  I think simply using black along with the water lever modifier in those
areas you wish to clip is a more reliable system. What was actually being
represented by the Hf was not the black field or the transparent white
field but instead it was the boundry layer between the two. If you experiment
with it a little bit you will see what I am talking about. I am surprised
it returned any height values at all. It may be that PSP was antialiasing
the pixels at the boundry and that is why there was something besides a
flat object produced.
