Hi all who would like to comment. This is what I had gathered in class today about the 2 terms in the subject line.

JPG - is rastorized which guesses and does dithering which means gradually changing of colors. I have no idea what that has to do with anything yet.

GIF - is vectorized which is mathamatically generated. Fonts I think are vectorized in in a layer. Still I have no idea yet what this has to do with anything except photo editing somehow.

TIFF - MS product that is also vectorized.
