Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

That could work, I think. I might even have an idea of how to do it, too. I'm thinking, render clouds, delete black (or white), then use the remaining selection to delete the beveled edge of the above map. Hmm... may have to do the bevels on their own fill-less layers, rather than having duplicates of the whole thing... The original purpose of the bevel was to emulate some erosion around the rivers, actually, and not necessarily the coast. I've read a lot of people use Wilber or something to simulate erosion effects, right? Or something like that... anyways, does anyone have any other thoughts on how to "cheat" it in Photoshop?
