Hi Bill,
I thought I had virtually explained how to do this by exporting the photos from
within iPhoto making sure you have the export settings correctly to show Titles
etc, in my first reply to you.
Are all the images of "Granny South" in an Event or Album in iPhoto?
If so:
A) 1. In iPhoto
2. Select all the images in the Event or Album.
3. Go to "Photos"(in Menu) > "Batch change" Set Title to Text - type in
Granny South - check "Append a number to each photo"
Then click 'OK'
4. Select all the pics in this event and go File -> Export
5. In the dialogue window - File Export button
Kind: JPEG
JPEG Quality: Maximum
INCLUDE: check - Title and Keywords
Size: Full Size
File Name: Use Title
Subfolder format: None
NOTE: In the Export dialogue be sure to include the option to use the Title as
File Name!
6. Click Export
7. In the Second Pane of the Export dialogue click on ‘New Folder’, and
name the Folder ‘Granny South’, click Create.
8. Click 'OK' to Complete the Export.
9. Quit iPhoto
Result a Folder called 'Granny South' with all the pics inside named ‘Granny
South01, 02, 03...’
B) Burn the Granny South folder to a CD
1. Select the Granny South folder that is sitting on your Desktop
2. File > Burn 'Granny Smith' to Disc
3. Insert a Blank Disc
4. Disc Name: Granny South
5. Burn Speed: Maximum Possible (or what ever you speed you normally
use)
6. Click 'Burn'
7. When the disc has completed the burn
Check your CD and you will see all your photos ... Titled 'Granny South
-1.jpg; Granny South -2.jpg etc
Cheers,
Ronni

Below is an extract from my first reply email to you:
B) How to Export Photos From iPhoto with Titles and Descriptions:
1 Select (highlight) a photo or multiple and then click on “File” from
the top Menu Bar and then click “Export” from the list. (Optionally you can hit
SHIFT-COMMAND-E)If you would like to export a large quantity of photos, I would
recommend selecting an entire “Event” full of photos and exporting it to its
own folder named the same as your iPhoto Event.
2 Choose the “File Export” tab from the top of this new window. The main
thing you’re looking for here is the “Include:” boxes in the middle of this
window.
You want to put a check mark next to “Title and keywords” if you want your
metadata such as title, description and keywords to be “embedded” into your the
image that you are about to create in the export.
Unfortunately, for whatever reason Apple has, you can only choose this box if
you choose “JPEG” or “TIFF” from the “Kind” option at the top.
For the “File Name“, you can choose “Use Title” if you would like the new image
to be labeled now with the title you gave it inside of iPhoto.
3 Click “Export” and then choose where you would like to save this new
image — such as your desktop— and then click “ok.”
The filename will default to your given “title” if you chose that in the prior
menu. You can change this here though if you would like. When you are done
click “ok.”
So now, if you look on the desktop, you should see your image. You can do with
it as you please.
