Digital Photo Frames

The biggest question that a person has when hey get a digital photo frame is how do i get the photos on the frame. There are a few ways. You can get a Card reader that fits into your computers USB port and allows you to put the memory card in the other end. Then you can access it like a drive from "My Computer" on a PC or on your desktop if you have a mac. You can then transfer the picture files over to the memory card. Remember to compress or reduce the size with your favorite photo program and save 10 to 100 times the space allowingoyu to put way more photos on a smaller memory card.

The way I do it is to use my camera as a conduit to allow my computer and memory card to talk. The first thing is to make sure the power on the camera is on. Most computer's wont be able to see your camera if it isn't. It should show up as a new drive on your mac or pc. On a mac you should see it on the desktop - usually displaying the brand or name of the memory card. Once this happens get into your photo program (I use iPhoto) and export the photos out to your "camera drive" at medium quality and medium size ( my photo frame's resolution is 800x600 and its about 9"). These settings allow me to store over 7,000 photos and 5 cd's worth of music on a 1 GB SD memory card.

So to sum things up you have to have some way for computer to read the memory card. If your computer doesn't have a built in device to do so, then you may need to use your camera or buy a card reader.
