I created the terrain in Paint Tool Sai. I created a new canvas and pasted the image into the canvas and flattened the image. I checked Image > Mode to make sure it was Grayscale & had a 16 Bit Depth.

I made sure to disable transparency as well.

Here are the settings I open a new canvas with:

and Here are the settings I export it with:

Maybe you could see if you can select a manual Resample option, instead of Automatic, that might be what's interfering. What are these images being displayed on? PhotoShop? It's probably a different version to mine but I just wanted to be sure if it is still a version of PhotoShop and which version it may be.

It didn't work, I tried the resample options. I made a quick heightmap in photoshop with the same settings, but it still saved as an RBG. It has something to do with the exporting settings, or the creation settings.

Bloo, if you don't mind, can you tell me both your creation and exporting settings?

Absolutely, I'll provide a quick screenie for both:

Creating



So there aren't any exporting settings for me. I simply click Save As... and save it as a .png and it works fine. As Bawfle asked, what version of photoshop are you using?

Try this!!

Open your terrain in Paint Tool Sai and use the rectangular selection tool to outline the whole thing. After this is done, copy it. Now go into the new, blank photoshop file you created and paste it on the canvas. See if that solves your problem. I wonder if it's just a problem with opening the file from Sai.


You are amazing <3
