[November 2005] Power Tip - Make a gift photo CD fast

[Laurent Van Winckel]

Celebrate special events by creating a photo CD you can send to friends
and family. It only takes a minute using Picasa, Google's free photo
software. After you've inserted a CD (or DVD) into your writeable
drive, open Picasaand select the folder of photos you'd like on CD.
Click the "Gift CD" button and follow the on-screen instructions to add
more photo folders, include aslideshow, set the picture size, and name
your CD. For friends who want to save and view the photos to their
computer, include a copy of the Picasa software (it's only 3.9MB).
Click the "Burn Disc" button and Picasa will do the rest. For a nice
finishing touch, add a customized photo CD cover: select a picture and
click the "Print" button (go to Tools > Options > Printing to add "CD
cover size" as one of the layout options).
