Page 8

Optimizing photo storage capacity

When the photos are downloaded to the frame with either a memory card or

a flash drive, photos are automatically optimized for the frame’s screen resolution.

MediaImpressionTM software

When using your computer to download photos onto the frame, it is recommended to use the included MediaImpression™ software.

The MediaImpression™ software optimizes your photos for the frame’s screen resolution. (800 x 600 pixel dimensions, 72 dpi (pixels per inch)).

The MediaImpression™ software will make new files of your photos when

it saves them to the frame. Your original photos will remain intact/unchanged.

Note: If your photo’s dimensions are smaller than 800 x 600, there is no need to resize. To find out the dimensions of a photo, simply place your cursor over the thumbnail while using the MediaImpression™ software. This will show a pop-up box with your photo's dimensions.

An example of the MediaImpression™ screen is on the following page.

Installing Software on your computer

Photos placed on the frame using a computer and without using the MediaImpression™ software will not be optimized to your frame’s specifications and could possibly use more memory than necessary.
