AgentSmith, I hoped you would respond.  I wondered what that blend button did.

and  "OHMYGOSH"  OR "EURIKA"  I found another way in the mean time.

  1. I generated terrain A in massive scale and found a fractal I liked for the waves

  2. went to pictures tab and copied it, pasted it in Paint Shop Pro (PhotoShop has similar controls)

  3. back to Bryce where I generated a busier terrain B for the ripples, copied the picture

  4. pasted the second image as a layer set to "lighten" in the paint program, adjusted its transparency so not to overwhelm the base terrain, merged it, copied it and back to Bryce I go

  5. I pasted the merged image as a new terrain in pictures, smoothed it once and tahdah!

This image has a smooth colored glass mat (no bump) so you can see the resulting terrain
