In the guide I'm currently in, the pictures should his landscape without all the black, whereas mine show black everywhere except the mountain and forest I have made.

I followed the instructions perfectly, yet my picture remains mostly black while his remain normal. I even redid my mountains over again to make sure I didn't miss anything, and yet everything is still black. Did I do something wrote? Is something inverted that isn't supposed to be inverted or vice versa?
