There is a way to make your region more life-like. Import the grey-scale image into photoshop. Then majic want the mountainous areas, or the areas you want to be more contrasting. Majic want with the interpolation high (around 100). Then play with the contrast settings, make sure the sealevel parts still match, or there will be a ridge where you selected. But if you play with it for a while, you can get your mountains ALOT more realistic, without distorting their shape.
