    Default Gimp Tutorial

    I followed the Gimp tutorial (at least up to the adding tiny details bit of it) and this is the result. I am pretty happy with it.

    I noticed there were quite a few steps where Gedde assumed people knew where effects were and didn't clearly explain when certain things needed to be hid or unhid (selected or unselected, as well). I was able to get through it pretty well with my experience in the program, but I think it would be worth revising with a few clarifications. I may try to get around to it, with Gedde's approval (I am new and don't want to step on someone's toes). I am really happy with my results and can't give Gedde enough praise for the tutorial (as I would have been lost trying to replicate Ascensions original tutorial into GIMP).

    Praise Thanks A Lot!!

    Hello, Ascension.

    I have one main comment for you concerning your new tutorial -- THANKS A LOT!! As If I don't have enough tutorials I wish to do, you go and post another one that I just MUST DO!!



    Serioulsy, thought, thank you so very much for taking the time to write and post this excellent tutorial. I most certainly will be using it to create Atlas style maps.

    Great work!

    @Vandy - You may try something with 'Threshold' (if you have it), not sure if that will give you the same effect or not.

    It should, threshold is actually how I do my coastlines. Just fill with black then do clouds > difference clouds >threshold. Then tweak threshold to get the shapes you like and piece them together like a puzzle (it helps to select the color you aren't using and delete it).

    Is anyone having a problem viewing the pics in the doc file in Open Office? Sigurd tells me that the JPGs are OLEs...whatever those are

    First post. w00t!!

    This community looks great, and Ascension's tutorials are clearly a huge part of the reason why. So much generosity is both humbling and inspiring.

    This atlas tutorial in particular is a wealth of excellent information, and just to my taste. I'm going to work my way through it this weekend and, if it succeeds, will post the results. Thanks for such a wonderful gift.

    I've just glanced over this tutorial, and I can tell it's one I'm going to *have* to try out! This style of yours really appeals to me. Wonderful work!
