Two issues, and they may be related.
I have a Joomla 2.5 site running the latest version of Gantry Framework but a straight Gantry 3.2.8 template.
I can't make Full Article Images display. Is this related to the older template, and if so, how do I upgrade that template? Should I even try, or is it going to wreck my layouts.
I've done many searches on this topic to no avail. Thanks for your help.

I dint really mess with the older gantry templates for some time.
But if I remember right the template used overrides for com_content ...
So you could simply rename
templates/rt_gantry/html/com_content/article
to
templates/rt_gantry/html/com_content/bak_article
or
templates/rt_gantry/html/com_content/
to
templates/rt_gantry/html/bak_com_content/
... as always ... take a backup before you start changing things.

if you rename templates/rt_gantry/html/com_content/article to
templates/rt_gantry/html/com_content/bak_article
the html-ouput falls back to the Joomla 2.5 core com_content in
components/com_content/views/article/tmpl/default.php
wich should feature the code for the full image ...

Sorry, me again.
I have another site with a similar issue, and the solution we have here is not working.
In the front-end edit article (task=article.edit), I'm now missing the descriptors for the Link A, Link B, etc., and the entry fields for the tags.
I have a link to create the articles with menu item assigned to the Protostar Template and what works just fine, but I can't figure out a way to assign that template to the "edit" button on the front end. Any ideas?

- Never mind. I figured it out with a similar fix. I changed html/com_content/form to bak_form. It isn't pretty, but it restores all the functions I need. Any reason why this is the case in Gantry?

You are using an old version of the gantry template.
The old gantry template was made for Joomla 1.5.
The html output of J 1.5 was really bad.
So gantry had to override the output of all Joomla core extensions.
The Article-image was introduced pretty late in J 2.5 ... that is not reflected in the overrides ...
