How should I resize my photos to make the most of the 16:9 screen size? Does anyone know what I should resize my images to so as to make the most out of the 16:9 screen size?Thanks!!

You should resize to 480 x 234 pizels. If you resize the large original files to this size, you will be able to get a lot on a 1g card.There are many photo editing software packages that will allow you to resize a 'batch' of files to as smaller or different size. A batch processing of many photos would be much faster than doing them individually. You need to make sure it makes a copy of the original in the new size, rather than srinking the original file.I don't have any specific recomendations of which software to use, but you likely got something with your camera that may work.

When the pictures are various dimensions, does it put black or another color on the unused screen areas? My concern is that it should not stretch or change the width to height ratio.

There are picture "mode" settings under the main menu. Some of the choices (from memory) are automatic, 16:9, cinema, and 4:3. Just change it to what looks best for each input or select automatic.

I can't find any setting in the phone to change the position of the photos so I save them to the memory card I put in the phone then download to my computer to do so. If there is such a setting in the phone that I missed please let me know.

You will only get the advertised resolution at the native aspect ratio. Unfortunately I am not sure what ratio is native to the 40D, but it may also have had a reduced resolution for the 16:9 aspect.The difference in 12 to 10 megapixels should not have a big effect on your prints, you can also crop from the 4:3 images to get what you would like - with of course the the same loss of pixels, but you may feel more in control of what you lose this way.

We bought this for my mother three weeks ago... Last week her cousin passed away, and being able to add facebook photos from his profile and from his kids/wife, has made my mom super, super happy. (I did all this for her remotely - she doesn't use facebook or the iMac I set up for her). What I did was setup the frame at my house, update the firmware etc - then brought it to her home and it's been working great since. My siblings and I all email photos to her - works great. If you're using iPhoto - use the "large" setting size on export or on emailing the photos. Small and Medium are less than 800x600 pixel so they don't look so good. Original size is too big. Large is just right... We bought this for my mother three weeks ago...

my old canon 6 mega pixel can do a nice 24 x 36.....which by most consensus it shouldn't!a 14 mega pixel can do 11 x 14. I'v no problem doing 16 x 20 with my nikon p500 which should be a 12 mega pixel...it's in another room and I'm feeling lazy. hope that helps you

have a great zoom! and crop I didnt search for it, I'd like the picture as raw as possible, then i'll modify at the Destop PC. Also have a great focus and great night pictures, if u wanna some example what I want to explain check this picture! https://plus.google.com/photos/112840903503404504761/albums/5958573131404525569

On the one I have....Both. 16:9 is it's native, but the 4:3 is available and looks good. Mine also has a 16:10 option which is what I have mine set on now. Great picture.

I just bought a digital frame and have the same question. Supposedly it's 480x220 but just like you - that leaves space top and bottom. I tried various other dimensions but have yet to fill the frame. 450x240 is close but not quite there and the frame is probably doing some unwanted manipulation to the picture. Have you gotten any clues from elsewhere?

Probably not worth it though, as you'd just be discarding pixels - it's got a standard 4:3 ratio, so rather just leave it in native mode. If you truly need 16:9 you'd have to drop significant lines of resolution top and bottom.

Hi for some reason I can not upload my image. But yes it does fully decline. Sorry, maybe one of the other users can help with an image. I will keep trying to upload. Thx, Dave

Hello, Asking this question could get you into trouble since file size is not a determination of your image quality. See below for the reasons but my recommendation would be a minimum 2 Megapixel image (The higher the resolution the better and more important) with a file size compressed from the original as little as you can 2Mpixel probably 1MB or larger. Open the image on your computer zoom it up and view it onscreen at about the 16*20 that the canvas will be. If you are happy with that, send the image. Lastly make sure your pixel ratio is 16X20 so you get what you expect when it is printed and the part you wanted is not cropped off. The smallest and largest files I have sent are a 1500 X 1949 pixel image (compressed to 570Kb) and a 3287 X 2188 pixel image (compressed to 4.03MB) Both look great however I can tell a difference. The 570kb file had too much compression on the jpeg. In raw terms, file size should equal (width in pixels) x (height in pixels) x 3 bytes per pixel. Lets take the case of a 3-Megapixel Image, 1900 pixels * 1600 pixels = 3.04 megapixels * 3 bytes = 9.12 megabytes uncompressed. This file is typically compressed and can be over 10:1 compression resulting in 900 kbytes and a picture which looses color chroma and has artifacts. So I should just use more than 9 megabytes right? Not really because a 90 megabyte image compressed to 9 megabytes will have the same chroma and artifact issue which you will not like hanging on the wall. Hope it helps. If you have read this far, my experience was with canvas champ which was awesome.

Its not the format but the pixels. size should be 1366x780. You can also set the display to Stretch to Fit but pneumonia smaller pictures it will blur the picture. Larger pictures look n fit best unless you have a picture editing software (Photoshop) that can expand it without losing too much

Can you load the photos into two separate files/folders and just load one to each PIcture Keeper? If you don't know how to do this call or email support, they will tell you how easily. I found it easier to get answers from them by email.

Ditto to J. Kim, photos always look good on the tiny (well compared with an LCD monitor of course) screen, you can at least ZOOM in on the photos to check out the noise factor, check it against what ISO the shot was taken in. Under the law of physics, there is really no way a 1/1.7" sensor can produce images that are on par or better than an APS-C sensor. Although they may look close. Thanks Grandpa Bill, for your comment. With that said, I almost laughed out loud when someone told me he could take a picture from the 8-megapixel iPhone just as good as a DSLR ! !!! LOL! I am still laughing ! ; ) Ditto to J.
