The 8-bit greyscale PNGs photoshop creates are not the best format for a heightmap, since it only allows a maximum of 256 different heights on your island/terrain.

I'm pretty stupid when it comes to PS, but doesn't these settings mean it's 16-bit?

Yes, they do, but some/most versions of PS can't save 16 bit PNG. I understand CS can save 16 bit PNGs.

I guess you could always use a 16-bit TIFF to 16-bit PNG conversion program.

What about greyscale from fotoshop into wilbur then safe from there to greyscale.

Had same problems longago, i had half islands from greyscale image from fotoshop.
