A CD is a digital medium. The quality of the picture will not change once placed on disc, emailed, or transfered in any other way which leaves the file format intact and unchanged.

The CD burning process will not alter the pictures in any way, assuming you are just making a data CD and placing the pictures on it. They will be the same quality on the disc as they will be on your hard drive, no more and no less. In fact, they will be identical.

They will be identical when back on the computer!

Go Nero Express>>Data>>Data Disc, assuming you have the same version I do.

Click it, then you will be presented with

So click Add, then you will get the following screen:

Simply select the folders of images you would like on the CD, and click Add. The folders and files will appear on the CD, and it will tell you how much of the disk is used up by the photos, represented by the blue bar.

Click Finish, and you will then be taken through the rest of the wizard to burn the cd.
