Ok, I've had a quick go - not really much time, so with further work, I'm sure it could be done. First I had a look at tutorials like http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=2707
Is this what you wanted in GIMP? I should add - the last two images are on the LAYERS tab
Yes that's exactly it, I'll have another try at it, I must be selecting the alpha channel incorrectly.Originally Posted by jezelf
Thanks for taking the time to look into it, I really appreciate it.
I went through all those tutorials except the last one. I got a bit confused in a couple of places as it wasn't very clear but managed to figure out what it was asking. It was very helpful though, I picked up a few new techniques, which is great as I'm just learning photoshop.
Anyway, ended up with this:

I thing the sea turned out badly, but it's all layered so I can go back and try to fix that. I deviated from the tutorial at the end of the coloured one, using reticulation and difference clouds/emboss to add texture to the land. I also played around a bit with some of the other functions. Basically, I'm still just experimenting with photoshop's features.
Larb, don't change a thing, it looks awesome! The sea works really well with the colors...do up some more
