Default crap! I found the down side to mac... help?

I went to burn a cd of a recent session I did for a friend. Because I have a mac, I burn from iphoto. When she tried to open the photos on her PC it said she couldn't because she doesnt have Iphoto. So.. I google and seems like I would have to purchase uploading software to be able to let anyone with a PC be able to see any photos that I burn? Anyone had this problem OR better yet, anyone have a FREE fix to this? LOL!

You can definitely do it for free. How did you do the CD?

The way I do it is just to export all the photos to a folder on the desktop as .jpgs (or somewhere else easy to find) then just drag the photos to the CD once you put it in and burn it. Should work on any machine.

ahh... I didn't try that.

I put them all in Iphoto and clicked burn. My dh told me that was the only way to burn them. I will have to try to do it your way!

I open the dvd in Finder and just click and drag my photos from one file to the dvd file and burn. I just did one and it works on my husband's PC.

I did have an issue the other day where my disc didn't completely close, so that was embarrassing, so just make sure you eject and reinsert the disc to make sure it got written correctly!

Since day dot I have always used a program called Toast on my Macs. It lets you preset formats and build savable disk images. Its drag drop and burn. Very handy.It also stops closure issues it will verify discs before your toast is ready.

I looked at that, but it cost $100.00... which I don't want to spend. Not now anyway.. maybe down the road if I feel it is worth it. Thanks though!
