Before I begin adding detail to the land, I was wondering if anybody had some specific tips on tools and processes to creating various elements that can be found on world maps?? Things like mountains, rivers, etc...

Lose the Emboss... >.<
And those edges look too smooth to be the jagged coast lines of real life.

Just play around with brushes on low opacity, size, & flow to try to make terrain.

For water, use the pen tool to make "smooth" water ways then stroke the line? XD

Settle down over there Aqua, Lol.
Those were mainly the way I was planning, but I thought that there might be some shortcuts. I guess not.

Thank you. I will have an update soon.

Update: Removed the emboss
