I'm very impressed with your map... Thanks for the tutorial

I had some unexpected time off today, so I worked on my first tutorial.

It covers all the basics I used to produce this map, except for endless noodling over details, of course.

I'll admit I'm not very good at writing, but I hope it's comprehensible.
I tried to make it easy to get into, but I don't know if that worked.
Also, it is probably full of typos.

In any case, I'm glad I was able to get this out before my vacation, so I hope it's helpful to someone out there.

The tutorial seems very good, but there's one potentialy majour problem. I don't have Photoshop, I have GIMP. And I'm incapable of purchasing Photoshop for multiple reasons.

Would it be possible for someone to translate this tutorial for use in GIMP?

I have not the rights words to say "thank you" as I would like! I was looking a way to create my island and in this forum (and in this tutorial) my solution! Thank you very much, it's a great tutorial!

great tutorial, but i can get past one point,page 3. Load selection alpha 1, on that point I'm losing it. Deleting threshold1 and loading alpha1 and all goes wrong. At first I have black background,white land, and cloud filter in background. After this part
"Threshold 1": Layer > Delete > Layer,its not working for me.
edit: I solved it somehow,other way around..huh

Would it be possible for someone to translate this tutorial into something for GIMP?

I've tried before and got stuck, I may try again soon ... there are a few steps that have to be completely revamped for gimp because they count on photoshop-specific behavior.

Looks like we need someone who's an expert in both Photoshop and GIMP to do the translation...
