ok I understand that one channel in a targa file is used to manipulate the height of the terrain. The area I want info on is how to hack the image once painted. This is basically a flat image, probably a bmp file merged with the terrain to give it dimension. How do I access the map color file used? It has to be in the file saved. Does anyone know where it is saved in the file and what format it is in. I could use an editor to open the file, copy and paste into another file to bring into Photoshop and manipulate it, then bring it back and have incredible maps. Anyone? Kevin
