Ok, thanks, i was thinking I'd made them too large the first time for a continent sized map, i can mess with that easily enough, the original generation of them was done in a separate Gimp document at 1024 X 1024 and pasted into the map as a layer. big as ya want 'em that way. As far as blurriness? perhaps that comes from scaling down too far.. Although i did blur randomly over the generated terrain thinking a high level of detail shouldn't show over a large landmass. All that is changeable. I'll post some other ideas for critique.
