kapteeni,
Did you save your ed_01 and 02 as colour RGB or indexed colour with no transparency (alpha channel)? Is ed_02 the same pixel size as map_h? If you are not sure about the image format to save in, open up one of IL2s and check the format, and then ensure you save yours in the same way.
Map_c, H and T use 256 levels of greyscale, but they do not always need all 256 levels depending on the map design. I believe that Photoshop uses a different scale and can lead to strange effects, but others can advise you on this. I had problems when manipulating data for my map_h in Photoshop, so I have not used it since. Gimp does work in producing IL2 maps, and many of us use it. Just wish its image stretching had more options. Different from Photoshop in many ways, but it is free and no requirement to be "modded" if you do not own it!
Hopefully your problem is linked to something mentioned above.
