Article: Ascensions' Atlas style in Photoshop

[CullZeroEight]

LOVE this style and the tutorial is much appreciated! I got started creating my own "atlas"-style world and things were proceeding nicely (at least, for a relative PS novice). Then I discovered that Adobe removed the lighting effects in PSE 12! Obviously that's a key in getting the look of this style. DREAMS CRUSHED!

Oh well, I may try and fumble my way forward anyhow and see if I can accomplish it with some other methods.

Just found this tutorial through reddit, and it's great! Just one question though. I'm sort of a newbie to photoshop and mapmaking. I've already got the basic outlines of some landmasses that I want to use. I'd like to make their coastlines look more realistic and add all the details found in this tutorial. How would I alter these instructions so that I don't have to use randomized land shapes?
