[QUOTE="HALL, post: 3323149, member: 49573"] Alleynbard, The tutorial is awesome, and a lot simpler than the way I have been doing mountains! :D you had made a comment about wanting to add snow caps to them... I captured your final image and did just that. It is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. 1. After you have your mountains down on a New Layer use a soft edged brush, fairly small 3-5 is good, and select your color as white. Trace the ridge of the mountain top. 2. Once traced, use the smudge tool to drag the edges of the now white ridge down the mountain slope. Do this until it looks good to you. 3. Duplicate the "snow" layer and select the "snow layer" that is under the newly duplicated "Snow layer" (ie the original) and drop the opacity down to 75%. With the Smudge Tool, extend the snow a bit further down the slope. this will compose the melting look in a sec. 4. Under the filter select "Artistic" then "Film Grain" raise the "Grain" and "Highlight Area" to 20 and drop the "intensity" down to 0. This will give you the melting snow look I hope this all made since. My brain is a bit fried due to lack of sleep. if you have any questions let me know. Your mapping looks great!
