I've been looking around for utilities for generating normal and height maps.  Here are a few I tried out this week:

1. nDo
2. Crazy Bump
3. SSBump Generator
4. xnormal
5. ShaderMap

nDo nad Crazy Bump do the job, but are more expensive than Shader Map.  SSBump is open source, but eccentric and more limited.  NVidia makes one for Photoshop, but it consistently gets a low rating.
