Can anyone tell me if this Adobe Photoshop will make a cd/dvd that you can put pictures along with music on it?? I don't see it anywhere online or on the box and I don't want to spend 80 bucks if it doesn't..

I am pretty sure you can't. But we do have some PhotoShop users here. I'll give 'em a buzz.

Thanks! If not, does anyone know what program (fairly cheap) I could use for this?

If you have Vista then you can use Windows Movie Maker to add the photo's and the sound or music you like and add effects to the photo's if you want to. Then export the project to DVD. It will give you a warning that it will open Windows DVD Maker and then Windows DVD Maker will burn it to disk for you.

If you happen to have PowerPoint, you can make a PP show with music and then package to CD. If you need instructions, let me know. Here is an example that I made like this - or this one, which is a little different.
Note: the fact that the transitions are sometimes a little choppy has nothing to do with PowerPoint. It stems from the video capture of the predentations that those are. n PP they would show like this. (which I did not make myself).

1. Yes the music is a little tricky. You need .wav files, but with a trick, we can make .mp3 files work too. Do you currently have a presentation and only need to add the music. Then I will explain that - or do you have more basic questions?
2. Regarding the capacity you have to check the filesize and compare that to the capacity of your CD or DVD (which would be better).

I just looked at the Movie Maker and that looks neat too! I am having trouble getting my music to come over. I think there is a path that isn't right or something??

I am just making a cd with a bunch of the soccer team pictures and I wanted to add music. I think I can do the pictures, just need help with the music.

In WMM, just "import" a music file and drag it on top of the first picture. You will get a message regarding "timeline" that you can ignore. But if you are already setup for timeline, drag the music into the lower part.

Can you explain in greater detail? What do you mean by a music file and dragging it? I see where it says audio or music. Do I click on that and then get a song out of my files??? This is all foreign to me. sorry..

The songs I will be using is on my itunes. Someone said earlier they have to be wav. and I need to convert somehow first? I tried dragging a song and it had the red circle with the line through it.
