I would like to experiment with creating Terrain RAW Files, but I do not own Photoshop. I own Paint Shop Pro, but, as far as I can tell, it does not support 13 channels so I cannot properly open the same .RAW file provided in the support center. Does anyone with experience with PSP know if there is anyway to open/create and edit .RAW files with 13 channels? If not are there any free .RAW editors out there? I really don't have the money to purchase Photoshop right now or else I would.
Thanks.

Thank you for the variety of responses! They are all cheaper than Photoshop so I'm experimenting with various demos to decide which one will work best for my needs (and be within budget).

Try this as well http://www.spinmass.com/bailiwick/
Although you can't edit the terrain directly in it, it will output a raw file in the correct format. And yes you can use paint shop to make your file, just make it a 256x256 BMP and use a black(zero elevation) background. Use different shades of grey, up to white(highest elevation) for your heights. Import that BMP into bailiwick to create the raw file. You will have to do some fine tuning once it's loaded in world, but the results are pleasing. See here for an example of the island I made using this method /53/f9/258324/1.html _____________________
