Hi guys, I am a new member and I never burned photos directly from Aperture … is there anyway to do this or should I use iPhoto ? Thank you for your advice.

Maurice,
Welcome to the forums. Do you mean that you wan to burn them to a CD/DVD? Is this for backup, or some other purpose?
There is no “burn” command in Aperture. If you want them on a CD or DVD, you’ll need to export the files and burn them to a disk manually. This is very simple in OS X, however you’ll need to know what file size you need first—determined by what you’ll be using the photos for.
Give us a little more info please and we’ll set you on the way.

Thanks Joseph. Thought Aperture had a feature to burn CD / DVD. Basically I would like to burn photos into a CD / DVD to print them out. Yesterday I was trying to burn them in iPhoto but did not let me burn into a CD but a DVD only. Do you know any other way?
Maurice,
Just export the files as you want them, and then in the Finder, when you insert a blank CD or DVD into your Mac, you’ll see it appear just like any other hard drive except that it’ll have a Burn button in the window. Copy the files to it, and click Burn… and that’s it!

Thank you Joseph. Very easy. You are right, don’t need to use iPhoto for this. Thank you so much.
There is also the BurnToDisc plugin that simplifies the task even further, can automatically span multiple discs and provides some additional workflow features.
