how do you find out if a raster image is in rgb or in cmyk -- but without using Photoshop?

Well, if you are working on a Macintosh, just get information on the file (Command-i), and it will tell you the colorspace. If you are on windows, go out and buy a Macintosh and get information on the file (Command-i), and it will tell you the colorspace.

Just kiddin. I am not sure how you would do it on windows, but someone else may have a suggestion.

if you have windows you can ask your friend who has a Mac to solve it for you. We're very helpful people. ;)

Paint on PC. Seashore or Preview on Mac.

You could just drop the image into InDesign, and the swatches used will appear in the swatches pallette - rgb or cmyk.
