The latest version of wilbur seems to now have a river tracing feature...

setting it to a solid background with white rivers, then Texture > Transfer > Texture to height will let you save out a B/W png file that you can use to mask/cut out rivers.

EDIT: Holy crap on a stick! This dumbs down everything I just did! Thanks for pointing that out. Well, now what? Do I go back and reedit the tutorial even though Vandy has been so kind as to compile it into a PDF?

Hi, Chuck.
If you want to edit and repost your tutorial, please do so. I saved the source document as a Word file so it will be real easy to edit in your changes.

Great tutorial, overchuck!! I particularly like the controlled coastline creation method using the burn tool with the threshold layer. Repped and rated.
Alright, tutorial has officially been revamped and dumbed down. Thanks for pointing that out RobA, I was spending so much time on those freakin rivers.
Hi, Chuck.
I'm teaching a class today and tomorrow and am off on Friday. I'll get the PDF document of your tutorial updated as soon as I can, repost it and let everyone know when it is available.

Gary
