You might want to look at adding a bump-map to that as well. (To do that manually in Gimp copy the original map to a new layer, and create an additional empty layer. Fill the empty layer with plasma (Filter -> Render -> Clouds -> Plasma), then select the copy of the map, blur it and choose Filter -> Map -> Bump Map and use the plasma layer as the bump map.)

Next, select by colour to select the borders and capital-dots on the original map and cut these parts away from the copy. Delete the plasma map.)

WOw I didnt follow that at all. There are some GIMP threads here that you might want to look at. Click on "search" in the upper right of this forum. I think GIMP in the titles of the threads will get you a short list.

I have a few steps that will do it in GIMP quite nicely. And one of the people here even made a scheme script-fu of it for me. But I still havent gotten it to work in a batch mode which is what Im really wanting.

If anyone is REALLY into GIMP Id rather see someone tackle the map generators that are in gimp already.
