How to Prepare a Zip File From Lifetouch
Lifetouch is a photo portrait studio with locations all over the country. Usually the company focuses on school portraits but you have other types of photos taken. You may receive a digital copy of the image taken by Lifetouch. These images are often large files. If you want to shrink the files down and email them to friends and family, you need to "zip" the file.
