Edit Heightmap Layer

This dialog allows the user to edit the layer properties and the options that specify how the mask combines its texture with the overall texture.

Name: Edit the name of the layer.

Save As RAW:  Allows the user to save the current mask as a RAW file.  This can be imported into the main editor for further editing.

Save As Bitmap: Allows the user to save the current mask as a bitmap file. This can be imported into the main editor for further editing.

Combine Options

These specify how the mask affects the overall texture.

Making Texture: Allows several options

• Replace - places the pixels in the overall texture with the ones from this layer.
• Add - adds the pixels in the overall texture with the ones from this layer.
• Average - averages the pixels in the overall texture with the ones from this layer.
• Ignore - keeps the pixels in the overall texture.  Effectively disabling this mask.
• Blend - creates a smooth blend on the overall texture of the existing texture and the mask texture based on the intensity of the pixel in mask layer.  The higher the intensity, the stronger the mask pixel is applied to the overall texture.

Transparency:  The user can specify a colour in the mask that is transparent allowing the pixels in original heightmap texture layer to show through.
