Then something must be wrong with the heightmap image. Is it 513x513? Is there no alpha channel?

You should be able to use Photoshop, but I haven't used it much, so I'm not sure. And when you say you can't save the map, are you referring to saving the heightmap in L3DT? If you are, try saving it as a different file type, then open it up in another program and save it as a png.
