copy photos cd

[Peter Law]

I have copied photos of my daughters wedding to a cd
using the XP wizard. It worked fine, however, if I send
the cd to someonelse will they be able to see the
pictures if they don't have XP?

If not can I copy the photos in such a way as they will
open on , say, windows 98?

Hope someone can help because I promised to send them -
before I thought about it!

Don't know how many you have, but you can insert them into Paint (one at a
time, unfortunately for a big bunch) and save each as jpeg (recommended) or
gif files via File>Save as... to get the dialog box. These are your
universal webpage picture formats, opened by almost every browser in
existence on current and earlier versions of Windows or Mac.

Thought of this after I posted first time. Do you have Power Point (in MS
Office) or another photo editing program like Paint Shop ? I know, bucause
I use it, that Power Point has the ability to convert slide photos to gif or
jpeg formats. Load pictures as a slide show, then right click on each
picture. Select "Save as Picture..." in the pop-up menu; this gets a dialog
box for name, format, and file location. Then you can burn them to CD from
the selected folder. Other programs like Adobe Paint Shop may/should have
the same ability but I'm not familiar with them. Hope this helps without to
much confusion.
