Subject: RE: Tech: saving photos to dvds
I have an HP with a DVD burner, and the computer always offers to add a viewer when I burn photos to CD. I think Nero should offer to add a viewer also.

TIFFs are files that are huge and are difficult for some programs to use or recognize. You might want to experiement a little, between JPG and PNG, for example (PNG is larger but is not "lossy" like JPG files, so if someone makes copies from your media to use elsewhere it won't lose any of its luster in being saved again a time or two. The same can't be said of a JPG). JPG files do a kind of "averaging" at the intersection of each color pixel in the image and after a while there is blurring and a loss of definition and clarity.

I move lots of photos around in Nero and make disks of photos from work for publications so the files have to be large and sharp. I'm not sure what the difficulty is you're encountering. Nero has a lot of applications that come in the package and you might want to mouse over each icon--it gives you a description of what the application does. Actually, I love finding some little app in there that I didn't realize they'd included that does some nifty little thing I hadn't thought about. Nero can offer some pleasant surprises.
