I suspect that most modern Frames will do that. If yours does not, just put the pix on a memory card. All of them will read a SD memory card Bob Williams

Mine is sold by a company called EDGE. They offer a good product at a reasonable price. My frame is 2 years old and the model is discontinued. But here is a link to their current offerings. They accept the USB flash Drive interface. Hope this helps...........Bob Williams > http://www.edgetechcorp.com/accessories/digital-photo-frame.asp

In general, if a frame can accomodate any such external memory source, I'd strongly recommend using it as the defacto way of doing business, rather than relying on the frame's internal memory...its simply far easier to manage. My wife's old picture frame has had a recurring problem with memory errors creeping into its internal memory, causing images to randomly become corrupted. To fix, she would have to pack up and drag the whole thing home from work so that it could be purged and images re- installed. With a memory card... on the very rare occasion that it corrupts the card, its small & easy to bring home, and then its a much faster wipe & copy from where all of its images (often modified/cropped to better fill the frame) had been placed in a dedicated subdirectory on the home PC's hard drive. -hh |
