Yes there is, but I can't remember what it is called now.

I'll have a poke around and see what I can find out.

It might be better though if you could edit your picture, so that the highest areas are light (white)....going through greys to the lowest areas........sea level being black I suppose.

What I mean here is greyscale.

Sorry, I forgot all about this.

The program you want is here on  OFPEC

Your picture also needs to be 256 X 256 pixels in size, it must also be a .bmp format picture.
