Im having trouble generating interesting mountain patterns in photoshop. Any tips on that?
Also. What would you define as an interesting mountain pattern?
The addition blend mode in Gimp, what would that be in Photoshop? Screen?

Sadly I don't own (and am unfamiliar with) Photoshop CS. I do own Photoshop Elements but only use it for my tablet work, and am not too familiar with it either. What I can tell you is that in GIMP "Addition" is lighter and subtler than "Screen". You might try "Lighten" in Photoshop, not sure.
Here I'm not going to be much help to you, because again, I'm not too familiar with Photoshop. However I'd direct you to check out jezelf's tutorials since he uses some similar techniques in his tutorials as the Eriond tutorial. Also, here's an example of his workflow that he posted a few years back (I'd link to thread but our search filter doesn't seem to be working so instead I've uploaded it directly).
Hope his tutorials are a help to you.

Those mountains look cool! Much different than the ones I've made using GIMP. For some reason the ocean appears overly dark though. Was that intentional?

Just a note -- I relied heavily on this tutorial for Erobelis Isle, which turned out well even though I wound up not using cloud-generated terrain after all.
I also used DonDozone's realistic forests, and relied heavily on help from su_liam and deadshade for getting the Wilbur part worked out.
Hey, I really love your work. I understand that the tutorial is intermediate/advanced, but I keep getting hung up on the cloud effects, specifically were you tell us to rinse and repeat for Cloud 3 and Cloud 4. When I change Cloud 4 to difference, I just get a black screen!
Hi JonK, I'm not arsheesh but if i remember correctly i had a similar problem. You have to create a (click on) "new seed" in the difference-clouds settings for the second (4.) layer.
I think the differnce-cloud-settings were the same for your second layer, and with two identical layers there is no differnce (black-screen). Hope it helps!
