Advanced Hillshading and Layer Tinting Techniques
2
Advanced methods to create the hillshade Swiss method MDOW method Combining the methods
3
Swiss hillshade What this method does is to create two new rasters from the input DEM. The DEM and the two new rasters are used together in the final display.

Explanation of Swiss effect “Emphasizes the major geographic features, minimizes the minor features, smoothes irregularities on the slopes, but maintains the rugged characteristics of ridge tops and canyon bottoms…You can then simulate an aerial perspective that makes the higher elevations lighter and the lower elevations darker.” –Barnes, D. 2002. “Using ArcGIS to Enhance Topographic Presentation”, Cartographic Perspectives 42: 5-11.

Explanation of MDOW method "Traditional computer-generated shaded-relief maps emphasize structures that happen to be obliquely illuminated, but wash out structures that are illuminated along the structural grain. This … technique, which emphasizes oblique illumination on all surfaces, provides more detail in areas of an image that would otherwise be illuminated by direct light or left in darkness by a single source illumination.“ This model was developed by Dr. Robert Mark, U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, CA, 94025.
