How to redraw this terrain in paint.net?

[strangefancypants]

how can I redraw the terrain of Britain in a quick manner? I'm particularly confused on drawing the mountains, and the blending of the terrains.

Hello @strangefancypants and welcome  

 

You could 'select' the shape of England and then apply the Planetoid Plugin and play with the settings.

 

I recently made a map and found these brushes great for the mountains.

Hi Pixey and thanks for the reply

The planetoid plugin doesn't achieve the look I'm going for, is there any other way?

Actually, there is a tutorial that you may want to peruse:

I'm specifically looking for how I can copy the exact terrain of this England onto my England. However because of map projection distortion it overlays like this. I want their exact terrain to fit my shape basically. Is this possible in Paint.net?

@strangefancypants  You want to fit the green terrain over the white map?

 

Personally I would...
1. Install Gridwarp.
2. Copy the white map to the clipboard.
3. Change to the green terrain layer.
4. Right click and select 'from clipboard' as the background option.
5. Stretch the control points as best you can to cover the white map outline.

 

Good luck, I really can't see a better (simple) way to do this within Pdn - but interested to see other suggestions.
