Yes, just the free version.  Instead of plugging the image directly into the
heightfield, I made a function from it and added just a bit of small-scale
turbulence:

#declare HFX =
function {
  pigment {
    image_map {
      tga "WMCanyon.tga"
      map_type 0
      interpolate 2
    }
    warp {repeat x}
    warp {repeat y}
    scale 50
    warp {turbulence .2}
    scale 1/50
  }
}

#declare Terrain =
height_field {
  function 4500, 4500 {
    HFX(x,y,z).hf
  }
  smooth
  translate -.5
  scale 2
  scale 1/4*y
  scale TerrainScale
}
