I wish there were some sort of "Translate Photoshop Lighting Effects to GIMP Lighting Effects" chart somewhere. Other than that, the Select > Color Range is the only thing that strikes me as an immediate problem.
Haven't had much time to play around with the concepts though and really I am a GIMP neophyte. I'm sure Bryguy or RobA would have those answers readily available.
Wow, awesome! I have Lunar Cell, but find it lacking for anything that may require a close zoom-in. (Although it makes better clouds than I can make on my own so far.)

Having used both programs I would say that the Threshold slider is the equivalent to Fuzziness.

yea i have have the cs4 trial, and so i brought up both gimp and cs4 and tried it out on both, and threshold is the best you can do for it. I would say set the threshold to about 50-100, because most anything higher than that selects almost the entire image.Originally Posted by Steel General

The clouds are awesome. Cool pic.
Wow. Just wow. Awesome tutorial. I repped you for it - well deserved.
Once I have a decent world map to start with, I'm SO making a planetery view of it. Now to get decent results on my continents...
Playing with your continental tut, and RobA's as well, to see what I like best. It'll come in time. <sigh>
Thanks, mate. Don't push yourself too hard to come up with your own style...mine has taken about 5 years to develop.

Just an update. I went through the tutorial using a combination of Gimp 2.6.2 and Photoshop Elements 2.0. While I wouldn't call the results as "pretty" as Ascension's, I was able to pump out a reasonable barren planet picture.
Thanks Ascension.
Hey, looks pretty good. Glad to see you were to able to adapt this and be flexible with it.
