    to give the floor/wall edge some more "depth", what I do is put a layer between the two. Then select the shape outline, stroke with a largish brush, select none and then blur... this makes the wall appear to have shadows near the bottom and gives depth.

    Yeah, doing the same exact thing.. I think I am on the fence between not doing enough and doing to much of it, if you know what I mean. As I look at the map think I need to take a shot at using the brown and black fade I used on the river bank also to give some elevation to some other areas as well.

    After I mow the yard going to work on another 8x8 so I can practice on the river stuff more, think I will work a larger chamber into it and test this out.

    Thanks
