I could pain so I think I selected it. Why shouldnt smooth work either that way?
What were you painting, textures or the height differences?
What i usually check when nothing happens trying to edit the terrain height map after working on painting the textures is see if i selected the height map itself in the terrain edit toolbox instead of the texture layer i was painting on. it's a common mistake i still make.
The terrain height map is located under the FIRST tab.
The texture maps are located under the SECOND tab.
Make sure you click on the first tab and then select your terrain height map.
