by mispie Nov 1, 2006 4:12AM PST

i am trying to burn some photo's to a cd and i'm not quite shure about how to so:

Photos to CD

If you're using XP, it will copy any files to CD. Whether XP or not, take a look at IrfanView (at www.irfanview.com). It's free, and while a bit quirky, seems to do a good job of photo stuff, including creating a slideshow on the CD.

Create A Data CD...

by Grif Thomas Forum moderator Nov 1, 2006 5:28AM PST

First, you'll need to find the folder where the actual photo files exist.. (It's usually in "My Documents/My Pictures" somewher) If you haven't saved the picture files to the computer yet, you'll need to connect the camera to the computer, then copy the pictures to a folder on the computer. Once that's done, then simply make a Data CD with your burner software and copy the picture files to the burner project. Depending on how much file space the pictures take, you can burn all, or some to the CD disk. Once that's done, simply burn the project to your disk.

Hope this helps.
