Hi all I received a Digital Photo Frame as a present from my daughter, it is a John Lewis own brand here is the link http://www.johnlewis.com/230672167/Product.aspx Its a 10inch frame, 8inch screen size 800 x 600 resolution, aspect ratio 4:3, internal memory of 1GB, has a USB port to connect directly to a PC, supports memory cards SD/MMC/MS/SDHC/XD/CF, photo format is jpg,plays back MP3 music files and MP4, Motion Jpeg video files. Quality of image is very good, better than quite a few that I looked at. I have loaded a few MP4 videos created in PTE and all played flawlessly, incidently its possible create playlists and also to play a MP3 file whilst browsing photos, a quick instant slide show with transitions, (not as polished as a PTE show) but very handy if you want to showcase your photos with a music/narrated background. I can highly recommend it. Regards Tom http://picasaweb.google.com/OlympusTom

Hi Stephane What a wonderful show one of the best seen here, visual effects very well implemented congratulations on a fantastic show long may they continue. Regards Tommy

Hi John The answer is yes it will increase the size of your original by up to 800% if you don't have these programs I am quite happy to do it for you just email or dropload the photo to me. Regards Tommy

Hi Can see your dilemma, however if you can only rely on a screen capture why not then use software such as AlienSkin Blowup or GenuineFractals PrintPro to increase image size by up to 800% without any loss of quality. I have found both of these programs work exceedingly well. Hope this helps. Regards Tommy

Hi Why not create an action in photoshop (a few minutes work) then run this on all the photos that require a border/margin this will automate the process and free up time. Also, why use such a large image 38mb!! to be viewed on a monitor at 1024 x 768 - 1920 x 1020 HDTV. Regards Tommy

Hi An excellent tool for producing precise cutouts is Fluid Mask a photoshop plugin look up at www.vertustech.com/ an expensive tool but it is the most advanced program of its type. Also try Katrin Eismann's book called Photoshop Masking & Compositing which shows just about every way an image can be cutout. Hope this helps. Regards Tommy

Using photoshop's layer stack, a quick easy method is to go to layers menu then flatten image, use shortcut keys Ctrl+shift+s to save as Pic_001 this then save as jpg image then use shortcut keys Ctrl+Alt+Z enables multiply undo hey presto we are viewing image with all layers intact. Now add new layer and repeat process. In photoshop preferences set history states to 50 Hope this helps.
