Digital pictures stored on discs remove the need for printed pictures.
With the advent of the digital camera, people are moving away from keeping bulky photo albums. Instead, they are choosing to keep digital pictures. By placing the pictures onto a computer, you can view, show and share those pictures with anyone you want. If you want to store the pictures or provide archives to someone else, placing the pictures onto a CD or DVD is a perfect choice. Placing pictures onto a CD and DVD also allows you to view them on your television through a high-quality DVD player.
Instructions
1. Press the eject button on the CD or DVD recorder tray. Insert a CD-R or DVD-R into the tray, label-side up, and close the tray.
2. Open a Windows Explorer window on your computer. Go to the folder where you stored the picture files.
3. Open a second Windows Explorer window and go to the CD- or DVD-recorder drive, usually named (D: ) or (E: ).
4. Highlight the picture files you want to copy from the first Window Explorer window by clicking on one file name at a time while holding down the Crtl key. You can highlight all of the files by clicking on one file name then pressing the Ctrl and A keys simultaneously.
5. Right-click on one of the highlighted file titles then choose "Copy" from the pop-up window.
6. Click in the second Windows Explorer window. Right-click in the window and choose "Paste" to transfer the files to the drive window.
7. Click the "Burn to..." button in the upper-right portion of the drive window. If you're working with a CD-R, it will say "Burn to CD." If it's a DVD-R, it will read "Burn to DVD."
8. Type in the desired name for the disc into the title field of the "Prepare to Burn" pop-up window. For example, you can type "Car" or "Wedding" or "Birthday" for easy recognition of what photos are on the disc.
9. Click the "Next" button to begin burning the pictures onto the disc. When done, the disc tray will eject automatically.
