Editing Height Map

[whitewaterwood]

I was curious if anyone out there had a graphics program capable of supporting 8-bit color that was able to edit and import the CAW height maps. Editing height maps could totally revolutionize the beginning stages of CAW and I was wondering if it's even possible to edit them so that they end up importable.

Any feedback or ideas on this would be great. ;)

I've done it just fine in Photoshoop - there's a little dropdown for it so you can change the colour depth.
