If your trying to create a normal map or an elevation map from a color map, than this isn't what your looking for.
Creating an elevation map or normal map from a color map will require time and patience. But there are tools that can help you do it. Such as taking data from just one of the color channels and using that as a base, if it makes sense. there are many techniques. I could go on with a couple more, but I don't know for sure what your doing. So just let me know.
If you are trying to do what I mentioned above, what 3D apps are you working with?
