Color and depth lost when reading PNG

[Moof]

Hello,

I'm using IMAQ Read Image And Vision Info.vi to read a PNG saved with IMAQ Write Image And Vision Info.vi. The saved image is 24 bits, color. When I open the image and display it using an image control, it shows up as an 8-bit grayscale. How do I get it to open in color?

Thanks.

Are you passing a 24-bit color image into the image terminal of this VI? Most likely, you have the default Grayscale (U8) Image type for the initialization of the image that you feed into the IMAQ Read Image And Vision Info.vi. It is a terminal on the bottom of the IMAQ Create vi.

Hope that this helps,
Bob
