digital photo frames
4 Answers
i'm looking to buy a digital photo frame, in particular an "imagin 15 inch"
but how do you actually get the photos onto the frame? it says you can put your memory card from your camera into the framed and display them but i want to display pictures that i have stored on my computer, is this possible?
i have seen some frames that have an internal memory and it says you can plug your comp into the frame and download the pics but the frame i want does not have an internal memory.

(2 part post):
It's not clear how you transfer pictures from your digital camera to your PC. Some people connect their camera to the PC via a lead (which is slow and cumbersome). Others use a card reader (which is simpler and quicker). The advantage of a card reader is that it enables you to treat a memory card as another drive. If you've not already got a card reader, buy one. It will make it easier to transfer pictures from a memory card to your PC and, more importantly, it makes it easy to transfer pictures in the opposite direction:

You'll also need a spare memory card:

Plug the card reader into a USB port. Insert the memory card into the card reader. Go to 'My Computer'. Double-click. Then double-click on whatever drive letter is assigned to the relevant slot of your card reader. (It's drive G on my PC). A window will open, displaying the (non-existent) contents of the memory card. If the window takes up all, or most, of the screen, resize it so that it's smaller.

A window will open, displaying the (non-existent) contents of the memory card. If the window takes up all, or most, of the screen, resize it so that it's smaller.
Now double-click 'My computer' again (or 'My Documents' or 'My Pictures') and navigate to the folder which contains the pictures you want to add to the card (e.g. 'My Pictures'). Once again, if the window takes up most of the screen, resize it so that you've now got two windows open side by side.
Click on the first picture you require, to highlight it. Then hold down the Ctrl key while clicking on the rest of the pictures you require. When you've selected all of your pictures, click of any highlighted picture but keep the mouse button held down. While doing so, drag the collection across to the empty window that shows the contents of your media card.
Job done. Remove the media card from the card reader and insert it into the digital photo frame. Sit back and enjoy your pictures.
