I made the original pattern in ps7 (for the first several maps) and recreated using the same process in cs4 (just yesterday). Seems to work the same in both.

Hey everyone. I'm new here, so bear with me. This type of map is exactly what I'm looking for in a new project I'm working on and I was hoping to translate this tut to GIMP. It seems some of you have had some success in this area and I was wondering if anyone has a GIMP specific tut for this map??? Maybe asking too much, but this is some great work and I would appreciate the help. Thanks!

The majority of the techniques used should be able to be duplicated in GIMP, there are some that be problematic. However, I don't think anybody has actually tried to convert the tutorial (If I'm wrong they'll let us know)

I figured this, but I thought it was worth a shot. I'm still experimenting and making some progress, however slight. Just thought I'd put myself out there and see what I get. Thanks for the input!
Okay, here's where I'm stuck... I'm on step 12 where you create a new layer filled with white and set the Ocean layer to gradient overlay. I'm unable to find a tool in gimp for gradient overlay. There's an overlay command, but it causes the tips of the rivers I drew to be shown. Any help will be repaid with eternal gratitude... and a mars bar. :-)

Gradient Overlay is a Layer Style in PS - there is a plug-in that approximates some of these functions available for GIMP.

Let me make more countries on it and then I will post that screenie for you.

I think we sorted the problem, the noise layer got moved above the country layers at some point. Moving that underneath solved the issue.
yay detectivework!

This is my issue. Same thing, but the noise file is still under the country layers. Any ideas?
