Once you have given them a CD you give them the right to make prints and edit the photographs how they wish. If you gave them the CD unedited then they took the "artist right" to edit it how they saw fit. Legally they have the right. This is unfortunately a learning lesson.
I have dealt with this in my career and hope you don't mind me giving you my advice. If you are going to give someone a CD, charge for it. You are undercutting yourself and working for nothing. Also, understand that whatever is the quality of your work when you hand it over, that is what the public will see. I never hand out an image unless it looks like I want it to look. You are only as good as your best image and the photographs that others see.
I hope this helped, if you have any questions feel free to let me know.
