Is your height map 513x513 pixels, in grayscale, and was only 1 layer throughout the process of making it?

When you paste it, do you flatten it?

Yeah, copy and paste it into a new one, then flatten it, then click "Save as..." then save it as whatever you want.

Oh I see...if uninstalling and re-installing didn't work then I don't know. When you uninstall, deleting the FH folder entirely seems to work for some.
