Antique-Style Maps in Gimp
I tried to transfer Ascension's tutorial "Antique Style Maps in Photoshop" to Gimp and here is what I've come up with. It's not perfect and I guess the example is not the best, but I learned very much about Gimp while I was making this tutorial and maybe someone can use some of the Gimp techniques. I tried to include other techniques from various gimp tutorials here in this forum, especially from RobA. Many thanks to Ascension and him
Please feel free to comment and critique. I hope it is okay that I tried to remake Ascensions tutorial for Gimp.

Yes, this turned out quite nicely...
Translating Photoshop to GIMP can be bit problematic, but you've done a fine job of it here.

Sounds like you missed the part at the very beginning of step 4: Grab the select by color tool and click on the black part, and then hit Delete.
Once you've done that, only your land should be non-transparent, and your alpha to selection should work.
