"... but I can't add to it?" Probably not. I don't use Picasa but I doubt it has an option to burn/continue a "multi-session" disc. If you have a separate burning program that allows it, you can try it to see if it works for you. I've never really used it and don't remember why. If you use an "RW" disk you can erase the disc and burn it again. You have to burn everything though, old photos as well as new. I gave up on rewritable discs a long time ago because, at least at that time, they didn't seem to be very reliable. Maybe they are now, I don't know. Personally, I'd probably pick up a USB flash-drive or two(for duplication). Quicker, easier and probably more reliable. I'm no expert though.

I use Paint Shop Pro to rename the "Batch" and I make sure they all have the same name and then just number them for instance: 2007-07 tripname01, 2007-07 tripname02, 2007-07 tripname03 and then the second group would be, 2007-11 tripname01, 2007-11 tripname02, 2007-11 tripname03 Put them all on the cd and open it. You can then go to the Menu Bar and click on "View" and click on "arrange icons by" "name". Then I just use the slideshow software on the computer(if it's XP) I am using to show things with the overhead. Arlene

Try this: Create a folder on the H/D and name it as you wish. Mine is called Stand By. Place your CD in the drive, most likely d:/ and open Windows Explorer. In Windows Explorer click on the numeric serial number of the CD in its drive. The contents of the CD will appear in the large right window. In the small left window click on the + in front of the C:/ drive. This will open the system tree showing the folders of the drive. Locate the target picture in the large right window, and drag and drop it to the file you newly created. From there you can do anything you want with it, and the original will remain on the CD. DA

Here's Nita's post A good friend of mine's asked my husband to do her wedding pictures. My husband is not a professional photographer, but he has a good camera and takes pictures for friends and family as a gift if asked and for special occasions. He has been doing this for years and has his own policy of not releasing his negatives. He will however, make as many pictures from the negatives as they want, sizes included. Sometimes that is an additonal gift and sometimes he will charge exactly what it costs to reproduce. We do not profit at all from his picture taking. He never charges any fee. It is one of his hobbies and he does a pretty good job. My friend was having a small wedding and asked my husband to take the pictures. I toldher that he would be happy to do so and that it would even be our gift to them, album included. I told her that he did not release his negatives and she said that she wouldn't need them anyway...that she just wanted the pictures. I might add that I was her Matron of Honor. We prepared the album, gave them all of the remaining pictures, be they good or bad shots and told them to choose some to reproduced into larger sizes. Today she called me and said that the groom's sister wants to borrow the CD to scan and do her own thing. She said that she sis in law would return the CD. Hubby tells me that a CD is the same as negatives and that he does not give those out. He said that he will reproduce anything that they desire. He said that no photographer wil release his negatives or cd's. I am in a bad place because these are friends and I feel that we may have some hurt feelings here or something to mar our friendship. We have spent over $100.00 so far including purchasing the album. I do not have the exact figure. He took a lot of pictures, rolls and rolls. Are we wrong? Should we concede because they are good friends. GIve me your input.
