Can someone explain the odd behaviour of iPhoto to me?
I took some photographs of my grand-daughter using a digital camera which I
then loaded into iPhoto. The photos needed cropping and the eradication of
"red eye". This I did within iPhoto, and having cropped and edited the
photos I saved them, and then burnt them on to a CD and took them down to the
local photo shop to print.

The results were strange. They were the original photos before I had
cropped and edited them, and were printed un-cropped and complete with the
red eye I thought I had eradicated.

How did this happen. I know I saved them after working on them. I've gone
back to iPhoto before writing this, and the photos are sitting there cropped
and edited as I left them.

What am I doing wrong here?

When you choose to export them, there is an option to export the
current or original version. Also, if you choose a specific export
format (e.g. JPEG or TIFF), you have a choice to make from the Size
popup.

If you choose to "Burn" from the Sharing menu, you get a copy of your
Library (or the selected subset) and it is burned in the iPhoto Library
folder structure. In that case, both the original and edited versions
will be on your disc and it is up to you to select the correct one.

iPhoto keeps the originals as a fallback position, in case you ever get
yourself down an editing path and want to back out.

For burning to a CD to take in for printing, I would recommend using
the File->Export command, select the File Export tab in the ensuing
dialog, and make sure you choose Current from the first popup menu.

How exactly did you go about burning them to a CD? iPhoto, by design,
retains the original photos so that you can always revert to them,
regardless of what you've done in editing them, but you'd normally have
to go out of your way to burn the originals to disc, so knowing how you
proceeded will help figure out what happened.
