Antique-Style Maps in Gimp

[Candacis]

I tried to transfer Ascension's tutorial "Antique Style Maps in Photoshop" to Gimp and here is what I've come up with. It's not perfect and I guess the example is not the best, but I learned very much about Gimp while I was making this tutorial and maybe someone can use some of the Gimp techniques. I tried to include other techniques from various gimp tutorials here in this forum, especially from RobA. Many thanks to Ascension and him

Please feel free to comment and critique. I hope it is okay that I tried to remake Ascensions tutorial for Gimp.

Looks good to me. Remake anything you want, that's what they're there for.

Gorgeous map! Very nice job.

[Steel General]

Yes, this turned out quite nicely...

Translating Photoshop to GIMP can be bit problematic, but you've done a fine job of it here.

[RobA]

Nice results too. I like the compass rose

Sounds like you missed the part at the very beginning of step 4: Grab the select by color tool and click on the black part, and then hit Delete.

Once you've done that, only your land should be non-transparent, and your alpha to selection should work.

Ha, I've missed a piece here and there doing tutorials. Glad you're unstuck

Ah! Thankyousah!

This is awesome, thanks alot man! This'll be the first digital map I've made, and I hope it'll look good. I'll post a picture when I'm done.

Thanks again!
