Ok I hope this is the right board for this, but I am almost completely clueless about the imaq packages. i have a bitmap picture, i want to convert it to 8 bit, and do things like add colors to it, or invert the colors. It seems everyone is using IMAQ vision systems for this. I am going to be getting the picture from a usb webcam. Now I know there is a free IMAQ usb installer but it says i still need the vision system for it to work.
So I guess my question is, is the vision software that i need free from LabVIEW or how do i get it?
Thanks for any help.
(I currently am using LabVIEW 8.0)
