    Unfortunately not. There are other programs that you could import the terrain into, like Wilbur, and have it generate rivers for you (based on a height map) but I find that they make the rivers too straight for my liking. You make like the results, however. So it's back to the drawing board, literally, and just practice until you get used to it.

    Inkscape has a tool to do this called "Fractalize", and I believe someone here has written a version of it for The GIMP, but not for Photoshop.
