A Graphics object cannot be created from an image that has an indexed pixel format

[mickn66]

I keep getting this obnoxious error "A Graphics object cannot be created from an image that has an indexed pixel format" the image that the error is referring to gets this error regardless if its a jpg or a gif or anything else I can convert it to. On the other hand another file I have (a jpg or a gif, I forget which right now) does not get the error and works fine. What does this error mean? Any help would be much appreciated!

Are you converting to an 8bit palette-based image? Format8bppPaletteIndexed (or something like that)?

Not on purpose! Im still a photoshop newbie unfortunetely. All Ive done is tabe a short pdf document, and save it as a couple of jpgs. With some of them I get the error, and with others I dont. Im not sure what I did differently with any of them.
