I've found that the simplest solution, once you have the coast elevations sorted out with CoastAlign or by hand, is to fill the black spots with the appropriate textures using the FMB. Mind you, on a map with a load of small islands that sure was a lot of work!

This requires using land textures and manually inserting them into the "black" areas?

If so, it seems straightforward and I have already resigned myself to a few months more labour on this project. So a little extra hard work isn't the end of the world.

Yes, that's what I've done. I find that overall it's the most satisfying of the methods available to sort out the black spots, even if it is timeconsuming.
