Image in html?

[J.B]

I have an image in jpeg and png format. when i try to import it into dreamweaver to use as background the area remains white, when I put it in as an image it has the grey graphic as if the picture isnt in the file. When i write the actually html code using img src i just get a red cross. any ideas?

Thanks for the reply but i've sorted it now, think it had something to do with bit depth. sorry for waisting your time
