Please ignore, I figured it out. The prevalence of the clouds depends on the amount you blur your base layer by (I have a huge image).
Huge kudos to Rob for this tutorial! I am having an issue on Post 3/4 that I haven't found elsewhere in this thread. When I create the clouds layer and set it to overlay mode, it doesn't affect my image at all, even though it is placed above my base outline layer. Does anyone know why this might be? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am up to the sea shape part and when i blur it the image goes red and blue.
I have no idea what im doing wrong.
Please help im also using the latest version of gimp, might be why idk.
I'm having trouble working this tutorial. Every time I start over, it all ends up a grey smudge before I reach post 6. literally no idea what I'm doing wrong :/
Hi SerKharl did you notice the date on the first post ?
2007
this is for a 9 year old version of "the Gimp"
it is almost 2 generations of software out of date
and was for Gimp 2.4
in 2.6 a FULL rewrite was started
and mostly complete in the current Gimp 2.8.18
settings WILL be different
and some tools are IN DIFFERENT places or have been removed or changed
one of THE BIG , VERY BIG changes in is saving images
if you click "save" it auto saves as a xcf format
you need to EXPORT the image to save in other formats
other changes are in the menu
the menu for 2.8 is NOT the same as it was in 2.4

Oh yes, I noticed that there were different versions, believe me. I did manage to track down all the tools mentioned, but the results didn't match, which I assume isn't very surprising considering your words.
Oh well, if nothing else, I've just found another way not to do something, just gotta keep banging my head into the program until I can force it to submit.
Cheers!
PS: I didn't really get anything to try to save, but no matter. I'll keep trying until I can make something that doesn't turn into a smudge
Thank you for making this tutorial, I've been following along with it and am already loving the results.
Thank you so much for this tut. It has helped me get started on working on my first map. Here's hoping I read well enough.
Cheers
