So I'm bored at work... I have Kubuntu 10.04 running in VBox on my workstation, and I've installed Gimp 2.7.1. I'm currently playing with adjusting this tut to make a swampy battlemap...

It's going sorta okay, I imagine I'll probably throw up the results and let people shred it... then take a stab at it again.

As for 2.7.1, so far so good. Single window mode is really nice on a single monitor box, I took a break to post this because Gimp lost access to the Gradient Map script -__-. Other than that an hour and a half of serious work without crashing. Layer Groups is handy... but I noticed if you want to use a layer for bumpmaping or displacing, it needs to be in the layer group your using or not in a group at all.
