    RobA - Thank you! I am glad to contribute here.

    Ramah - Yeah, sorry. For the most part its 99% the same as doing a cut out of a jagged selection. The payoff on using warp is where you can show the distortion of the rising or dropping land, easily.

    Ascension - Yup that works just fine as well. One of the things that makes a good piece of graphic software GOOD is being able to take different routes to the same solution. It is one of the reasons I keep getting my eyes opened by everyone here, you all keep showing me ways to do things that I never thought of on my own. That's saying something when my day job has me pounding stuff out in photoshop all day long.

    ravells - Thank you! I will share what I can as I continue my cartographic adventuring.

    Ummm ....errr... after rereading the thing... my attempt is more of a yawning chasm in the ground as opposed to cliffs as the cliffs as Tom originally intended...even still.. I like mine quite a bit other than the bogus looking top left end... but like I said.. I did this in just a few moments of work...
