Making Kiosk-Friendly Discs Using iPhoto
iPhoto has a tendency to include both original files and low-resolution thumbnails, making it difficult to print the correct files when using our in-store ordering kiosks. To avoid inadvertantly making prints from the thumbnails, follow the instructions below to burn a disc from your Mac.
- In iPhoto, select the album or albums you want to burn to disc.
- Choose File > Export.
- Click File Export at the top of the Export Photos window.
- In the File Export pane, change the desired options:
- Format: Choose a file format for your exported images from the Format pop-up menu. (Depending on the source of the images, you way want to choose JPG to ensure compatibility.)
- Size: If necessary, scale images to a specific size by specifying a maximum width and height.
- Name: Choose whether to export photos with their filenames, iPhoto titles, or album name. Be sure to select the "Use Extension" checkbox to add the file format extensions (such as ".jpg" or ".tiff") to the end of the photos' filenames, titles or album names.
- Click Export.
- Choose a location for the photos you are exporting, then click OK.
- When the export is finished, quit iPhoto.
- Click the Finder icon in the Dock and insert a blank CD-R or DVD-R disc into your drive.
- Drag the folder onto the disc's icon.
- When the files have finished copying, choose File > Burn Disc, and then click Burn.
