Also, you won't be able to work on the images from the disc, beacause the disc would be rendered un-writable after you burn it. You'll always want to work on the images from the hard drive.
about the only editing i do on my pics is resizing & renaming. i keep a folder of the originals & then resize &/or rename to a different folder. i also make a redundant copy of the originals folder to an external hard drive & also burned to a cd.
for resizing &/or renaming in any size "batch", i have found nothing easier to use than
Fastone Photo Resizer
according to their
website, this might be a cool feature for some as well:
