 I was certain these were possible but could not find detailed

 an dhave some tests in this hour.

 I was very disappointed to get this first response:
 I don't think this is possible. JPEG are already cooked, and
 flattened picture. I don't think you will be able to break it down,
 and turn it back to xcf (gimp format).  I guess you shouldn't have
 deleted the original file of the image.

 BUT
 then the real answers came flying in.
 I said JPG at first but I don't care if I start with a JPG or BMP
 or GIF. I figure any image I can scan on the flatbed scanner can be
 a target to work with.
 Which brings out the question of WHAT FORMAT would be the best to
 start in when knoing that the
 whole seperation process will be done with an image.
 Is there any reason to select any one format over another
 considering that most shared images do show up as GIF and
 JPG.?!?!?!

You should go with .png's.

Jpgś are lossy,a bnd gif's are not full color.
