Lol even more picky then that. He wants hight maps and not bump maps so thats why the two are confused. Bump maps just take greyscale and give sharpening, where as hightmap has to be created from scratch based soley on elevation and where the light would hit off it.
The only way you can really do it properly is to use a program to generate it based on the photo. There could be some photoshop plugins specially for it, but otherwise i have yet to run into any. So i garuntee those aren't what hes looking for as that ref_corgs elevation map would be 100% black where it dips in then pure white for the very center and a gradient blend for the rest of the shades.
I am pretty sure by now hes already solved the problem, otherwise maybe someone will grab the photoshop plugin and get those done for him.
