How to make a gift CD or DVD from Picasa
By Ada Grossman
1. Open Picasa, the folder panel is on the left. It names each folder. To the right of the folder panel is the light box which is the screen you will be working with when you edit your photos.
2. Across the top of the light box screen, find the following
Import, Slideshow, Timeline and Gift CD
3. Click Gift CD
4. Now look at the bottom center of the screen and to the left you will see a square with a 1 in a circle.
It will say Selection and Settings. Leave that alone for now.
Next to the box with the 1 is a box with a 2 in a circle. It will say Name the Gift CD
It should have the name of the folder that you want to burn to a CD in the rectangle.
5. To the Right of box 2 is a panel that says "Burn CD" with a circle and a check mark in it.
Click it.
Under that it says "eject" grayed out
Under that it says Cancel
Under that it says Help
6. Insert a blank CD or DVD into Drive E “burner drive”
It will say "This will require 1CD or 1DVD" or maybe 2 CD's
According to what you will need for the amount of pictures or video clips you selected to include on the gift CD that you are burning.
Give it a minute and then Click "WRITE"
After you click write a slide box will appear in the lower right for a few minutes, just wait and then it should finish and ask if you want to view/see it or eject it. I will tell you more about Box 1 and box 2 after you get this part. I don't want to give too much information.
It could be confusing.
