If you're using PS; with your image opened Image | Mode is the easiest way
to tell.
Other tips;
Work with high res. non-lossy format (like a .tif) until you are happy with
the outcome, then resize, optimize and Save As a .jpg for the web. Don't
keep reworking a jpg... a few tweaks ok, too much and you lose quality.
Use .jpgs for photos or graphics with gradients and .gifs for graphics with
few colors [this is a generalization].
Do NOT use any of FP's image editing features.
Sometimes I will use FP to resize an image just to see if it fits, if the
size looks good in the layout I read the properties to get the size and go
back to my image editor to adjust the original and then re-import it into my
FP website.
