Mycanum Bay Region

I'm trying to figure out how get convincing "snow" on the tallest mountain peaks right now... I might combine all my heightmaps together and apply some isometric tinting and then tweak that a bit.

Try a palette map on the heightfield grayscale. Just define a palette that corresponds to the elevation you want (hypsometric tinting?)

I think I might want a gently rolling structure to that variation giving rise to foothills below the mountains. Once I have that I'll add it together with the mountain heightmap(using Linear Light mode in PS, I think Gimp just says, "Add"). Before adding them together, the two layers should be scaled using levels so that the sum doesn't exceed 255(at least not by much).

I showed how to do this here using GIMP.
