I've noticed that in PhotoShop (Mac), when you Export as GIF89, the
file is created with no resource fork, but if you Save and set File
Format to GIF, you get a resource fork. (I'm using PhotoShop 4; don't
know how things look in other versions.)

As far as amputating resource forks from JPEGs, I haven't figured
out how to do it right from PhotoShop; have been using the demo 
version of ImageReady (available from Adobe's web site for free)
which handles it nicely. I'd sure like to know how to save 
resource-fork-less JPEGs straight from PhotoShop too...

Good luck,
