Widescreen display on photo frame

How can you format or resize the photos as wide screen format so they will display in wide screen mode on Sony photo frame players?
Thanks

A photo is the shape it is. You will need to either make a crop so that only the part of the image you want shows, or create extra canvas so that the photo is letterboxed on the frame. You can't make a normal aspect image into a widescreen image without distortion unless you do one of those things.

  • How to display a photo slideshow in Widescreen 16x9 format?

    I just bought a 5g iPod and the A/V connection kit. I can play a photo slideshow on my 16x9 TV, but it stretches the photos to fit the screen, so they are out of proper aspect ratio. Is there a way to tell my iPod that it should be displaying the photos on a 16x9 screen?
    I understand that there is a widescreen option in the Video playback menu, but this does not seem to have any effect on the output of photo slideshows.

    Jon,
    See if this works. It may or may not.
    Go to videos-->video settings-->Widescreen-->On
    See if now when you play the photo slideshow it works right.
    Now, if it doesn't then I don't think there is much you can do.
    Tell Apple about the issue (if the steps above don't solve it)

  • 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.<br><br>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<br><br>P.S. Many of the photos are scans of old photos, so setting them to appear by date taken will not work here.<br><br>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.

  • 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,

  • Center images within a photo frame

    I saw a friend's site where it used a pre-bought package. It
    had nice photo frames and a sutle drop shadow.
    The site I'm working on has a lot of photos and I would like
    to set them off this way.
    What I did was make the frame with a drop. Drop shadow isn't
    looking good even though I did a .png Anyway, I made the frame the
    background image-ok. Now I want to center the photo within the
    frame. The photo info is in the page as the owner wants to change
    it. Its a <img> tag. I tried doing a align center in the
    <img> but that didn't do it.
    Somehow that program did it. I believe it was done with CSS.
    Anyone know?

    Thats a complex piece of positioning using css. I'm pretty
    sure youre
    not going down that route as it would be beyond your
    capabilities given
    what you have said to date.
    So I would forget that and show us the code you are using to
    create YOUR
    version of this. This effect can be achieved with a lot less
    complexity
    than the example you provide above.
    Below is an example. You'd need to know something about css
    to
    understand it. Basically you would create a <div>
    container and use a
    background image for the drop shadow, then insert the main
    image within
    the container, style and position it with css.
    At the moment in the example below the image appears to be
    off-centre
    but when the drop shadow background image is added it will be
    centered
    in the <div>

  • Wi-fi photo frame?

    Does anyone know of a Wi-Fi photo frame that can sync with iPhoto? I would love to hang one up on the wall that would automaticly look at my iPhoto and displays the pictures!!

    Hi Ted2,
    The Power Adapter for this Digital Photo frame converts 100-240V AC power to 12V DC power, which is what is needed for this Photo frame. This should mean this would work fine on 220V AC power.
    I hope this helps!

  • Looking for photo frame with lots of features

    Look for ipad photo frame app. One that will let me display pics from various sources, like facebook, my servers in the home, flickr.
    Thanks

    I tried many apps, but I narrowed it down to... Iphonso.com Air Frame.
    It lets you view your facebook photos or friends', flickr via a bunch of categories, or enter tags. It includes your local photos.
    It does not have the ability yet to to include your network shares, but I am hoping they include this in the next version.
    So now looking at pics that are being streamed in from remote site, and at the same time listening to music that is also streamed in (via Home Sharing). Bliss.
    Thanks for all your help

  • When Photo Frame is running, iPad battery discharges

    ... And that surely ain't right, right?
    I have a new iPad (3rd gen, 64gb model) and I sync *ALL* my photos to it. But if I place it on the dock and put the Photo Frame on, it starts to lose battery. I can see it go from 100%, down and down and down by a percentage point every 5 minutes or so. If left, it would eventually discharge completely.
    I am running this iPad on an official Apple 10w charger, not something underpowered. So, the question is:
    (Or questions are)
    Is this a fault (I suspect yes)
    Is there something I can do to remedy this?
    Any thoughts appreciated. Otherwise it might be a trip to the Apple store to see a genius (and possibly get an exchange?)

    So, no further responses to this, but I have heard anecdotally that this has happened to other people.
    But thinking of the logic here:
    - A function of the device is to behave like a digital photo frame.
    - A photo frame typically is left on continuously so that pictures get seen at all times
    - For pictures to be on at all times, it must be charging
    BUT
    - The retina screen needs too much power to be lit *AND* display photos, thus making a mockery of previous 3 points.
    It just doesn't make sense to me. If you *know* that the device is not capable of delivering a piece of functionality like this, you disable it, or you warn against its use or you re-engineer it until it works. None of which happened.

