Program for converting tiff to raw files for heightmaps

Hey all! Okay so I'm follow this excellent tutorial From Heightmap to Worldspace in Skyrim by the creator of the upcoming Hoddminir mod. It's great and very easy to follow but I'm stuck on one point, the tutorial uses photoshop for a vital step which I'll quote here:

Save as RAW, with the settings : Header 0, IBM PC
Saving in this format then allows your heightmap to be read by the CK and other programs related to worldspace creation.

 

My problem is that I don't have Photoshop (too pricey for my blood) and can't find a way to save as a raw from GIMP2. I've also tried a bunch of free photo editing packages but they either don't work or they save a raw but it doesn't retain the original picture.

You might look this over. Its for GIMP.

 

This is for camera raw image files. Totally different from a RAW file.

 

What you need is ImageJ - http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/

 

This freeware program has the option to save as an unsigned 16bit RAW file - http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/doku.php?id=gui:file:save_as&s[]=raw
