After much trial and error with the current experimental release I've rewritten your steps a little to how I've managed to get it to work:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Software/Files required: Standard image editing software, GIMP, a heightmap image file]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 1 - Scale Image to 514x257 in your standard image editing program and save the file in PNG format.

Step 2 - Open Gimp.

Step 3 - Open the PNG file you've just created.

Step 4 - Click 'File' > 'Export as'.

Step 5 - Set Filename at the top: WhateverYouWantToCallIt.raw, make sure format is set to 'data,raw' at the bottom.

Step 6 - Set Export Path to 'Documents\Stranded Deep\Data\Experimental\Editor\Heightmaps'.

Step 7 - Click 'Export'.

Step 8 - Close Gimp, Open the Game and go to Cartographer

Step 9 - Edit or Create a New Island

Step 10 - click on the Gear icon near top right and select the heightmap you want to use (appears bottom right).

Step 11 - Click 'Generate'.

Step 12 - Use the sliders in 'Normalise Terrain' to adjust the height till you get it how you'd like it.

Step 13 - Use Blend to get rid of any 'spikiness', then manually edit the terrain to how you want it.

It'd be nice if the devs eventually made it so that a simple greyscale 512x512 can be imported as a heightmap, rather than all this faffing around with raw file formatting..
