I bought the DPF-D70 for my mother. I'm stunned that it has problems displaying photos that have been edited on one's computer. This quote is from the instruction manual "...file may not be supported by the photo frame because, for example, it is a JPEG file that was created with your computer." This statement apparently applies to any file that was in any way altered. It was my intent to load the frame with pictures past & present. Almost all the old photos I had that had been scanned will not display. This has nothing to do with file size. I am very disappointed with Sony & am thinking about returning this for a refund.

Tricia,How did you save your JPEGs--what software did you use? I found the latest Photoshop CS4 SAVE FOR WEB OR DEVICE would do the trick. I'm not sure about CS3, but CS2 would not work. Someone else here mentioned deselecting the Progressive save option.

When you save a JPEG in Photoshop or ImageReady you MUST un-click "progressive" checkmark in JPEG export properties. Then all the Photoshop JPEG files should work just fine. Sony DPF-D70 doesn't like progressive JPEGs. Hope this helps.

The problem is not entirely Sony's. Just because the file may have a jpeg extent, chances are that the editing software has adapted (and saved) the edited file to suit it's own purpose. This is particularly true when changing colors, contrast, brightness, etc. Adobe is famous for this--even some types of PDF are sufficiently different as to preclude use by other viewers. I have the D70, and so far, have no problems with images changed with the older Macromedia software. Of course, now Adobe has bought Macromedia, this may change...

As others said, this will not display progressive jpegs. Easiest way to convert all your pics to disply on this frame is to:1. Download irfanview(search on web), this is a free image viewer.2. Open irfanview, go to File --> Batch Conversion/Rename3. Select "Output Format" to JPG. Select "Options" and make sure that "Save as Progressive JPG" is unselected.4. Add all the files you want to batch convert and start batch converting.

Progressive JPEGS will not work on this frame. Make sure to uncheck that box when saving your edited photo.

Returning the Sony would be a good idea. I bought the Samsung and have had no problems with pictures I altered with photo Element. Good luck.

Note: any 'Save for web' setting in Photoshop will not guarantee that the jpg has been saved without 'progressive' setting checked - the idea behind 'progressive' is that as it loads a low-quality image can be seen that 'progressively' gets better as the rest of the file loads.Too bad Sony doesn't simply update the manual to reflect this, or change the firmware so that 'progressive' jpgs load like the others.

My son connected to my desk top computer and "downloaded" most all of the photos that I had of the family for my mom to take to nursing home. The frame has now been unplugged, dropped, replugged, done the sideways thing and upright and still has all the original pictures and is working most all of the time. Hope this helps you.

I have the 10.4 frame the picture area appears as a normal frame not panoramic as I am seeing available in stores. If you have the same as I do you can crop your photos prior to putting on a SD card. To avoid cutting off the top I cropped from the bottom and it worked for me. Hope this helps.

I was having many issues with Printshop on Windows 8.1 after the update. I could not get it running after many e-mails back and forth with Printshop support. I gave up after awhile. I recently tried installing Printshop 3.5 Deluxe after more recent updates to both the Printshop program and Windows 8.1 and now it works fine. Of course, both of them will probably say it was the other program causing the issues.

The frame will shuffle the pictures randomly if you want and you can choose the amount of time in between picture changes. I find the pictures are quite clear and the frame is large enough that you can see the pictures from across a room (within reason on the size of the room). If you have photos where you did a lot of cropping down the size or that already had poor resolution, those won;t look good on the frame, but you can easilt delete them if you find one. Otherwise all of our pictures looked great! I think there were increments of 5 or 10, so the picture changes every 5 seconds or ten seconds, or 20 seconds etc, whichever you choose. I hope this helps!

Serious photographers shoot RAW, but most people just use JPEG because it is much easier, no post processing. I am glad to hear of the bright mode (in automatic I always shoot JPEG, in manual modes I always shoot RAW or lossless compressed pics).Overall the comments in this thread ease my fears of dpreview's complaint about JPEG quality. This is definitely my next camera.

http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/ It says that it is two editions thus implying two different versions. Sorry that nobody replied to this. Kind of rude isn't it?

