Using this method you can control where you want the feather and where you want to keep hard edges by using a brush with black / white or gray.

    Ravells could you point me to a tutorial on how to do this? Setup the mask etc.

    Sorry to be a pain.

    Here's my new and improved map.

    Think it looks a lot better then the first one I posted.

    Thanks for all the tips it really made a difference.

    I'm going to call the blue areas marshland. Needs some vegetation, going to play around a bit see what I come up with.

    You're right, not too shabby.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
    -J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)
