Heightmap Questions

Hey all! I would appreciate some help in learning how to make my first heightmap.

I have worked on interior cells before, but never tried making a heightmap for a mod, and it seems like there are conflicting descriptions of the best way to do it out there on the internet.

I found this tutorial and have been trying to use it to create a heightmap. I had some trouble figuring out geocontrol, so I skipped to using this process:

 

>create a greyscale heightmap in photoshop according to those specifications, raw, 16bit, ibm, etc

>use TESAnnwyn with the command line described in this tutorial to generate an esp file from my heightmap

 

Unfortunately it has not worked in the creation kit when I have tried to open the tesannwyn esps annwyn generates. The creation kit has given me some errors, saying the esp is "not a valid TES file," and it doesn't show my world in the list of worldspaces when I try to open it.

So my question is how to create heightmaps, because I'm finding this a bit frustrating. I haven't been able to find a good explanation that works so far. I would appreciate some advice. Thanks!
