liamjake05, a few things:
(1) Imaging SD card storage doesn't necessarily make it a live boot or even bootable. It puts it into an image file (*.img or *.iso), which from your initial post, is what you said you wanted.
(2) You've said you don't want dd, and now you want lessons.
(3) You're coming off as more demanding than appreciative or cooperative.
(4) Others, including the LL creator, have chimed in.
(5) It's been a business week.
A combination of the following should explain what's happening when using dd:
(A) Type the following into a terminal:(B) View the following video

BUT,
I think it would be simpler to use the Archive Manager in Linux Lite and combine what's on your SD card into a *.iso file. It's like zipping it using WinZip, but instead you're zipping it into a *.iso (ie. image) file. If that isn't sufficient, and if Disks gave you an issue over your partitions, Clonezilla would be a suitable choice. Clonezilla should be able to image your entire SD card with partitions into a single image file.
