Same rules go for the mask as the heightmap, but instead of the picture being in grayscale, this should be in RGB.

Same size on both sides like 512x512, 1 layer only, so make sure you flatten the image, and that it's an .png image, RGB mode.

If you know you did all this, try making your mask picture into a .bmp or .jpeg, load that image, and then re-convert it back into a .png again. If you do this correctly it might help.

If that fails to work you should probably recheck things like where you place the image, make sure there's no copies of it, writing the name of the image correctly? aye.. things like that.

Try what I do.  Open your terrain in GIMP or whatever you used to make it, copy it, then paste it onto a new canvas.  Then save it.  That works for me.  But my FH seems weird.  If I try to open a heightmap that isn't 513X513, it'll crash.  If the pasting thing doesn't work, try those dimensions instead.

i hav GIMP too this sometimes happens to me also. Wen im saving it and a box pops up saying "GIMP cant handle something blah blah" i know its not gonna show up on FH. This happens with presets too, i fix the preset thing by clicking the "Export" button on the GIMP error thing, then click "Load Defaults" it works for presets it could work for maps too maybe. Otherwise it could be a problem maybe to do with the name u saved it as or u used the Transparency Tool that usually makes this happen.
