You should have turned off the caps lock sooner.

First off, I think you may have accidentally bumped your caps-lock button. In response to your question, use a program like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP.

Some have different compression rates, some are lossy/lossless. Some let you save layers and other information for later use in photoshop and other imaging programs.

Could you speak clearer?

Normally I'm right there on the whole stop capitalizing issue. But he says he's legally blind, and I've no reason to think he's lying. So lay off.

Use a picture editing software.

I happen to think you're pretty dandy.

Why would a blind person need to know picture formats?  I'm just a tad curious.

This is just a rough outline, and contains some of my opinions, but still, I press on:

JPEG, JPG- Good for posting pictures online.  Trades file size for picture quality.  In 90% of cases, the change is barely noticeable, except for close inspection.

GIF- Most.  Annoying. Format.  Ever.  I use it for animated pictures such as avatars and buddy icons, but that's it.

BMP- No need to save a picture as this.  Most cameras save the pictures as such, but the quality-for-size argument mentioned above is kind of pointless in this case.  Just edit and save as JPEG, save everyone the trouble.

PDF- Annoying format, but good on quality.  Avoid.

For most cases, JPEG is pretty much your best bet.  I doubt your a power user, so don't bother with the other formats.  I'm not being rude, personally I flatten any of the layers in Photoshop and save pictures as high-quality JPEG's.  That makes it easier for people who I may want to share files directly with, easier for both of us.

PNG is another big one.

Got it, I forgot the legally blind were not always completely blind last night, very tired.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
