I have had some slides digitised so I could burn them on to CDs for
my family, but am having difficulties.
Intel iMac5,1, OS.X.4.6, iPhoto 6.05
I loaded them into iPhoto, then changed the titles from Meg...001
to things like "John 1977". I then used the "burn" facility on
iPhoto, but now find that the CD can only be read by iPhoto and not
pc.s. (Missing Manual p. 360)
When I tried again by "exporting" them from iPhoto to a "Burn" CD,
the titles reverted to Meg...001. Is there any way I can burn a CD
so the correct titles appear and it can be read by anyone else,
please. Would Photostudio do it but then I'd have to change all the
(150) titles again
Hi Richard,
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing
company
You can use iPhoto's burn feature to archive your photos and albums
for viewing in iPhoto only. If you want to create a disc to be viewed
on a Windows computer or by a photo processing company, you must use
the Finder.
1.In iPhoto, select the album or albums you want to burn to disc.
2.Choose File > Export.
3.Click File Export at the top of the Export Photos window.
4.In the File Export pane, change the desired options:
Format: Choose a file format for your exported images from the Format
pop-up menu. (Depending on the source of the images, you may want to
choose JPG to ensure compatibility.)
Size: If necessary, scale images to a specific size by specifying a
maximum width and height.
Name: Choose whether to export photos with their filenames, iPhoto
titles, or album name. Be sure to select the "Use extension" checkbox
to add the file format extensions (such as ".jpg" or ".tiff") to the
end of the photos' filenames, titles, or album names.
5.Click Export.
6.Choose a location for the photos you are exporting, then click OK.
7.When the export is finished, quit iPhoto.
8.Click the Finder icon in the Dock and insert a CD-RW disc or a
blank CD-R or DVD-R disc into your drive.
9.Drag the folder onto the disc's icon.
10.When the files have finished copying, choose File > Burn Disc, and
then click Burn.
Cheers,
Ronni
