It's hard to know exactly what you mean by convert to a 3D image. Try this:

A = imread('eight.tif'); 
surf(double(A))
shading flat

I tried this but getting an error Warning: Matrix dimensions must agree, not rendering mesh

You ran different code. I just copied and pasted Chad's code and it worked fine. What did you do differently? You must have changed something that broke it.

A color image is already a 3D image, at least if it's RGB and not indexed color, so you can simply use imread() and you're done!

rgbImage = imread(filename);
