Making a photoshop tiff file to cd

Hello, I am new to this site. Any help would be appreciated.
I have ps on a mac. I am trying to save a ps file as a .tiff file, burn it to a cd-rw so I can import it into my pc. I have tried a number of things however, each time my pc says it can not open the cd-rw because the file is corrupt and unreadable. Any help?

Keep it PSD. Usually PC can't read Mac formats, but Macs can read both PC and Mac.

I'm not sure why a PC would have trouble reading a Mac format, but anyways I would agree, keep it a PSD file.

If, for whatever reason, you still want to use a TIFF file then try saving it as a TIFF with no compression or with zip compression. Also, give the filename a 3 letter only extension (name.TIF) and not 4 letters. This really shouldn't be a problem but it might be depending on the OS you use and how the file system is setup.

PSD files (as are most common media files) are fully platform agnostic where the application exists for both platforms.

The only problems you may run into are font issues (gotta have the EXACT same font on both machines) or version issues (if you try to open a newer PSD file in an older version).

Just make sure the Mac PSD has the file extension in its name when you save it. If you have font issues, there are fairly inexpensive utilities available that can convert font files between Mac and PC formats.

Once you have the Mac PSD file on your PC, then you can worry about converting it to a TIFF file. TIFF files should transfer as well from Mac to PC, but there may be issues that you won't want to deal with. If you have to ask me to explain them, you don't really want to bother at this stage of your learning. Just transfer the PSD file to the PC and go from there.

Utopian, thanks for the response and the welcome! I'm sure I'll have more questions about my mac and ps in the future. Good to talk to you.
