*edit
I feel dumb, I did search the tools list before posting this, but I didn't see the post on top of the beginners forum(I just thought to look in the tools section).
Though a lot of those links seem dead also.... And they don't seem heightmap or terrain oriented. They seem to do what irrEdit does which I've already dl'd but Is there a good Heightmap Editor out there??
*endedit*
Terrain Editor / Heightmap Editor -Wonder what everyone uses
I have checked out quite many and here is my sticky note on what I found

(which might contain errors
)Si I went with FreeWorld3D and in the middle ofthis page (First image with the characters in it, I haven't yet done triplanar mapping) you can see the result.### ------ Terragen:
generate auto maps
No Realtime images !!!
-> difficult to see changes (you model heightmap like un photoshop)
Multiwindow system (sucks) + render window outside multiwindow (sucks * 100)
### ------ EarthSculptor
Seems fine but you can't model terrain, nor "paint" it, you can't do anything in the demo
Development stopped.
### ------ IrrEdit
OK but doesn't do terrains (you can import height maps etc but there are no tools to transform / paint terrains with)!
### ------ FreeWorld3D
Very nice
