Hi guys,

6 months ago, I backed up about 5,000 photos that were stored in iphoto onto a DVD. I did this by clicking "export" on iPhoto.

I got the new version, iPhoto 09 as well as a freshly installed OS X. Today, I inserted the DVD and found out only 3,800 photos were shown!

--------

Please be reminded that I've hidden some photos (1,200 to be exact) in which I didn't want others to see. Are they all gone missing because I've hidden those photos when backing up?

It hardly makes sense, whether hidden or not, when I want to export my whole iPhoto library, it should back up everything, right? I'm trying to find whether I can find my hidden photos on my DVD, but I can't.

Please help me,
