Check whether you have any of the following issues.

1. You are not extracting the color planes (like luminance).

2. You are not defining a seperate buffer while extracting. (Img dst)

3. You are defining a wrong buffer type in img dst. (if you are using a jpg or a png image then you should define a RGB in the image type) it would give you an error if you have just connected the imaq to the img dst

Can you attach your vi for lv 8.0 or post a screen shot?

I am getting a "invalid template" error when i tried your template. I have created a new one. Try this if it works.

Also remember I created the template from vision assistant. I feel it is always better to do it that way.
