i went out shooting with jin and robert. jin is learning to shoot large format so i joined her on a walk/shoot in chinatown. it had been a while since i’ve shot sheet film, so it was fun to return to a larger format. i need to get back into it, the frame of mind is so different when shooting this format (even from 8×10). after shooting a ton of 35mm lately, this seemed a little awkward.

while the three of us were finishing up, a gentleman from the sing tao daily stopped to ask us some questions about what we were doing and why we used film (instead of digital cameras).

Digital Photo Frame Mysteries, Picture Size and Picture Format Explained

Digital Photo Frame Mysteries, Picture Size and Picture Format Explained

Innovation is not necessarily the time saver and the great simplifier people try to make it out to be.

Take for example the picture frame and the gradual conversion to the digital frame, and the added complications it has added to our lives.

Like digital cameras, the digital frame has cut down the cost of photography (remember how much money you used to drop on the cost of buying and processing films every month). However, the digital picture frame hasn’t helped people whose basic grasp of photography is limited to not much more than ‘the big button is the one that makes the picture’.

And let’s face it, that group includes you, me and much of the human race. This doesn’t make life easy for anyone selling wholesale digital photo frames.

The size doesn’t seem to be a factor in how confused we can get when it comes to digital screens and getting the images that are right for them. Someone with a 7 digital photo frame can be just as confused as someone with a 8 inch digital photo frame and heaven help the poor person with the 10 digital frame.

And as gadgets gradually converge into one and people can do more and more with one thing things are going to get more complex too with people having to grapple with photo frames that are also a digital TV receiver, might work as a digital video frame or could even play music.

So before we get into the wiz-bang wizardry that has turned cell phones and media players into incomprehensible devices let’s have a look at a couple of questions:

Do you need to re-size the pictures?
What formats do pictures need to be in?
What should I do to photos look good on digital picture frames?
How can I transfer old pictures to digital frames?

Do you need to re-size the pictures?
This question can be especially tricky for people trying to source wholesale digital photo frames. The answer to this question very much depends on what type of digital photo frame you’ve got. Home digital frames and larger-sized electronic picture frames won’t be a problem, regardless of whether they’re 7 digital photo frame or 10 digital picture frame. However, keychain digital picture frames tend to be a little more difficult and you may need to resize these.

What formats do pictures need to be in?
Depending on what digital picture frame you buy and the digital picture frame you have the format could be quite different.

Regardless of whether it’s a 7 inch digital frame, or any kind of digital frame most of the common picture formats should work on it. These are usually JPEG, as well as the occasional digital picture frame that plays Tiff and BMP as well.

While JPEG is the most common digital photo format a digital photo frame will show there’s no need to get concerned as this is the digital format used by most digital cameras and image devices.

If you’re trying to get wholesale digital photo frames then you might want to make sure it at least displays the JPEG format, as it is the one that most people are most likely to be operating in.

However, where some people run into trouble is when they use their cell phone or their MP4 to take a photo in an unusual format and then put it onto their LCD digital frame.

Thankfully there are several sources of open source converters that are free to download and will get most formats working. These include sites like CNet and Sourceforge. So it’s even possible to get a digital photo from your unlocked cell phone onto your LCD digital frame.

What should I do to photos look good on digital picture frames?
Again this question depends very much on the digital photo frame that you’re using on how to make your digital photo look good. And it’s always good to take a closer look at the digital photo frames digital or paper instructions and manufacturer tips.

However, as a general rule the best way to get the best effects out of your digital picture frame is to make sure the picture is close to the same size, if not bigger than the frame you are trying to put it on and to make sure you have a decent resolution on the photographs.

So what does all of that mean when it’s at home, why does it help if the picture is bigger and picture resolution… whaah?

I think, even people trying to find wholesale digital photo frames would be going huh…

It wouldn’t come as a surprise to many people that you get a better result of making something bigger smaller than you do of making something smaller bigger… with the possible exceptions of bureaucracy and the most common form of plastic surgery of course.

So as a result if you try to take a picture from a keychain digital photo frame, one that might be sized 128 pixels by 128 pixels, and throw it on a 7 digital picture frame then there’s a good chance that that on the 7 digital photo frame that digital photo might look, at best like a Georges Seurat work. Or, at worse, a ‘find the hidden picture’ image or color blindness test.

Same goes for pictures being shifted from a 7 digital picture frame to a 10 or 15 inch digital picture frame, but with less severe results.

The second important consideration to factor in when trying to get the best results for your images on a LCD frame is the frames digital resolution compared to that of the image you’re getting the picture off.

