RealDarko -- I am replying to your PM here because you may get useful comments from others who read the post.

I have taken your current map_T and opened it in Photoshop Elements.
Selected the sea area and painted a strip of additional land in RGB 0 on each shore of Port Stanley Harbour.

You must use the pencil tool for this work in order to get precise RGB values.

Saved the file and then re-opened ok in FMB. So I am not experiencing your problems.

Maybe your software is not saving the file in the correct format.
You say it worked ok before editing but did not work after editing, and the only thing changed is map_T

You have said that you are using Paintshop Pro but have also tried it in Gimp. I dont have any experience with either of those editors, but maybe others can comment.

In the *.tga format you can save in various pixel depths.
My software is set to save in 16bit, although when I view the file in XnView it says it is 8bit targa type 3.
Have you got something in the setup which is saving in a different format.

I do recall in early posts people having to adjust settings in Gimp in order to save the right type of tga file.
My knowledge of tga file formats is limited.
