Resample.exe = Image header is corrupt

Hi All,

I'm doing a photo scenery with the same process that worked for me in the past: photo from Google produced by SbuilderX313, image corrected, watermask and blendmask created by Gimp2.8.14, and scenery compiled with resample.exe

 

Now I get on this project a resample error for the first of the 3 images : source 1 header is corrupt (...) can't compile data source.

The images are : BMP 24bits, about 288 meg in size each.

This is what I tryed:

- Exported images in TIFF from Gimp. This solved a same issue in the past, while the size of the images was not different.

- Exported images in JPG and also in BMP 16 bits x1.

- Redone the whole process and split the scenery in two smaller sceneries covering the same area.

Nothing worked, same result.

 

This is bad because I spent much time in creating the watermask for a shore in the scenery and adjusting colors.

 

This is the .INF file, hoping someone can help!!!

I forgot to mention that on this project the TIFF format would compile with resample but the result didn't show up in FSX and in Annotator.

I found out the solution: I replaced seasons by All and exported the images from Gimp cliking Dot not overwrite colors into a BMP 24 bits. Now I got an issue with the Watermask that does not remove water area from the image. I forgot to remove (put black) this water area from the Blendmask. I'm suspecting this is the issue.
