Burning images to a dvd

I'm new to Apple and Aperture and I have tried to burn some full resolution edited images to a DVD.

I have edited images in aperture and with NIK software. As a result I have two versions, the original and the edited version. I have rated the original image as 3 star, to show I am working on the image, and 5 star for the edited version.

I then filtered to a 5 star rating to select the edited version only and dragged them across to a DVD. They burned onto the DVD but all as low resolution images. How do I get Full resolution images onto a dvd?

Help please.

Terry, if you drag from the Aperture Browser window to a folder in the Finder you export the Preview image of the edited version, not the full resolution version.

To export the full resolution version select your images in the Browser and use the "File" menu:

File -> Export

and select an export preset with "original size" in the name.

But a video DVD would not be able to render to full resolution. Do you mean to use a data DVD, as you would a CD?

I recently photographed a christening and the Mum wants a disc of full res images so that she can print hi quality pictures. Some images are around 18mb. In the dragged across images they were around 700-800kb in size

Understood, and Leonie's advice re what takes place when dragging is your answer. I was just making sure you were talking about a data disc, and not video DVD.
