If anyone have problems with sources for DEM files:

[R-DEV]Ninja2dan: Not having a spotter is like masturbating with a cheese grater...mildly amusing at first, but generally painful and bloody in the end.

Thornehaw: If all this have been evidently true, Battlefield is a much scarier and dirtier than ever imagined. Not a conspiracy, but a possibility. If it is true, then trusting another is quite worrisome.

'[R-DEV wrote:Ason;1973722']Can someone help me with this problem?
I'm at the first steps in the tutorial where I should open the heightmapPrimary.raw file in photoshop but I can't get past the "describe heightmapprimary.raw" thing..
This is what I'm getting

I got a feeling I chose a too big area..Is there some way in Microdem to make a 4x4km box instead of guessing?

You forgot to remove the grid in Microdem, the lines are the black grids (the darker the heightmap, the lower the terrain, thats why the grid is sunk all the way to the bottom)
