You need a program that allows Grayscale mode if you want to make heightmaps. I use GIMP for this because it's free, Photoshop (expensive) is also a good program that allows this :)

Try not to triple post, there is a Modify button to edit your posts c:

I use GIMP to make my map's terrain and mask, so I guess that's a yes :) What do you mean by "copy a map over"?

You don't put the map into GIMP, you make the map on GIMP then transfer it onto Feralheart.

Follow the videos. When saving your map go to "Export", not Save because Save won't work

If you get a box like the one in the image below, click the Load Defaults button and click Export.
