I took a bunch of portraits for someone, and im trying to put them on a disk to give to the person. I put all the pictures onto a disk (a CD, one meant for music) from my Mac, then i tested it out on a PC to make sure it all worked.
The pictures came up, but i only got thumbnails of the pictures, the PC wouldn't let me open up the picture files all the way.
This is because im trying to transfer from a Mac to a PC right?

How can i get the picture files to open completely on the PC?

((Im not very tech savvy, so talk everything down a bit. Hah.))

no it's not because of mac to pc. Picture files are not platform specific. I move them from pc to mac to linux all the time, just make sure that you put the full pictures on the disc and not just the thumbnails and you will be fine.



As a quick side, how did you put them on the CD? did you use a program or just drag and drop and burn?

You could have just accidentally copied over shortcuts to the files and not the files themselves or it could be that you don't have an application on the pc registered against the file type. Are they jpegs or gif or another file type.
