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.

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.
