How to make the smart little trees and mountains?

Yep, you can paint them right in. Of course you should increase the spacing so that they become separated and not one big blob. Gimp uses the image and basically places numerous clones, or stamps, down (even in color) while Photoshop uses a grayscale to define the line-shape of the brush.

I only got Gimp yesterday and I'm rather pleased with it but because of that I have no idea how I set it up to do that, would you or anohter be so kind enough as to explain quickly? Cheers

I can't walk you through it step by step because I know very little about Gimp but the process should be pretty similar to PS. Download a brush set, unzip it, place the brush files in the proper folder (probably something called "brushes" in the Gimp folder), and then start up the program. Once there, choose your new brush and check the brush properties then increase the spacing.

OK Thanks

Basically, every time you select something in GIMP, it makes that selection a brush on your brush pallete. You can see it in the upper left corner of the brushes. You can save a selection as a brush as well, so that you always have it.
