I used to have PS CS3, but my father has that computer now. I'll try out gimp. Thanks.

Ok, GIMP question.
When I did my map in PDN, I made two layers for the land. One with just solid green and another with a greyscale texture. I set the greyscale one to a option called overlay which is similar to a color burn. I see that there are masks in gimp, but those are just alpha, right?
Can I accomplish something similar to PDN's overlay in gimp?
At the top of the layers dock is a box labeled "mode" with a drop-down menu. That drop-down menu has overlay option and more. Be sure to check out jfrazierjr's tut for layer masks, and RobA's tut for artistic regional maps in GIMP. These two tutorials taught me a lot about the basic tools, and gave me ideas to play with.

Learn everything you can from these, and don't forget to hit the little scales under their avatars to 'rep them' in gratitude.
