Crikey! 4,500+ grunge brushes....I only use about a dozen total. Guess it's time to expand my toolbox.
Just can't have enough grunge

Yep-
Here is a bit more on it at CBC Radio:

It includes a 1951 aerial photo (no road or well at that time) and a 3d model. I do stand corrected though, as it is a valley, not a mountain

I like the effect, better than that on the regional map tutorial you give. However, this is not as well explained, and I haven't had the opportunity to view the video as yet.
I gather that you draw an outline, and do some kind of color gradient, but I get lost a little later on, and I'm not positive what the b/w layer is for (maybe for generating the bumpmap that roughs it up?). How do you turn the initial color gradient into the mountains?
Went back and added some text for you, Karro.

Thanks! You've got a well-deserved reputation around here!
What does HTH mean?
Thanks. In all my time of sporadic forum-reading, I don't think I've ever seen that one.
EDIT:
Well, I tried to try the technique today, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong, and it won't work. Specifically, I can't make the Gradient Fill work. I can get a shaky-looking lasso selection that looks like it would make good mountains, I can pick mountainy foreground and background color. I can select the gradient tool and change the settings. But when I click in the selection, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
