Correct way to make normal files for kopernicus planet?

So I decided to make some planets with kopernicus. Everything going well, got a heightmap, made a color map from it. Then I tried to make a normal map for it. I found this thread:

Does anyone know whats going on? (Bonus: Good ways to make seamless textures)

I can't figure put how to post the normal map as it is a dds and they dont work with imgur.
