Slideshow photo frames

I love the frames used in the "scrapbooking" slideshow theme and am wondering where i could get those to use in actual prints of my photos. Anyone know where them come from?

Where the actual ones used in the theme come from? Apple probably fashioned those themselves. That said I googled ‘antique frames Photoshop’ and found this

which has links to tutorials for making frames in Photoshop.

Digital Photo Frame and Slideshows?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a digital photo frame that could play a slideshow created with iPhoto (or iDVD), including transitions, Ken Burns effects and music.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Any photoframe that can play .mov files, because that's the only way to get a Slideshow out of iPhoto - by using the File -> Export command to make a Quicktime Movie.

Sequencing images in iphoto slideshow for photo frame playback via flash drive

I have created a slide show in iphoto and saved it to a flash drive. I want the show to play in a particular sequence. On the computer that works. When playing the show via the flash drive on my Pandigital Photo Frame, however, the images randomize. The images have numbered filenames, and the shuffle function on the photo frame is turned off. What do I need to do differently?

When I connected the frame to the computer, no photo files showed, not even when I added the flash drive to the frame.
The sequence of the files on the flash drive is numerical, just what I am after. Something seems to be happening within the frame. In addition, while I have placed no files into the frame's internal memory, and none show up, when I play the slideshow, files that I once had in the slideshow file but later deleted, still appear!?

Photo frame export from iphoto

i bourght a digital photo frame recently but am having trouble exportin from my iphoto library.
I need to export to the native resolution of the frame which is 480x234 to optimise the number of photos I can fit on the memory card (any larger is just a waste of memory because the frame shrinks the oversized picture to the frame resolution).
The problem is that when I uncheck the "full-size image box" I can't enter the desired size in the fields below, I get 480x380 as iphoto tried to preserve the 4:3 aspect ratio.
is there any way around this? can I change the aspect ratio to 16:9?
any help please?
cheers
Steve

Steve:
You can get exactly what you want by using Resize! as follows:
1- create a new folder on the desktop and drag your chosen photo into it.
2 - launch Resize! and under the Box resizing section put in your dimensions. You can also set the quality level for the files also in order to reduce the overall file size even more to what you want. I found that Decent (60) was plenty good enough for the digital frame that I have. It took my 2272 x 1704 files (at 1.7-2MB each) down to 480 x 234 and around 20KB each in size. That helps the frame read and transition the files much quicker.
The application creates a second folder with the resized images. So you can experiment with several settings to get what works best for you.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

IOS 5 - Photo Frame

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue...
Since updating to iOS 5, I can no longer use the lock screen photo frame while streaming music/slideshow to the Apple TV2.
Is it because I need to change a setting I'm unaware of?

Wish I had an answer... I may be having the same problem. A few weeks after installing iOS 5, I started noticing that the pictures I was taking were looking really pixelated and bad. Thought something was wrong with the camera. Then some photos started disappearing, replaced with either blackness or a fuzzy-looking gray photo frame. Then the ap started to freeze while scrolling. Then my albums started to shuffle the order around. Now some albums just disappear temporarily. I'm still able to sync photos to my Mac, but I just erase them from my phone, because they're useless there now.
Is this similar to what you've been experiencing?

Export iPhoto slide show to Sony DPF-D70 digital photo frame?

Can I export an iPhoto 08 slideshow to the memory of a Sony DPF-D70 7" digital photo frame? If so, how is it done?
I would forever be grateful for any assistance.

The only thing you can do is export the slideshow as a Quicktime movie. You can do this in the File -> Export dialogue. Can this device play a Quicktime movie?

Digital Photo Frames

OK, how do I get photo's from iPhoto back onto my SD card in my camera?
I've tried to drag and drop an image from the library into the camera source folder but that doesn't work.
I've unmounted my camera while its still on hoping that I can find my camera in the finder but I can't see it.
You see I'd like to use my SD card in a digital photo frame but I can't seem to get the photo's I want, contained in iPhoto, back onto the card.
Can this be done or am I being really stupid?!
Any help would be very much appreciated. Cheers.

Neil:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That camera do you have? Does it mount on the desktop as removable media? I found with the Canon cameras I have, they don't mount, I needed to use a card reader and make sure I had the same image name type that the camera used, i.e. IMG_xxxx, and put it in a correctly named folder. This was just so I could view it on the camera. Don't know if it would work in a photo frame on TV. Haven't tried it yet.

Does anyone own a PhotoVu digital photo frame?

Sorry if this is not the appropriate discussion group for this topic, but I would really like to get in contact with someone who owns and uses a PhotoVu digital photo frame.
I'd like to know how Mac friendly it is, as well as some how-to's in regard to its operation.
My email is ***** <edited by host>
Thank you

Thank you for you reply Larry.
Sorry, didn't know about the email rule.
I have been emailing with a PhotoVu rep, but he generally directs me to
faqs on the product website.
I was hoping to contact someone who actually has and uses the PhotoVu frame, and their experience with it.
For the same price I could plant an LCD monitor on the wall connected to a
Mac mini - but instead of a mac mini would the lcd monitor(as a photo frame) idea work for showing iPhoto09 slideshow and iMovie clips that were saved to a multimedia hard drive ( instead of the mac mini)? Does the multimedia hard drive ( like LaCie's or LG's have to have some mac compatible software on it to access my files from the hard drive menu?

Rotate photo frames on a page

hi all
im not sure if this is possible, but my problem is, when i have a landscape photoframe on a page (any template, iphoto 08) and i drop a photo that has been taken in portrait, the frame automatically adjusts.
this is cool for most cases, but sometimes i'd like to keep the photo frame landscape and just have the photo 'cropped' in the frame.
is there any way to 'lock' photo frames to not adjust to the orientation of the photo?
thanks!
Sammy

Sammy:
I've not hear of any way to lock a frame so the photo gets cropped from landscape to portrait. You'll have to do the cropping in iPhoto to make it a portrait oriented image.