Hello Mike, This is Clive from EZbackgrounds. I had not worked with PhotoSuite in a while, so I took some time to download the new version and test it out to see if it was more compatible than previous versions. Much like Corel PaintShop Pro, PhotoSuite does open psd files, but it does not support various elements of the PSD format such blending modes, effects, text and other elements of the PSD format. Therefore, I cannot recommend it for use with this package that includes frames, actions and other items intended specifically for use in any version of Photoshop. However, PhotoSuite will work with the backgrounds as they are in jpg-compatible tiff format which is fully supported by PhotoSuite. We have a backgrounds-only package available on Amazon that will work perfectly with PhotoSuite. It is the "Premier 100 Digital Backgrounds Package". Enter "digital backgrounds in the Amazon search engine and it should appear as the second item listed behind this package. Although my research was limited to an hour or so, I did find PhotoSuite to be a little buggy. It crashed on me three times while using it. I should note that it could be something particular to my computer configuration that is causing the bugginess and not necessarily something that everyone will experience. For the reasons stated above, I would still recommend Photoshop Elements for use as an alternative to the professional CS and CC versions of Photoshop over any other program I've seen thus far. I hope that helps. If not, or if you have any other questions, feel free to contact us anytime. Best Regards, Clive at EZbackgrounds

We inserted pictures without any sticking but have not changed any. We don't think it will be a problem. These albums are really nice and we think they were a value. Hope this helped.

Works for me [though W8 is a little strange from XP], I do a lot of foto editing almost daily. There are many tools that I haven't used [or used much] so glitches may still occur. I would say, if you have your computing power up, go with it.

I'm not sure what the question is here? I think I know what your issue is, the photo frame doesn't transfer photos, it isn't designed to do that. If you're using a SD card for your photo frame, I'd recommend removing the SD from the photo frame, put the SD card into your computer (if it has a SD slot, if not there are super cheap USB SD card readers for about $3 on amazon), moving all the pictures from your computer onto the SD card. Then put the SD card back into the photo frame. I hope this helps, best of luck!

It's been a while but maybe I used the camera's format function. I am using it regularly, so it does work! Did I format with PC? Don't remember. If still an issue I'd try SCT support but should be easier than that.

Hello Jim, This is Cliff from EZbackgrounds. I do not currently know the answer to that question, but I have queried Photomate for specifics on compatibility. I will pass on that information as soon as I know the answer. I do know that even if we find that the program is compatible, it will only be with the backgrounds and not the frames. Any version of Photoshop is required to work with those. We also have a version for Corel PaintShop Pro as well. It sounds like you are probably more interested in backgrounds than the frames. If so, you should try our EZbackgrounds Premier 100 Digital Backgrounds Package available here on Amazon. Thank you for your inquiry. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us anytime. I'll be following up soon. Best Regards, Clive EZbackgrounds

I have never tried Photos but I have noticed that if I tried to edit a AVI/MP4 or MP3 file I cannot. I have to take the file from My Cloud and transfer it or copy it to my PC's Hard Drive and then I can edit it.

Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit. I have found that even though the software initially permits "frame to frame" editing, it actually edits in segments on the PC. When transferring to "YouTube" I have lost the last segment, yet, I'm a novice at this. It is possible to edit on the camera directly which I have not yet tried. The camera is new to me and I wasn't yet confident enough that I may loose my videos while editing on the camera. The camera is amazing for far distance shooting, the main reason for my purchase. Hope this has been of help. cj Thomas, I love the camera!!! It's extremely easy to transfer the videos to your PC to edit.

Update. This camera does pano a lil different than what I was used to. I was used to snap and then move, snap and then move, snap and then move and then stitch it together. This camera you press and release shutter. Then pan camera. It does the rest automatically. If it shows 'cannot' just redo. If it shows you a very quick preview, the pano worked and you have a pic. What I don't like, sometimes parts of the pic is blank, guess it couldn't quite do the rest. It could also be the exposure latitude is too much. Exposure is right on if it does work. On my old camera where you stitch, the exposure might change and you have different color sky for each block of pic. Also when I picked 360, the pic showed around 280 and the rest was blackened out.
