How do I copy a photo CD

[chrismass]

Do I need special equipment to copy a photopass CD? Or if I do, does anyone know if I can go to a store to have them copied?
Thanks!

Your computer has to have a CD burner - and most newer computers come with it. You can't just copy or save the files - you need to "burn" it onto a blank CD using software that comes with the burner. The easiest way would be to copy the files from the Photopass CD onto your hard drive. Then put a blank CD in and in most cases the software will start and you just follow the directions - usually pretty easy. Just make sure you know where you saved the files on your hard drive.

Never having gotten the PhotoPass CD (I plan to in September) I don't know if it has any kind of protection that would prevent you from copying the files onto your computer.

No, they provide an image of a release on the CD, essentially stating that you own the images. If Walgreens or another retail location gives you a hard time about reproducing pics or the CD itself, they can look at the release.

Individual pics purchased are not supposed to be reproduced, but once you buy the CD, you're good.
