Hello!
I'm trying to learn how to make bump and specular maps, preferably using the latest version of GIMP, however most tutorials seem to be quite old and therefore do not reference the latest versions of GIMP or S4S. This makes it tricky to figure out what I'm actually supposed to click on, as names have changed. I've also found contradictions between tutorials.
These two, for instance, are contradictory in their steps as to which decomposed layers are copied to where.

sims4studio.com/thread/22601/bump-map-editing-gimp
I tried turning this image into a normal but the end result looks wrong.

After following tutorial:
Can someone please explain what I'm supposed to do? Or share a written tutorial that will work? I have a lot of normal maps that need fixing and I can't do that until I know how.
