    Default need some tips on how to make natural heightmaps

    Hi all, I'm new here. I recently registered after seeing some amazing maps at the site gallery. However, I have questions regarding on how to make natural looking mountain heightmaps in Photoshop alone. Most tutorials out in the net normally exploit the use of cloud filters but that leads to randomization instead of the desired terrain one wants.



    My first shot at manual greyscale height mapping with gradient map applied but not satisfied with the results.
    I mainly need tips on how to draw sharp peaks in heightmaps but also how to draw more natural terrain effects
    in photoshop alone without the use of existing DEMs and external software.
