[Award Winner] Creating Realistic Coastlines

[Vandy]

Hello, All.

I've linked the "Creating Realistic Coastlines" tutorial by OldGuy and PDFized by jetmore.

The link can be found in the Tutorials in PDF Format thread on Page 1 and in the "Photoshop-Related Tutorials" section of Post 2.

Enjoy.

Regards,

Here is what I did with your tutorial and Chucks Photoshop Mapping Tutorial (Just using difference clouds and thresh hold) On the making a realistic coastline, I kept my white land mass layer on top and the black below and then:

* Filter | Noise | Add Noise (gaussian, monochromatic, set to 100).
* Filter | Blur |Gaussian Blur (set to 2).
* Merge the layer onto the black layer
* Select Magic Wand Tool, click in the black it will give a slight buffer around the area you intend for your land mass.

Then I inverted and then inverse and used a brush to paint in the inverse selection with white.

And that comes out to the picture below.



Its larger just had to use photobucket which resized it.

Just thought id share this info i stumbled on while using this tutorial.
