Yeah, I know nothing about computers, blah, blah, blah. What is a tiff file and why do I need permission to open it? I have a cd with images on it but I can’t view them although they are there. Do I need a specific software to view them? I have tried with the basic software on my computer. Thanks for any help. ---
