Simple and pain-free *Hand made* Mountain Heighmaps in Photoshop!

A good render AND an easy technique, that's the kind of posts i like, thanks for sharing! Playing with different contours options seems usefull too, with a round one instead of the default contour it gives an hill feeling instead of mountains.

Hi, I'm relatively new. But I love the results of this method. When I try to create an Inner Glow, however, my whole image lights up. Have you encountered this before?

Sorry for thew very late reply (Several projects, and a couple birthdays the past 2-3 weeks :O ) , but it sounds like you have your shape on a non-transparent layer. I should have specifies that each shape needs its own layer to work properly. ie the Background layer < Continent shape later < Mountain shape layer.
