Hmm, odd. I re-uploaded the doc file so give that a whirl.

I see step 9 now. Thanks!
Just a heads up for anyone trying this tutorial in Photoshop CS4. Ctrl-Click (or Command-Click for Macs) on a layer no longer creates a selection from that layers contents. You have to click on the layer thumbnail, next to the layer name. The reason for the change is that you can now select multiple layers in CS4.
It's same in CS3, but not earlier versions
Thanks! I've been wondering if I had hallucinated that function back when I was using PS 7 since CS3 didn't do it.

I'll edit this (as I only have CS) to fit the updated versions of photoshop. Thanks for the info.

This tutorial is awesome!
I might have missed it, but what blending mode did you use for the land layer and the hills layer? Right now i have my land layer on multiply and my hills layer on soft light. It looks great, but different.
Thanks!
Edit:
This is my attempt.

The land layer's mode is normal, the gradient overlay on the land layer is at hard light. Yes, the hills layer mode is set to soft light, I also change the opacity and bevel size depending on how I'm feeling. It looks like you didn't do the difference clouds on the mountain layer (got to do it twice) so the mountains look a lil more fluffy but hey, to each his own, right? Nice job and glad you liked it.

Ah! My mistake, i threw the gradient overlay onto the base layer. Thanks again!
I think I've done something wrong. For Step 37 your tutorial shows the the shape of the continent and the colours/features within it and a the cloudy-light-effects thing on the outside. Mine however just shows black on the outside and I've got no idea what to do. If it makes any difference I'm using Photoshop CS. Has it got something to do with opacity? I'm sorry, I've probably missed something really obvious.
