I recently got married and wanted to send out thank-you notes
together with hundreds of photos our guests took using the cameras
we put on the tables. href="http://picasa.google.com/" >Picasa made the process super
easy.

In Picasa, select the folder with your pictures. Click the
"Gift CD" button and follow the instructions to set your
picture size and CD name. To add a nice effect, check the
"Include Slideshow" box — this adds a slideshow
presentation that plays when the CD is launched (way more fun than
a boring list of files). For recipients who might enjoy saving the
photos and viewing them later, check the box to include a copy of
Picasa on the CD (it's only 3.9MB). Click "Burn Disc"
and Picasa creates the CD.

The finishing touch: a customized photo CD cover. Select a picture
and click the "Print" button. Here's what it looks
like:
onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"
href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/uploaded_images/cdcover-712292.GIF" >
style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;"
src="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/uploaded_images/cdcover-771317.GIF"
border="0" alt="" />
In the top menu, go to to Tools > Options > Printing, select
CD Label Size and click OK. Set CD Label as your layout size and
print.

You're done — and now I'm done with my thank-you
"work." I'm happy to report the photo CDs were a big
hit.
