    I don't quite use RobA's method anymore, maybe you will find the solution I adapted from his slightly easier to follow:

    First sketch out your landmass in white against black, as shown in picture 1.

    On a sperate layer above this generate the noise layer (picture 2) and set it to overlay.

    Select the landmass layer and apply a gausian blur (to arrive at picture 3)

    Merge the 2 layers together (image doesn't look different) then select colour - threshold and move the slider until you get the landmass you like (picture 4)

    Does that make things any easier? (The amount of blur can be varied depending on how random you want your coast to be compared to your sketch)