Randomize piccies for digital photo frame

i have about 300 jpegs that I have stuck on a flash card for my digital phone frame.
any idea how I can randomize the pictures as this isn't a function of the photo frame itself.
Is there a way to randomize the picture date in iphoto? I assume this is how the pictures are ordered......
or possibly the file name?

Steve

Steve:
I've run into that and there's no easy way to achieve that. One might try editing each file and and just add a couple of random characters in each. That would change the order from the structured, similar named order.

Digital Photo Frame df1010v2 - how to download photos in the order they appear on USB?

Photos installed nicely into my df1010v2 digital photo frame, but not in the order I wanted them. I had painstakingly named all of them by date, and they appeared chronologically on the USB drive I copied them from, but they downloaded in random bunches. Does anyone know why this happened and whether there is a fix? Pictures are for my 90-year-old mother, and the weird order will confuse her. I do not have frame set to view in random sequence, but that's how they will appear to her P.S. Many of the photos are scans of old photos, so setting them to appear by date taken will not work here. Thank you for any help!

Hi,
If you are happy with PSE 6, why not continue to use it?
PSE 13 can display the images in date/time order like PSE 6 does. The time doesn't appear when you hover over a thumbnail but can be displayed below the thumbnail. The best thing is for you to download the trial version (select version 13 from the following link) and try it for 30 days to see if you like it.
Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
If you use the trial, to see the date and time under each thumbnail you need to go to the View menu in the organizer and ensure that Details is checked.

Having trouble connecting Ipod to a digital photo frame

According to the photo frame manual, I follow the directions on page 7 to listen to my music - I did that. It tells me the file format has to be wma or mp3. I assume they are.
I've plugged ipod Nano into its USB cable and the USB cable into the frame in the correct location. Once the cable is connected, it lets me choose the option to hear my music, but none of the music on my ipod is showing up on the screeen. Frame says "no music in current deviced" (it thinks the ipod is blank, but I know it isn't).
When it's plugged into the frame it says on the ipod screen that it's "connected - eject before disconnecting" like it does when it's hooked to the laptop. It won't let me select music on the actul ipod when it's plugged into the frame.
I've emailed technical support at SmartParts for the Sync Pix photo frame, but I don't know how much help they will be.
I'm truly stumped, and I'm sure my random explanations are probably not helping. ;(
Thank You!

Good day Chakari. The photo frame supports images compatible with the Design rule for Camera File system (DCF)format. If the original images are not compatible with the DCF format, convert them to the DCF format before or after copying. The following are the DCF standards.
Image file names must be named DSCxxxxx.JPG , where the x represents a numerical digit.
Image files must be stored on the media in the DCF file structure
Its important to know, the DCF file structure requires a folder named DCIM on the media. Inside the DCIM folder should be a folder named 100MSDCF or 101MSDCF . The image files must be stored in one of these two folders.

Photo frames

Does anyone know of a photo frame compatible with TIFF? There are hundreds out there but the only one I have found which takes TIFF is the new Toshiba DMF102XKU. (mark that down in case ever needed). It's 10" and would have to do for home use (many frames go to 12, 15, and even 19) but is too small for an exhibition space (business use). [I know I can convert all to JPEG, or somehow batch process, but don't want the bother.]
Also, as alternative, could use a tv/dvd combo but would need to put photos into a slide show DVD using software like ProShow Gold. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks for help.

There are some techniques people are using in print templates to get frame effects. Try searching for "lightroom print templates frames" in your fave web browser.

Photo Frame Question

I know that this is not an Apple Question but I haven't found a forum for this and I was curios if anyone else had run into this issue:
I have a Sylvania 10" Digital photo frame (I do not recommend this frame to anyone. Support on it is lousy to non-existant and I am still waiting for a replacement remote control for it which I ordered in March. I am using my harmony remote to control it right now.) which displays photos pretty well. It's resolution is 1024 x 600. The issue that I am seeing that I wonder if anyone else has seen on their digital photo frame, is that when I transfer photos from the mac to the photo frame and then view them with the quick view progam, the images are corrupted. Even Disk Verify shows that the jpg images are corrupted yet the photo frame has no problem displaying them. They look normal with no corruption at all. The files on my hard drive are fine with no corruption at all. Since I won't be using the frame as a backup for my photos anyway, its not an end of the world issue but I am curious if this happens with other digital photo frames. Interestingly enough, the disk utility sees the frame as having an unknown or unspecified partition with an MS-DOS Fat 32 format on it.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hello tweetybird53,
Thanks very much for purchasing the HP Digital Photo Frame. I regret that you are having some product and support challenges. Please email me with your HP case number or your product number, serial number and contact information so that we can get your issue resolved quickly.
The answer to the question, "Is there an HP service depot near where you live that you can take it there?" is no. Currently, customers can not drop off products at an HP service center. There is a process to follow that entails mailing in the product if it is coded for repair. In some cases, the defective product is simply replaced.
I look forward to assisting tweetybird53.
Regards,

I've created a photo book in iPhoto on my iPad. When I go to order it, it says that "Your Book contains Empty Photo Frames" but when I check each page, they all have photos. How to I order the book?

I've created a photo book in iphoto on my ipad. When I try to order it (by clicking the price of the book in the top right corner) it says that Your book contains empty photo frames - add photos to the empty frames, or change the page layout to include fewer photos" but when I look at each page, there are photos in all the frames. What do I need to do to order this book??????
Thanks so much for any help offered!

It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
And then on the right-hand side :