If the image is from a website, it’s a cell phone creation or some digital creation that looked fantastic on the computer screen then get ready for a shock when you throw it on some high res digital frames. While a large number of digital photo picture frames still work on the 72 pixels per inch resolution more and more work are working on the 300 pixels per inch resolution.

What is more when it comes time to print them out to give to Cleatus your computer illiterate cousin “It’s not gonna look all cloudy and muddy like”. This is likely to apply more to larger frames than digital frames that are smaller. A 7 inch digital frame shouldn’t give you too many problems for example.

But it still is a worthy question for people sourcing wholesale digital photo frames as it will help you give your customers a better experience and stop customer complaints and questions before they happen.

How can I transfer old pictures to digital frames?
This question is turning up more and more online as people start to realize the benefit of having a LCD frame that can show off 50 or so photos at once as opposed to a wooden photo frame that will only show one, and which may cost a considerable amount to fill.

Thankfully it’s fairly easy to get older photos from their non digital frames into digital formats that can be loaded onto your computer or onto a 7 digital photo frame.

The first thing to be done is to convert your picture from the physical to digital. This is done with a scanner.

These are fairly common and quite cheap. If you’ve got a computer then it can be a useful tool but even if you’ve decided to go without then photo shops and computer shops will have one that they’ll let you use for a nominal fee (usually just a couple of bucks or a handful of corn or, in some circumstances, a fluttering of the eye and a raising of the lips).

Once the pictures are digitalized they can be put onto a TF card or USB and transmitted to the digital photo picture frames directly or put onto a CD and transferred from the computer via a USB cable.

The normal rules apply when it comes time to save these images, make sure they’re the right dimensions, file type (JPEG nine times out of 10 but check you photo frame) and resolution.

So, it appears that putting images onto digital frames isn’t as hard as you’d normally expect and even shifting a physical picture from a photo frame to LCD digital frame isn’t as hard as you’d think it would be.

Polaroid Digital Photo Frames: Why You Must Convert From Classic Frames

It is extremely probably you happen to be a person in the vast majorities of men and women who have converted from utilizing tradition cameras to digital cameras. The idea of using frequent photographic equipment with film that truly requires you to take it to get developed into prints seems archaic. It’s tough to believe that only 10, even 5 years ago, numerous men and women nevertheless applied this sort of traditional picture-taking gear. Despite the fact that most people now take and shop images digitally, image frames still mostly display printed photographs, not the digital ones we take and shop.

Nonetheless that is rapidly changing. Digital photo frames are one of the hottest new consumer electronic solutions, which permit digital photographs to be displayed in their true form – digitally. No longer do photos need to be printed to be displayed. Instead, by transferring them to a digital photo frame via the use of a memory device (SD memory card, memory stick, or USB flash drive), they can displayed as is on a LCD screen the size of a photo frame (generally somewhere between 5 inches and 15 inches in size).

What makes this more exciting is that once you go digital with you picture frames, several far more possibilities open up. Rather than a digital frame displaying a single photo regularly, a digital photo frame can store dozens or even hundreds of images, and rotate them in slideshow type fashion on your LCD frame. Thus your photograph frame is now a dynamic digital display device that shows continuously changing pictures based on setting that you set – way far more exciting than a static tradition frame that only shows a single image (until you get the motivation to swap it out). Putting new pictures on your digital pic frame is also much simpler in the digital realm, especially if you’ve a wireless capable digital frame that may accept streaming photos from a PC and Flickr account.

Major producers of digital picture frames like Smartparts, Polaroid, and Kodak are also adding new feature that open up even much more possibilities. Digital picture frames now can also show other data for instance a calendar, clock, or news and weather utilizing free services that work comparable to RSS feeds. So not only will your digital photo frame display crisp, clear photographs, but be an additional data portal in your house or office besides your laptop and television. A lot of digital frames actually combine a collage of data (calendar, clock, photos) according to your setting on the screen at a person time.

Besides the digital nature of digital photo frames, you are able to probable come across a frame that suits all your other needs in terms of style and décor. There are so a lot of manufacturers now that you’ll find plenty of digital frame sizes, wood finishes, colors, and styles. Certainly that is a growing category of products, and selection will enhance and prices will drop, but shop around and you will possibly come across one that matches the room you might be trying to accessorize, or wall you are looking to hang it on. Speaking of which, digital photo frames are also acquiring bigger and bigger in size. It is not unusual to come across digital frames up to 15 inches, and recently Smartparts released a stunning 32-inch digital picture frame that is less frame and a lot more portrait.

So should you haven’t started the process of converting your conventional frames to digital photo frames, you most likely will soon. Unless you are one of the ones still using a normal film camera!
