"I don't think I've ever heard of a brcye cracked version"

• Yup, I have seen cracked versions of Bryce since at least version 4, and every version since, and yes, even now including the free version, lol.

"I can't use GIMP...it's nothing at all like PhotoShop, it's so alien I just can't use it."

• I have totally agreed with that opinion over the years as once in a while I would install Gimp just to take a look at it and yeah, weird/alien compared to Photoshop. But, I would have to say these latest versions of Gimp are much more like Photoshop...not exactly but much closer.

What I am going to do is to post a hopefully short and sweet "how to" on how I did that bump map. I say hopefully, because I have a tendency to go on and on...and on, lol (and make anything sound complicated). BUT, what I hope will make it more clear is I will re-create the entire bump ritual in Gimp and upload the Gimp file with all its layers, so you can all open it and tear it apart and hopefully say "ah..okay, I get it".

It's actually quite simple with just four layers and is all done with selctions and a mouse. Very basic.
