Ok, my problem here is with the gray scale. What program should i be using to convert the .jpg file out of all grays in a color tile set into a true gray scale?

so far all ive seen on my computer is ms-paint, and when i try to change it to black and white, everything but mountain tops go black...sadly thats the only time it will actually load a picture into a region, and it only comes up as all water

so ya...like i said before, what program should i be using to convert the .jpg file out of all grays into a true gray? scale?

Check out http://www.irfranview.com  for a freeware program that might help.  I have never used it myself, but it looks like it should be able to do the conversion.

If you mean the program, the program is called Irfanview.

Just use the correction capability of Landscape Designer

Saves a lot of fuss and feathers, and you don't need to learn another picture editor.

I always use MS Photo Editor. It came with my PC and works perfectly for resizing images or converting them to greyscale. And best of all, it's free.

I use to do so, too. The MS-photo-pig must be translated by the landscape designer, and by the way it gives you a first impression of what the landscape will look like finally.

And if you need a full capability photo editor that is free, google for The GIMP.

IrfanView works just fine for that. It's great.
