When I plugged it into USB on my iMac and tried to move pictures to it, I ran into a problem similar to one I had when I tried to move MP3 songs onto my cell phone. I noticed that my picture frames color space was _much_ smaller than sRGBĤ) Memory cards should always be formated with a FAT file system (aka "MS DOS" filesystem) and all the images need to be in the root directory, not inside folders.ĥ) if you do put over sized image files on the SD card navigation using the buttons on the picture frame will be very slow.

Learn how to adjust the color so it looks good before you spend all the time to load in 500 pictures. The trick is to distort it in the oposite way the frame does so in the end the color is correct. Put in a few, look at them and go back and edit the colors and contract on the computer. But if you ca live with black bars and/or random crops don't botherģ) The colors on the typical cheap picture frame are horrible. Images that are sized for picture frames are at most 200K (five images per megabyte or 5,000 per GB)Ģ) To make the pictures look their best you really should crop each one to the exact aspect ratin of the frame. This is a great use for an old 64MB card you might have laying around, maybe in a bag with your old camera. Total overkill but of course it will work fine. Some observations:ġ) Even a 1GB SD card is WAY to large. I put abunch of phots in a picture frame I'll give to my parents. PS there are slots on the frame for other types of memory cards. I assume the only way to place photos on the SD card that the frame will recognized is to format it back to MS DOS.ĭoes anyone have any other ideas or tips? Can I make copies of the photos on my Powerbook in a way that will ensure they are readable on the MS DOS formatted card?

I wondered if I needed to format the card for Mac (not thinking that then the frame wouldn't be able to read it)?! So I reformatted the SD Card for Mac, and, of course, the photos weren't recognized on the frame. However, there were indications that many were not compatible, even though they were all jpg photos. Most of the photos were visible in the frame. Both the card and the internal memory of the frame were recognized in Finder, so I began to transfer photos from iPhoto to the card. Never one to read directions, I inserted the 2gig SD Card I also bought into the frame, and plugged the mini-usb cable from the frame to my Powerbook. For Christmas, I bought my mother a Westinghouse digital picture frame.
