One heightmap out of many gimp 2.8
#4
I had a look at the site terrain.party. Are these dark grayscale images that you download. Tried some but got about 1000 pix square.

If those are the type then not too easy to identify matching points.

Get this plug-in ofn-layer-aligner.py from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-too...s/scripts/ about 22 down

direct link https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-to...p/download

Unzip, it comes with documentation which you should read, plugin goes in your Gimp user profile plugins folder

This is in Gimp 2.10, forgot you are OSX and Gimp 2.8 but all the same.

Make a canvas big enough for the joined up tiles. Then File -> Open as layers the first 2 or 3 (do not be over ambitious)

Line them up and identify matching points. Not easy on the set I downloaded. (I put up an overlay layer and some dots, just for screenshots, not absolutely necessary)

Join the matching points with a single path, make sure you are on the correct layer (important or layers fly off)

Apply the plugin.

Some screenshots of that: https://i.imgur.com/q33Dyni.jpg

Same procedure when it comes to the second row

Make a new path, careful with layer positions, apply plugin. https://i.imgur.com/KKYvOT6.jpg
That should get you started. I expect there will be some cropping to do.
