  Planetary Heightfields: Now what?

I've found tons of great heightmaps for planets, and moons at
http://bang.lanl.gov/solarsys/eng/homepage.htm

Since I've been playing around with planets lately, I'd love to use some
of these, as heightfields, or bumpmaps for spheres.

Problem: It uses a weird colour scale, that does not convert to
greyscale properly.

Any advice on using these?

(BTW: Look under Mars or Venus for good high res examples)
