Ubuntu

download to CD-R from email

Asked by sulvia1

I receive photos from Flickr but do not see options for ordering pictures. I wanted to copy to CD-R so I can upload onto Walgreen's website and order prints of the pictures and make a screen saver photoshow.

I have the necessary hard drive disk space and memory; I just don't know the steps if it is possible to do this.

Thanks!

Thanks for your question.

You can't burn your pictures to cd, without saving them first on your harddrive. Yahoo is offering a transfer to a different hosting services, like it's own Flickr service. You might want to take this chance to save your pictures until you get a bigger harddrive?

     Is the Flickr service part of the yahoo pictures ? Is if is , would I end up losing my pictures when yahoo discontinues the picture service ? My harddrive is big enough , but I still don't understand why we have to download there before saving on our CD-R ? Could there possibly be an application that I might need to add from my main applications ? Thank you for your help

Flickr belangs to yahoo. They bought it a few monts ago. So they had two services and discontinued the less one with less success. If you transfer your pictures to flickr, you don't loose pictures. You will loose them if you do nothing.

There is *no* application which can burn images directly from a webservice. It's just to slow for burning.

I still don't get why this is important to you, when your hardrive is big enough?

The reason that you cannot burn directly to a CD is that the file system (iso) has so many error detection techniques built in that you need to know all the files that will go onto the disk before you can burn them. Otherwise computers will detect that the disk is corrupt.
