That's another way of doing it.

One thing to bear in mind is that 8-bit greyscale is insufficient and leaves steps in the gradients, a bit like that app which uses tiny pixel blocks to create 3D worlds. I'm not sure, though whether you need to set it to 16-bit, or even 32-bit.

Since I am not an expert by any means, and know even less about brushes other than the prescale offset brushes, I think that unless you have several backups saved that you might be able to work forward from again, you might need help from someone like jslayton (Joseph Slayton), or one of the other more seasoned FT3 users.

If this is a world you have re-imported back from Wilbur, having done something like CA155 to it, the only recommendation I can make that might help is to go back to the pre-Wilbur FT3 world and raise the lake using the prescale offset brushes at that stage and take it through the process again without the lake from the beginning.

At any rate, I recommend avoiding the tools that increase or decrease roughness. They are pretty difficult to control and can cause more problems than they solve unless you have an extremely light touch.

Are you using tools other than Prescale offset raise and lower tools?

Welcome Kevin!

I'm looking forward to seeing your work :)

My goodness! That looks fun. You make me feel really old, even though I'm only a year older than you are. My limit is a quick walk around the village at the moment.

And to think I used to walk almost as far as Ralf does... about 20 years ago now!
