The zip file(basalt.zip) has three .psd files to use as terrains, (512 x 512).  Remember that the pictures can be blended in the terrain editor.  This means you can use the basic three in the file to generate more so that you can vary the terrain.  Also for the best effect once you get the picts into the terrain editor you should ruff them up.   These are basic terrains, age them to make them look more natural.  Add noise, remove some, add cracks, etc.
