Monochrome: This will change each pixel into eaither 100% black or 100% white totally demolishing your work.
16 colour: This will change each pixel into one of the 16 default colours that are typically at the bottom left of you MSPaint window.
256 colour: This will change the quality of your work alot, you can still tell what it used to be though it is pretty much rewined.
24 bit: Exellent for high detailed work although it doesn't do your storage space alot of good, I cannot remember what the number was but probabily something like 20million different colours/shades.
JPEG: no no no lately everyone is savng as JPEG? it's not good it bad very bad it will smudge your work, it should only really be used for photos.
GIF: This is easy to store although it doesn't have an amazing colour range it has about 300 but thats still enough, a good thing you get with GIFs is that you can make a colour transparent if you want to also you make made them animated.
TIFF: I didn't know this exist but now I do, anyway it just seems to be high quality and bad storage just like a Bitmap
PNG: perfect for saving pixel art, high quality images can be saved and they are still easy to store.
After you have figured out that you needed to save it as PNG or GIF you should then name your work then click save.
Job complete ;) happy saving.
