Nicely done Neurowiz!
As suggested in the podcast, taking the time to clean up the little bits of extra forrest fill would improve the woods' definition.

Thank you
Yup - my fear was starting to do that and I'd end up another 4 hours of 'cleaning up' (Not counting the 30 min of my life now gone trying to make the area behind the labels look nice... and failing miserably *chuckle*)
I'm off to try and use your tutorial on land creation to make my map of Lord British's Castle and Britain from Ultima I.

I usually just stick with outlining the labels with a contrasting colour:
- select the text layer and in the text tool hit the "Path from Text" button
- create a new blank layer below the text.
- select the paintbrush tool with a soft brush in a contrasting colour
- open the path dialog, and click "Paint along Path".
- select "Stroke with Paint Tool" using the paintbrush on the new layer.
- Adjust opacity/blend modes as required.
