copying to cd

[JRGloeckler]

I"m new to Elements 3.
I shoot raw, import from a card reader and slightly adjust the photos in camera raw before placing into a collection.
My problem is trying to copy individule photos to a cd or dvd to take to a print shop.
How do I do this? Your help is appreciated, thanks. Jerry

Hi Jerry

Welcome to the forums.

If you are using XP you can just drag them to your burner and Windows will do it for you, or you could use Roxio or Nero (probably came with your burner). If you want to use Elements, in the Organizer part, select the photos you want to burn and copy or burn (sorry can't remember which one).

If you are just doing this to take to the photolab, I would probably use Windows and "copy" the file when you drag it. If you want Elements to store these photos on CD then you have to use the organizer and make them available offline

I hope this helps a bit. I don't use organizer for burning (yet) so I could have been a bit mixed up in my terminology.

No matter which way you do it, save any original you have (that you care about) to a cd or dvd before your hard drive crashes.

Any more questions please ask.

Gary.
