Also name it something like ExampleTerrain (.png will add automatically if you chose the PNG file type) but don't put extra stuff like a period (Example.Terrain)

When you go into gimp, right click the height map layer and go down to remove alpha channel.

Make sure you're saving it to your map file's name.

For instance, open map maker, if your map name is FarrahIsland and Farrah Island, (each in their respected boxes, one being the map name and the other the display), then save it.

You'll then want to save those two png. files, (the height map and mask) into FH>Media>Terrains>FarrahIsland (of course it'd be your map name.)

If png. files won't work you can always save as jpeg and try that. Though generally, .png is the desired file.
