1.
A good rule of thumb is that you should use GIF files for images
and JPEG files for photographs.
A good rule of thumb, but looking at it in more depth, which format is
used depends on
what is *in* the image or photograph. GIF is best for pictures with a
lot of flat color, JPEG for pictures with tonal gradations. Now
*usually* (artificial) images have flat areas, and photographs have
tonal gradations - but the reverse situations are also possible. In some
cases you just have to experiment to see which format works best.
