[Award Winner] Eriond - A Tutorial for GIMP & Wilbur

BTW, Koodos to anyone who can figure out where this is located on good ol' Earth

Using a high-latitude location like the Falkland islands really points out the importance of using a good projection. Those islands are really stretched horizontally (a factor of about 1.6, if I've done 1/cos(51.75) correctly) in the Plate Caree projection.

And Kudos to waldronate !! Yeah they were stretched out a few times while I was tooling around with the height field to make them suit what I want to see....still not sure it looks right but am willing to let it stand where it is.

Thanks Jae, it was some work to get them deep enough looking (not sure why though), but I like them too.

Arsheesh, try looking for a tut for FW Tools. It was the one that I used to get the basic height field waaaay back when.
