The end result will be:

Once you have these files collected in a safe place other than their orginial location, you may continue.

Tools: Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady 7.0 (if you have other programs you should find the same tools)
As general advices:
- Cut only in one direction each time.
- Save the successful cut in another folder (as many versions as you do)
- Cut all the maps at the same time
- Change also the txt files at the same time.

Also the hgt_converter.zip:

As an example we are going to make a map of the greek peninsula, with most of Minor Asia and Cyprus.
