I played a bit with height-fields and it seems that imports of Tiff
files in Heightfield and ImageMap doesn't propper.
I tried:
height_field {
  tiff  "landscape.tif"
  texture {
    pigment {
      image_map { png "landscapepaint.png" map_type 0 interpolate 2 once
}
      rotate x*90 // lay X-Y image map down onto X-Z height field plane
    }
  }
  scale ....
}
landscapepaint.png is just a painted version of landscape.tif but the
imagemap appeared mirrored on the heightfield.

rotate x*270
didn't work. some strange residual pixels appeared where my Landscape
should be.

Exchanging image formats to png,tga,sys gave following picture.
png , tga, sys as heightfield and as imagemap give the expected
orientation
tiff  as heightfield and as imagemap give the expected orientation

tiff as heightfield and png , tga, sys as imagemap give mirrored
orientation
png , tga, sys as heightfield and tiff as imagemap give mirrored
orientation

It seems that the importfunction of tiff has a problem.

Another question: 16bit-greyscale tiffs do not work. Is this true in
general or is it depending on the Image creating program (Corel10).

Continue the great work and Thanks

No, but some programs save tiff files mirrored or rotated or both.  POV-Ray
doesn't (yet) use these flag to reverse this (nonsense) and thus some tiff
images are mirroed or rotated or both :-(

Thanks for the fast answer !

And sorry about the rotation "problem"
If I rotate x*270 or x*-90 I have to translate +z the image.

Sorry :-)

(Which 16bit image formats are supported ?)

PNG, PGM, POT (special fractint gif type) and TGA (with the red/green
channel trick)

To Ingo: I just read the corresponding part of the docs and found that
usually names of mentioned programs (fractint, gforge) are formatted with
<code> but not always.
