Neither PhotoShop nor Paintshop Pro give a t**s what colour format the file
is in, it will only make a difference if you save it for web use without
first converting it to RGB an no web browser (as far as I know) will support
CMYK colour jpegs.
Aside from that the original poster said he thought they were GIF files, and
they are neither CMYK or RGB colour, they are indexed colour.
