    Okay, this recipe creates a cliff effect which is transparent so it sits on top of whatever texture you like. In the example above, it was sitting on top of my "dirt" layer but I could have just as easily had a cliff made of grass (and did before I took to the grass layer with an eraser).

    - Make a new layer and set its mode to "Multiply"
    - Head into your layer effects and give it an outer bevel with the following numbers...

    - Make the gloss contour on the bevel something close to this...

    - Now simply draw on your new layer in white and a cliff will appear beneath your brush. It works best with a raggedy, bumpy edge to the cliff so I suggest a small brush and enough coffee to make your hands shake.

    If anyone tweaks the numbers and comes up with something better or just usefully different, let me know.

    PS. I do believe I've worked out your attachment system!
