    Exceptional tutorial!

    Thanks.

    My first run through was painless, not to mention I learned techniques that I can apply elsewhere.

    A GIMP version would be nice.

    Quick question:
    Can I use a premade shape as my continent instead of generating a random one?

    1. Create the alpha channel using my original shape which looks like the "copy merged" pic in the tut (white land mass on black background).
    2. Create the land mass layer by stripping away the black background leaving only the white land mass.
    3. Create the layer background by rendering clouds.

    The only issue I have is the paint layer, which I have no clue how to generate for a shape that is already made. It seems like that step if used to create a random map.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
