Burning CDs for users without iPhoto
Authored by: cynomyso on Mar 27, '03 11:18:24AM

I've been taking my photos to Wal-Mart to have printed. The first time I did this, I burned them to a CD from within iPhoto. When I stuck the CD in the photo kiosk at Wal-Mart, the photos that had been modified in anyway, including being rotated, were displayed multiple times. Instead of simply being able to print all photos, I had to carefully pick the ones that I wanted. I then started using the method described at the root of this thread and got exactly what I expected and was able to simply say, "print all".

If you are using it to send CDs to friends, I'd suggest using the "Export to HTML" option with "BetterHTMLexporter" plugin available at versiontracker.

This provides the added benefit of an "index page" of thumbnails and an easy way for anyone (Mac, Windows, Linux) to view your images in a browser.

BetterHTML exporter also has the option to export the original images. That way your view has a thumbnail, VGA quality web image and full quality image.

Finally, if you want to avoid menus, you can just select all the pictures in iPhoto and drag them to the CDR icon on your desktop.

iPhoto keeps your original "unmodified" pitures around so that you may undo the modifications. (Red-Eye, rotate, etc...)

If you know that you will not be needing the originals any more, (you want to make the changes permanate) I suggest using iPhoto Diet from http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~fuhrer/personal/freestuff/
This program removes all the old copies and only keeps the one with the most recent changes applied.

You mentioned that when you took the CD to Wal-mart, if had both original and full size copies on it. When you do the export, check to see whether you choose Original (Unmodified), or Full Size (modified) or both.

It sounds like you might have choosen both by mistake.
