wlaidlaw Posted January 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 1, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) My wife decided she would like a digital photo frame as one of her Chrissie presents. I therefore decided to go for the latest tech and bought a Samsung 8" LED lit photo frame. Today I have been loading some images on for her by exporting from iPhoto, using the built in batch resizer and convert to JPEG facility. The colours on the Samsung are horrible - very cold, bluish and washed out. They look like pictures on a 1960's colour television. As far as I can tell, the only adjustment available is brightness. As I will be loading on about 1,000 pictures for her onto the frame and SD card, I am reluctant to artificially make a set of these, with a very warm colour balance and increased saturation, so that they display half decently. Has anyone else tried one of these LED frames and with what results. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share #2 Posted January 2, 2010 Done a bit of research on this and spoken to Samsung this morning. The frame is not Mac compatible. It cannot read SD cards formatted in a Mac, even if the Mac thinks they are MS/DOS FAT32. Samsung think that the embedded colour space in Mac generated JPEG's is not being read by the frame, so the frame is assigning its own colour space. I thought that a JPEG was a JPEG but apparently not. The really nice guy I spoke to in Korea this morning, said "I should not really be telling you this but what you need is an Aluratek Photo Frame, which is Mac friendly". My wife is going to visit my daughter in Baltimore at the end of January for her birthday, so I will get Amazon USA to send an Aluratek to her address. Now to try and get a refund from Curry's digital who told me "Oh yes sir - 100% Mac compatible" when I bought it. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
