everyone can read

[shazam]

I am still new at this and hope i explain this properly. I am burnging photos to cd, no problem. What i did not know was that my grandchildren had to have the same programs that i use to burn the cd,s to. I am useing paint shop. They do not have paint shop so they are not able to open. My ? is, is there a softwear on program or what ever that i could use that everyone i send a cd to can read with out them buying the same program.I hope this makes sense to everyone out there.

Never used paint shop before. Whats the default file extention? If it uses one that other programs cant read then try saving with a other extention (ie. .JPG)

burnning the photos to a cd useing the standard jpeg file format can be read by any program, what your doing that is wrong is in the format of the cd in the first place.

the best way to do it, I have found is to creat a folder on you harddrive and call it what ever you want. copy all the photos there and file them into catigories to your likeing, then burn all the files to a data cd that can be viewed by any other computer, that way anything that can read a cd can see the pictures.
