Very enlightening discussion. In regards to my photos, I don't modify
them or add any extra information or tags so they are what they are and
no worries as to losing any extra info. But, it sounds like copying
them to an external drive would be the way to go and just use the
CD/DVD's as a convenient redundant archive. Which brings another
question to mind. What about self-created audio CD/DVDs? I have a very
extensive Grateful Dead audio collection that I've been putting to
CD/DVD over the years. Same issues as with photo CD's?

As laptops have died over the years I've scavenged the small HD's,
reformatted them, and placed them in USB enclosures to use as external
storage devices. Sounds like I should dig them out and transfer my
photo CD's to them.

The Export feature of Photos seems to work very well when creating and
exporting exact copies of what is sitting in Photos (unmodified
originals as imported from my camera).
