Tips for fine-tuning a relief with an image editor:
Spoiler :
It's good to check the map in the game, after making changes,
keeping the editor open so changes can be un-done.
Gently lowering the contrast of an image, tends to make slopes less steep.
Adjusting the brightness changes the elevation of the whole map.
Gaussian blur will round-off sharp edges and flatten some areas.
A blend or smudge tool can be used to paint hills or flat areas.
Also, these images tile seamlessly, so you can pan the image to any spot you like.
