Burning Photos on CD

If you want to burn a CD to share with someone else, please beware of the following:

  • DO NOT USE the burn CD icon in iPhoto (it will create a photo CD which is really only usable by someone else with iPhoto)
  • Instead follow these steps:
  • go to a computer with a CD burner and login
  • in the Finder, go to File>>New Burn Folder
  • select the photos or album that you wish to burn, and drag your photos to the burn folder
  • iPhoto will then copy the photos to that folder
  • switch back to the Finder, and drag the burn folder to the trash
  • you will be prompted to burn the cd at which point, you will put in a burnable CD-R disk
