Claudia ,
I just posted a revision to your .car file.  It uses a mixer in the
Transparency channel . Check it out. The easiest way would be to use  a
black and white bitmap in the transparency channel. If you just wanted the
verticle outline of the continents then uss slope instead of elevation in
the my carrara file.
