Reply With QuoteNot a bad job for your first run through of the tutorial.
I spent some three hours on this tutorial and managed to do this skull-continent. I think I'll have to do this again for it was my first attempt at a map and heven't used PS for a long time.

When I look at it now, I've gone a long way in just six daysOriginally Posted by Steel General
does the doc file have images in it? because i can't get them to show up in wordPad and it won't open Adobe Reader.
edit..
ignore my question. I found someone on page 9 had made a pdf file. Thank you for doing that ^__^

It works fine in Microsoft Office and Open Office (a freeware version) but I haven't checked it in wordpad, but I assume that they would not show there. Post number 90 by sleaker on page 9 has a pdf that works fine (I just checked it) and I think Vandy did a pdf as well earlier.

Thanks for the reply ^.^
Looks like a pretty decent tutorial of the basics. I love that you've definitely thought through some of the effects of erosion and how it effects topography.
I've been working on this tutorial today. I only got through step 12 before derailing myself to play with the results. I learned that, if you make the map really big, it gets rather monotonous. Anyway, here's step 12 with a bit of jazz thrown in.

That looks pretty interesting...could almost go cartoony with that. Nice job.

Well, I have to admit defeat... for now anyway. After another 3.5 hours of effort and multiple attempts, I am getting lost in the weeds somewhere after step 12. Too often I am not certain which layer I'm supposed to have selected, and I'm not sure which effect I'm supposed to be placing where. As others have followed the instructions successfully, I can only surmise it is my inexperience that stops me from filling in the blanks by context. I will try other things and come back to this later.
