One of my students just finished a series of video tutorials on creating Unity terrains. One of the chapters is on creating and importing Height maps:

Hope this can be of some help!

What if you don't have PhotoShop?

use GI$$anonymous$$P -- www.gimp.org It's basically a free, fully fleshed out version of Adobe PhotoShop. If you don't feel like spending the time to use those tools, paint.Net is fine as well.

If GI$$anonymous$$P does not help; try $$anonymous$$rita. It's free and it gives you the same result.

Have you seen this question and answer:

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/130/issue-with-importing-raw-heightmaps-made-in-photoshop

There's some good advice there. If none of that solves your problem, you'll need to add a bit more detail to your question - such as, what app are you exporting your heightmap from. What size image, what are your terrain settings, etc.
