[Award Winner] Using GIMP to Create an Artistic Regional RPG Map

[Korash]

No, just the current layer. You can't blur a strict black and white image since it is either black or white. There is no where to put the various shades of grey it would need to complete the blur. Thats why it needs to be converted to greyscale as Rob said.

But then if I have created the layer "Land" as described in the tut, and then did my trace in black on that layer, filled the trace, and then inverted the colors, as well as ensured the Land layer is current, I should be able to get the blurs?

'cause that didn't work

[Edit] OK guys I figured it out = the first time I attempted the tut the top said RGB and then I inserted the tif, which was "indexed" and not "blurable" Once I made the BG RGB as RobA described it all came up roses. Sorta speak

Thanks for the help guys
