Re: GIMP and maps
A note on the routine used to make the DomMap images alittle more pleasing to the eye. Ihave dicovered that using the SCATTER effect before doing the BLUR makes a much nicer result. Scatter basically takes large areas of a single color (green, blue, tan) and mixies it up abit with sight variations. If I use it at a setting of 8 then the green area becomes a mix of greens within 8 slight variations of the original shade. This works well for adding alittle visual variety to provinces that ended up a solid block of color. Especialy the water.
