layout images

[jessssss624]

okay, here's the thing: everything i use to make my web page has to be free, because my budget isnt that big and my parents aren't exactly willing to pay $100+/month for web hosts and stuff just so I can have something to do on the weekends. so i got this really good image editor that's called photoplus and it's from free serif software. it's an adobe photoshop-ish program and it's actually pretty good for something that came free. but here's the thing: it saves in .spp, which is not a very common image type. so my question is: what types of images can you post on the internet? because when ever i try to use the layout i made as a background, it doesn't show up.
anyone have any answers?

ps. i tend to type really long questions, so for future refrence, just skip ahead to the last few questions   :D

From what I'm reading, Photoplus can save in .JPG and .GIF file format.

Saving An Image for Your Website
There are a lot of different formats you can use to save your image. But for the web, you’ll only need two.
These types are .GIF and .JPG Both have been created to allow for the best clarity and smallest file size.

You’ll save your image as a GIF if the image is a logo, text or other “non-photo” image.
You’ll save your image as a JPG if the image is a photo or has a lot of detail.
Here’s are the steps to save your image.

Click File>Export Optimizer

Choose a graphic type either JPG or GIF
(click the drop down box “up” to select GIF if you can’t see GIF as a choice)

JPG Settings
Adjust the “Quality” Bar - As you move the bar you’ll see the quality of the image change. For most
photos, setting the bar at the third level (see below) is best. Putting your slider at 100% will cause
your image to be large and is somewhat “overkill.”

Click “Export” and save your image.

Your image is now ready to go on the web!
