For sharing your photos with others, why not just Export the photos that you want to a folder on the desktop and then use the photos here to burn your CD? First, select the pictures that you want, select File|Export, select Full Size Images on the File Export tab, click Export, and then choose your destination folder. This will simply copy the pictures from the iPhoto library to the folder that you choose.
