Photoshop/GIMP help... anyone?

[RPMiller]

I would be interested as well. I'm working on my western map and would like to have an weathered looking map of the region.

I'll have to figure it out for PhotoShop though.

@ RPMiller,

Here's something that may be helpful to your Old West efforts. It's a Gimp tutorial on how to make a blue jean logo.

The leather looks good and might be something you'd be interested in.

Very nice! Thanks!

Right now what I really need is artwork that will help me with regional and town mapping. I also need to do some buildings both the fronts and the floor plans.

This is an online game so I need colorful good looking stuff for the "wow" factor. I love tutorials so if you find any showing how to create something related to the above please pass it on.

What size images are you looking for? I've made some building and stuff for DungeonForge in PNG format. It's 20x20 which is good for town/village maps.

I can go with whatever. I haven't set myself on particular sizes yet.

Beat me to it cause I was having problems with the server yesterday and it seemed to eat my posted reply.

Attached is a weathered version of the sheet originally linked to, made in GIMP. I didn't follow a tutorial, just played with it, but could reconstruct the steps if there was interest.

I've posted a tutorial over in the how-to forums:

a bit of a WARNING

the rusty paper guide for gimp is for a 8 year old version of gimp that you will not be able to install on Windows 8.1
post #7

and the link to the pdf in post 16 is Also for Gimp 2.2
gimp 2.8 is current and almost ALL!!! of the 2.2 guides will not work
