Reply With QuoteThanks for the tutorial. However I am running into an unexpected problem. Not sure if I have missed out a step, but I keep getting contour lines around my mountains. Pangshu2.png
Can I request some assistance on how to remove this?
Hmmm.. I'm not sure. I'll go back and check.

You just need to feather out the overlay layer. These are a result of 8 bit quantization.Originally Posted by Khadrim

Ahh, Thank you. No more countour lines and the mountains blend in much better.
I had some minor issues, because I forgot to Emboss the entire layer, I was at first embossing just the selection. I got better results first embossing the selection, THEN the layer, then 50% grey bucket.
I also filled the original "Mountain Copy" layer with "Bark", and it gave it a nice brown texture.
Thank you for this tutorial, it is still helping people. I am a little lost, but I am trying.

I'm having trouble beveling the rivers, can someone help me, please? How exactly do I do that?
Thank you!
The normal way to give a river a bevel is to blur it and emboss it, them change it to overlay mode. There is no rivers in this tutorial, however, are you referencing something else?

Amazing, a wonderful tutorial, and for gimp. Love it!
I need help quickly. So I am following the steps. And at step 3 when I use the Gaussian blur, it keeps the hard edges of the selection, I did make sure to (select>none) so I am not sure whats going on, any help?

Do you have a visible duplicate layer? If so try making it not visible and see if that fixes it.
