More tutorials would be great, but you might want to check around and see what others have already been written on a subject before spending a lot of time on a topic
I looked around on the tutorials first and didn't see anything on it, nor have I ever seen it used anywhere else; I only came across the idea accidentally while messing with contours and embossing effects - then realized contours could be used to create coastal rings easily.

If there is a simpler way to do it than loading a contour file to a glow effect, I'd love to see it. Could you provide a link?
