| 1149631 | 2010-11-02 01:50:00 | The easiest way would be if it had a card reader. And if youre using a digital cam with a memory card. Then you wont have to scan themI have a digital camera and card reader but that won't help me. These are old black and white photos that I want to save and put on a DVD. Nothing is easy eh.? | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1149632 | 2010-11-02 01:54:00 | In that case you'll have to scan them. Unless you take photos with the cam then use the card reader | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Scan the old pics into a folder, label the pics and burn that folder or pics straight to DvD as you normally burn stuff. Basically what you have been doing so far I guess. That's the easiest way I can think of. |

I thought there may be an easier way of doing it, but I guess not. | Pato (2463) | ||

You mean renaming the pics as they are scanned? Only way I can think of is right-click and choose "rename" once they are scanned. |

| 1149636 | 2010-11-02 03:44:00 | If you have your photos in Picassa the easist way is to click each thumbnail to highlight it then right click the t/nail. From the drop down menu, select "View & Edit". The window that opens will allow you to do all sorts of basic editing of the image before putting it into a folder prior to burning but additionally you can click "Make A Caption", bottom centre of the image. then type in a Title for your photo. This should appear on the burnt image. I think this is what you meant by naming your photos. If you haven't fot Picassa , it's a free download. | willbry (1555) | ||

I will try it that way. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1149638 | 2010-11-02 04:39:00 | If you have the negatives to the photos and your scanner can scan negatives do it that way, or take photos of them with a digital camera. :) |
