Features

Import .PNG, .TIFF or .RAW images: 16-bit RAW is preferred but if you need to you can use PNG or TIFF formats.
Automatically resize Cities Skylines 1 Heightmaps: If you import an 1081x1081 heightmap it will resize to an approximate 1:1ish scale to Cities Skylines 1.
8-bit to 16-bit channel conversion: If you import an 8-bit image it will convert it for you. It will run 10 passes of blurring to try to prevent terracing. (This is WIP and results may not be the best.)
