There's plenty of Gimp related info here as well as some Gimpguru's to help you along the way. I hope you find what you're looking for and look forward to seeing maps when you get them done.

Welcome, scytale! I can't add to what others have said except to underline my support of turnung to another app such as GIMP: once you've made it up the learning curve a bit, you won't believe the power at your fingertips (especially with RobA's and others' guidance!)
Make sure to post your works-in-progress, too, so we can all enjoy your work!

Wow, such a warm welcome! I'll add data about MapMaker asap. I just managed to install GIMP (had to download X11 as well, because I lost my install discs. It took a while, but I think I've got GIMP running now. I'm now goning to follow the tutorial step by step and see what I come up with.
Please do! Love to see your results. And if you have any comments, suggestions, clarification or correction, fire them off as a pm or post in the main thread.
