grid and save it as a PDF. Much to my delight if you open the PDF in PhotoShop you'll discover that it has a transparent background!

GIMP Has Hexes Built In
I think this is a lesser known filter in Gimp, but it's one of the defaults, and it allows you to build perfect hexes for overlaying on your maps:
Filters -> Distorts -> Mosaic
Then use these settings (Tile Size is the size of the hexes, and Tile Spacing adjusts the width of the lines):
