Hey

I want to make a map in the style of the third tutorial on the list in this link
http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...s-in-Photoshop
Its the one called "Aged, Parchment with a creation method for mountain ranges, trees and trails"
But i find i very hard to follow the steps in the tutorial especially step 1.2 with the "selection set" i didn't create a map using the privious tutorial as the tutorial suggest as i find their are way easier ways to create the basic of the map instead of coping and pasting. Could that be the problem i have with the "selection set" step, as is states that no pixels is selected. I really want the get that old/brownish effect on my map and i even searched google for tutorials on doing that but couldn't find any that fitted the style similar to the tutorial linked to above. Hope anyone could help with a easier or diffrent tutorial or another way of aquirring that look.
