Website Image Formats: Choosing the right format for the right task.

When designing a website, what do you consider the best image format to use for a particular task?

What Image format should I use for barcodes created on the fly.

I'm creating barcodes on the fly, and embedding them in web pages. What format should I use? I'm wavering between JPG and PNG, and I don't really understand the advantages of both.

But you can get multipart tiffs, where a tif can contain more then one image, the question is can each of these images have EXIF data? Does this...

Programatically adding Images to RTF Document

I am trying to add a image to a RTF document which I am creating. I would prefer to not use 'copy/paste' methods (that involve pasting the image within a RichTextBox and then accessing the .RTF property) which purge the clipboard (as this will be a bother and confusion for my end users). The code I have so far returns the string that ne...

Tool/Library for finding multiple assigned color profiles of an image other than photoshop?

I read here that when sending an image for print it can have multiple color profiles assigned to it, which will cause a difference in color between what is displayed on your monitor and what is printed on your printer.
