So I think you should firstly rework a little bit your reliefs.
This is my biggest hurdle. I cannot seem to get the process to work right. I look at the tutorial and the relief is so much better defined, I ALWAYS get this sort of trench thing on the mtn base; no matter how I work it, it never seems to match RobA's screen shots. As for the grey, yeah, you're right; hafta go back and re-design that.

There is a lot of hand painted detail, like the deltas, beach area and rivers/lake. All done after the finished layers. So I'd have to do an almost complete remake. But no big deal - it ain't like i got a deadline or anything. And as I'm sorta-psuedo-semi-retired, I got a lot of time to spare.

as they say: back to the drawing board..err, screen.....
