I'm having a few problems with my planet, while it looks decent from 5 million units (meters?) high, I am planning on using it for a sky box at about 1 million unit high. I am having figuring out how to define continents and oceans.

I haven't yet worried about my atmosphere much, but I can't seam to define my continents unto masses and work their coloring from their. Ideally I would like to be able to apply a coastline and mountain coloring individually.
Do I need to apply some sort of mask created in photoshop in order to create my continents?
How would I go about doing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is an example picture of the range that I intend to render from, and the continental idea that I am aiming for:
