Dude. Seriously. Your video tutorial was the most helpful thing I have seen on the internet as an aspiring cartographer. Thanks so much. I was having some trouble with Ascension's .doc and you cleared it all up for me.

First off, thank you so much for this. You've alleviated so much frustration with layer procedures getting these amazing effects that PS is capable of.
Next, I have absolutely no problems following the tutorial. That's a first.
I mostly lost the ability to draw maps from nerve damage; and tutorials like this breathe life back into one of my favorite hobbies.
Finally, the action method has been giving me a lil difficulty.
I get the error in the image here and I'm not sure what to do.
Any ideas?

I think it's because you layer is empty. If that is the case, cloud by difference won't work.
Adding clouds when the error pops, allowed it to make difference clouds.
Another snag, with mountain layers not duplicating what's on the original layer, then the ocean layer not inverse-ing (thus making the ocean texture appear under the land base, instead of around the map.
I'll keep re-reading the tutorial in case I'm missing something.
Maybe the action doesn't work very well in CS3. If I can't figure it out, I'll just keep doing it the normal way.
That's ok, it's still an amazingly great form of making these kind of Atlas maps.

Hi, Kindari. First of all, congratulations to you for the tutorial and the videos, and to Ascension for creating the tutorial first. They're very helpful, thank you.
But I'm stuck in step 18-b-vi. My Photoshop version is CS6 but the Ctrl+Backspace command doesn't work. So I went to the Menu. Edit > Fill (here is Shift+F5) > Background Color and OK, but the selection wasn't filled with white (White is the Background color, I double checked), however it's still transparent. As in the image below. You guys can help me?

Try using the Paint Bucket tool and click inside the selection. If you click outside of the selection nothing will happen. I use CS so I'm not sure what the variations are between my dinosaur and the new versions.

It also doesn't work, the selection continues without color. By the way, if I fill with black, which is the foreground, the selection gets red, as in the image.

You're working on a mask then. You may have inadvertently hit the Q button and entered Quick Mask mode.

My pleasure, man.
