Hello,
I have been a PC user since I was lil.. just recently work bought me a new macbook pro, its real nice and pretty.. got 250gb hd, 2g ram, a core 2 duo..similar to my home PC processor a E8400.
Anyway, I brought my new laptop with me to Disney with my lady friend and her family, I took a whole buncha shots and every night at the hotel I imported them into Iphoto.
At the end of the vacation, I got home and wanted to burn the pictures I had taken to a DVD, this was a very confusing thing since.. I did not see any DVD burning software.
I knew I could.. I saw and heard of it before... so after fiddling around alot! I finally managed to burn pictures to a DVD.. but heres the problem.. after I burned them I viewed them on my PC.. ALOT of the pictures are crap!
I know its not my camera.. it looks like I burned a bunch of thumbnails instead of the real pictures. So I got on the laptop and I cannot find any of the original pictures.
Normally I set every picture to 3-5 megapixel, fine to super fine resolution, decently high ISO.
Some of the unaffected ones are in the normal range 600k-1mb.. but the only pictures that I even cared about are 15k-30k thumbnails!!!! I cant print this stuff, zoomed up it looks horrible..
Could anyone help me? Do I need to restore lost data? and why do the thumbnails have the same name as the originals.. what the heck kinda crap is that. And what in the world kind of program allows someone to copy thumbnails or previews of pictures.. how is that even possible.. why would that be an option.. who does that??
