How to Copy Photos to CD to Watch on TV

Digital technology has not only changed the photographs are taken and stored, it has also changed the way those pictures can be viewed. Once a digital camera's internal memory disc or removable memory card is full of pictures, download them to your home computer to view and edit them. Another way to view your digital pictures is to create a picture CD and view them on your home television.

Things You'll Need

Blank CD's
Home computer with CD burner

Instructions

- 1
  Remove the memory card from your digital camera, insert the card into your computer's card reader or use an external card reader connected to your home computer. Download the pictures contained on the card to your photo's folder on the computer's hard drive.

  Open the folder containing the pictures and quickly view the pictures to make sure the vertical shots are in the correct vertical position. Some digital cameras will automatically rotate vertical pictures into that position. If your camera does not automatically do this, click the photos that need to be rotated and rotate them clockwise or counterclockwise to the correct position.
