Is there some trick to saving a number of graphics files to CD, so that they can subsequently be "seen" as individual files by generic file utilities (E.g. Windows Explorer), thus making them easy to share with others. I thought this would be a trivial task, but I find I can't even save a number of such files so that MY machine can read them (except for Nero Burning, which created them)! (*&%@!%$ 8-|) I want to be able to see, and load, individual files from a burned CD, be they TIFF, JPEG or PSD, and have the default applicaion launched to view them. Is this actually difficult, or (more likely) am I just doing something stupid? TIA for any clues

hmmm....... I save mine to cd with Nero too, and generally have no trouble viewing them and generally use ACDSee to view them.... think I got it from a CD on a mag, but pretty sure it's downloadable somewhere. I find it pretty good, coz you can set the sorting and size of the thumbnails etc. Hope it helps! Mike (",) p.s. lack of knowledge isn't stupidity....it's just that you haven't come across what you need to know before.....

be sure you add your file extentions.... .jpg,.gif,.wma,.psd,....etc. ALL image files WITH the proper extensions ARE cross platform and should be able to be viewed by anyone with a simple graphics program...even explorer. .psd, .ai (and those corel files) are a different story... these sometimes will not be viewable by software that cannot read files with multiple layers. BUT...QUICKTIME will open everything. even layered files...for me at least.

Okay, sounds like it ought to be as straightforward as I originally thought. I'm off to give it another shot (and THIS time, I'll check to make sure those pesky file extensions are there!) Happy Easter, guys!
