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

[RobA]

RobA,

While I have you...perhaps you can help with another question. I have been following along with your 4-part tutorial on land making and I am stuck on a section in part 2; the Mountains area...as follows:
My question: Are you saying to copy the image to a new file and then pasting from the new file back into the original one?

Thanks!

Viper-

(Moved the question)

Nope - Copy Visible will flatten all the layers into a copy buffer. Just paste this (edit->paste) to get a new floating selection and anchor it to make it a "real" layer.

No new image.

RobA,

That's what I thought you meant, but the extra letters confused me at first. I am assuming it must have been html code that was in part of the tutorial.

Thanks

Hello,

My first post here. I know it has been said many times in the thread, but this is a really excellent tutorial.
This was my first attempt at using GIMP and I am happy with the result.

The mountains are a bit off, and I did some hand painting for a swamp because I could not get the textured layers approach of the forests and mountains to look 'swampish' enough.

Still, thanks for the excellent introduction to the software, and mapping.
