Burning Pictures

Computers have programs built-in that will allow users to burn photos onto a blank DVD+R disk. For Windows, the computer's burning wizard will pop up as soon as you enter a blank DVD+R disk into your disc drive. For a Mac, users will have to locate the burner by opening the "Finder," clicking "Applications" and then "Utilities," opening the "System Profiler" and then clicking on the option for "Disc Burning."
