If I remember correctly you have to add the other 4 lights manually...though I am not 100% sure on that one.

Ok, i will try.
Next would be item #30, since i skipped the lighting for the time being.
I click the reef, ctrl-click the base and try to do a select- > inverse, but it is grayed out however.
Nice, ok, the little light bulb creates more lightbut is there supposed to a a brighter light in the center of the texture ?
Ok, fixed this, just redid it and made sure the intensity for the omni was at the same level for all of the points.
Still cant select inverse however.

Is your base layer black sea and white land? It should be white land and clear (nothing) for the sea. That way the step will work. If it's solid black and white all you end up selecting is the entire image and thus no inverse is possible.
To get rid of all of the black on that layer do this:
1. Click on the base layer to make it visible.
2. Select > Color range = use black with any amount of fuzziness.
3. Hit the delete key on the keyboard.
4. Deselect (ctrl-d).
5. Hide the base layer again by poking out it's eye in the layer palette.

Ok, some great progress, thanks allot.
Line #55, for adjusting colors for the land.
I am not a great colorist, but have found and ok palette template for blends. However i am, having an issue with a combination of proper blend modes, brush hardness and proper color selections for the areas to adjust.
Any pointers here would be great, thanks again
I have attached what i have so far ..
Use big airbrushes, use no more than 20% opacity on the brush...build up the colors instead of plopping down a big blob, and for color inspiration look at some real satellite shots from Google Earth or Flash Earth. Oh and make sure that you don't paint out into the ocean. The finishing touches of a map and color tweaks are open for loads of experimentation so do as you see fit. It doesn't have to look like mine, it just has to make you happy.

Ok! just a few more steps to go.
#55, crunchiness to the MTNs
a few questions here.. when following the directions for this, all it really looks like is a static white film over top of the mtns and hill regions
as for the hills, early on in the tutorial we created hills layer but never used it? and now we are creating more hills. while the big hills look great, the small hi8lls look the same as the big hills?
just need some help with the crunch, and hills thanks
Something is messed up...my version has big hills at 58 and crunch at 59. The original hills layer gets finished in steps 43 and 44. Lemme do some checking. Even more weirdness...my original doc file downloads as something called attachment.php. I'll reupload the file...wonder how it got changed. Ok, it's reuploaded...hope it helps.
