I'm Computer Illiterate. Help.

[The Sevenshot Kid]

Uh... I'm looking at self-publishing a comic through Ka-Blam (http://ka-blam.com/printing/front/) and they used some terms I'm really unfamiliar with.

What's a TIFF file and on what program would I make one?

What's LZW compression and how do you do that?

I'm sure I'll have more questions later but these are really bugging me.

TIFF is a picture file, I think, and you probably would be able to save it in Paint by copying it there, clicking "Save As" and hitting ".bmp file" in the bar below the 'untitled' bar, and changing it to "Any File."

Then you just save it as "Untitled.tiff"

Or, at least, that's what my computer literate friends told me a few yonks ago.

Thanks man! That was really helpful.
