If I develop good ones, I will document and post them. However, I think that neither my initial world settings nor my sculpting techniques are very good yet.
W.r.t #7, I have tried the technique of generating an all sea world and then 'raising' and sculpting landmasses. Campaign cartographer 3 change background how to#
Although a number of blogs and tutorials claim to show/explain how to do this, I have yet to find an explanation that is sufficiently detailed/complete and yields acceptable results.
My desired usage model for FT is to be able to draw the approximate shape, placement and geography of continents and then have FT add lovely fractal detail. I don't consider the extra work a big drawback because I knew going in that I wanted to sculpt my continents by hand anyway. If you are not ok with that, then you are in for a lot more work. 
The landmasses that FT randomly generates all have the mountains strictly in/near their centers. Again, I have found a few extra worthwhile hints, but I am still incensed at having paid $20 for it. From what I have seen so far (which is admittedly not a thorough reading) about 90% of it is literal cut and paste, word for word, from the Help files that come with the products. I also purchased ProFantasy's Tome of Ultimate Mapping. Nevertheless, it can be worth scouring them because once in a while you will find a hint about something that is inobvious and useful. Every one that I have watched generally addresses stuff that I easily figured out for myself already and leaves the interesting or hard questions unanswered. There are quite a few youtube and blog tutorials. Campaign cartographer 3 change background software#
1 & 2 are unfortunate because I think I see glimmering behind the UI and documentation some software with which it is possible to do some cool stuff. Not that it would really accomplish anything, I expect. Well, ok, maybe that is hyperbole, but they would certainly get an earful. It will be unfortunate if I ever meet any of their project managers, as I might be inclined to violence. Actually 'sucks' is much too mild a word for it. I don't have any good answer for you, but I do have some tidbits, several rants, and I am experimenting with the intention of posting solutions if I find them. 
Here, in no particular order, are my opinions and learnings so far.
Interesting that you should post this, as I just bought FT3 and CC3+ and have been trying to do essentially the same thing as you, except that I hadn't gotten to the point of even thinking about using CD (although I did buy it also).