  • Using photo frame

    Got this digital photo frame; plugged it into my PB and OS X said "Disk Insertion: the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer. Initialize... Ignore Eject". None of those options seems right; what to do?
    I did try Initialize... and it brought up Disk Doctor and the device appeared there, but it did not appear on the desktop.
    What to do?

    Below is a step by step guide with pictures so keep scrolling.  You'll have to figure out how to apply these steps with other software.
    The easiet solution is offered by Ann Bens.  Here is a screen shot of how I used the AME.  Make sure you UNCHECK export sequence and format to jpg or tiff.
    Its quicker to use the export frame button on the monitor but if your going to use the end product as a still then you have to spend the same or more time fixing it; the AME is the best solution.  Here is how to fix a jpg using photoshop.
    STEP 1 - you'll see this window upon opening the file exported from PPro in PS.
    STEP 2 - You'll see a widescreen picture but ...
    once you uncheck "pixel aspect ratio correction" you see it looks squished
    STEP 3 you'll want to resize it in the following sequence
    Change the pixels from 72 to 300
    B. Change the width to either 10 or 5
    C. UNCHECK "constrain proportions" and change the dimension to 1920 Wide and 1080 Height
    Now save the file and its ready to use in most other software and for use with online services like Costco's photo books and printers.
    CHEERS!

    MacBook Air looks like a "vintage" laptop with that horrible screen frame.

  • Swf within digital photo frame

    hi there, i hope anyone can help me with the following
    question.
    i am creating digitial pictures with actionscript to display
    them as swf. i am looking for a digital photo frame that is able to
    display .swf files but cannot find any, only frames that can
    display .avi, mpeg etc (and exporting as .avi does not help as it
    will only show a blank movie because of the actionscript).
    does anyone know about any product that can per default
    display swf? any hint would be highly appreciated!!
    thanks,
    steffen

    Did you find a Digital Photo Frame that will play swf's yet?
    I am looking for one, too.
    I would also like to see it support video in an swf.

  • Gigaframe Q80 digital photo frame won't play video

    The bundled ArcSoft Media Converter 2.5 refuses to convert any of the video formats it should be able to(e.g. mpeg 1,2 and 4) so that the photo frame can play them. It just displays the errors"video encoder lost" or "The codec required for video conversion to your player is not available on your PC" All the video clips play normally on my PC. Can anyone help?

    Google Kazaa codec pack. Theres a bundle of codecs that should in theory fix that. While yes it may say that it can handle mpeg 1 2 and 4, theres about 5 different codecs for each one. You may have the ones that will allow your pc to play them, but it doesnt mean the converter specifically supports them.
    In all honesty movie conversion software is no end of hassles anyway. I have things like that with my ipod touch. Ill sometimes need to convert one movie into 4 different formats in 4 different converters before my ipod will even recognise them.
    Im no expert, but this should help, im sure someone will point it out if im wrong.

  • Photos not updated when in photo frame mode

    I have two iPads and I have enabled photo frame to display photos only from photostream using the same account.  The reason I did this is to give one iPad to my elderly parents so they can see my family photos in photo frame mode, just like the regular digital photo frame except photos are dynamiclly updated.
    I was expecting the photo frame to pick up newly taken photos.  However, the photo frame still display the same photos in the loop unless I unlock the ipad and start photo frame again (by pressing power button twice and then the photo frame button.)  Does anyone have a solution for it?

    Good that you solved your problem. There will probably be other users that need to solve the same problem and your solution might help many others. The support here comes from users helping other users.

  • Square digital photo frame

    Dear Sony! I really enjoy your product Sony DPF D70. It has perfect design and looks amazing, but I have to choose what pictures is most important for me: gorizontal vs vertical. I have an idea to overcome this contradiction — please, make square digital photo frame, so all photos could look great. With best wishes.Irina V.

    Are you judging the quality of the photo on an external monitor? The computer monitor is not where you should be judging:
    1. Disable overlays on the canvas
    2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=24787
    DV footage requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.
    Now it needn't be DV only...Even uncompressed 8-bit on a computer monitor is reduced in quality.

  • WinXP: Resize pic for digital photo frame with PS Elements

    PS Elements 5
    Preloading a small memory card for a photo frame to be given for holiday gift. Not familiar with these frames.
    This Digital Photo Frame is a 16x9 aspect, 800x480 pixels.
    In PS Elements, I crop each pic to 16" x 9"
    Then resize photo to 800 pixel width, constraining proportions it sets the height at 450 pixels, resolution 72 pixels/in. Seems I am wasting the frame real estate.
    Change the crop tool for 15" x 9"
    Then resize photo to 800 pixel width, constraining proportions it sets the height at 480 pixels, resolution 72 pixels/in.
    Each photo comes to ~ 400k.
    Questions:
    Which above crop/resize/resolution is best? or alternate?
    Will the frame make use of the 400k pics, or should I reduce quality to something less?
