Next-Gen Texturing Techniques
In this demonstration the instructor starts off by explaining the very fundamentals of using Photoshop for texturing. From there he goes into depth on how to set up your high res and low res meshes for rendering Normal, AO, and other Maps.
Once the scene and basics have been defined it's on to the entire texturing process of the self contained scene. Everything from the Diffuse, to Spec, Normal, and even a little Emissive and Alpha Maps. The Main textures created are a Concrete Texture set, Wood, Cloth, Grass, Ground, and Metal. This video has almost 5 hours of teaching and demonstration that will serve as the ultimate texturing resource.

You mention that using Blend If looks grainy. If you hold down ALT and drag the sliders, you can split them for much smoother results.

Old Damaged Pillar was educational and went through the WHOLE process of making a Next Gen game asset, but Rikki really nailed it this time. This video has a lot of commentary through it, helpful pointers and insight and it covers many different techniques just in case you want to try and do something a different way. I'm not exactly new to texturing, but I still learnt a heck of a lot. I highly recommend this tute to anyone who wants to know ANYTHING about texturing.

The techniques and theory are cross application transferable
In the past, i successfully translated the tutorial over to Paint Shop Pro, so i dont see why gimp should be any different
