You have to make a height map that makes valleys and hills. read the handbook for more info C: Oh, and if check off 'ocean' you'll get water that covers the land, and you can adjust the height to what you need

I would use GIMP. Just as good as photoshop but free. However unless you have a table, it may be a bit hard to make height maps., but thats just my opnion =u=

Yes, you have to use PS or GIMP. I dont think paint can be converted to greyscale.
