As far as I know, all digital images are automatically in the 8bit mode. But I have to include a profile pic in an application and the requirements strictly dictate that it should be in the 24bit color mode and that 8bit color mode pics are not accepted. I've been breaking my head trying to find how to do it in Photoshop, but all I could find was 8bit/16bit/32bit under Image%26gt;Mode%26gt;
Could anyone please advise? Thanks in advance.

Save it as a BMP file. This format allows for 24 bit, and its an option when you "save as" to this file type. A 24 bit requirement isn't uncommon, its the standard image type in windows and some other softwares.

24 bit mode IS 8 bit. There are three channels - RED, GREEN and BLUE. They are all 8 bits each. Some people combine the three 8's to make 24bits. It's not technically correct but it is very common. So your 8bit image is exactly what they require.
Note: don't save as a BMP as this will take up a lot more diskspace and isn't a common filetype anymore. Save as JPG and move the quality slider to 6 or above. As you move the slider, the JPG save box will tell you what the image size will be.
