    Method

    Relief shading gives a DEM a more "3D" look. To use relief shading in QGIS, follow the steps outlined below:

  1. Ensure that you have your DEM open in QGIS, and have an appropriate colour map shading. The DEM without relief shading is shown below.

  3. Select the input DEM, and an output filename (a new hillshading DEM will be created). Make sure the Mode is set to Hillshade.
