@bryguy-
Don't use image->mode->grayscale
Use colours->desaturate
Then use colours->auto->stretch contrast (you might have to apply a small 1-2 px blur at that point if the histogram has too many gaps and looks like a comb) otherwise you will see banding when you bump map.
And re:grunge brush... I can't remember how it fit into this conversationSorry

ok thanks
lol and i just asked about the grunge brush cause i saw someone mention it...
edit:yea im using layers, and i had it selected, but apparently i was doing the wrong thing@bryguy
Are you using layers? Usually when you are working on a specific layer, it doesn't change the whole image. And if you still have the mountain range selected, it should just apply any changes to the selection anyways. Weird.

And now you see why RobA is the resident guru. I never considered you were changing the image to Greyscale.
