It relies on:<br \/>\n* Cart and zipcart modules in Gallery 2 being installed (<a  href=\"http:\/\/gallery.menalto.com\/\">http:\/\/gallery.menalto.com\/<\/a>) &#8211; I&#8217;ve installed this on <a  href=\"http:\/\/3cats.us\/gallery\">http:\/\/3cats.us\/gallery<\/a><br \/>\n* The MS resize images powertool being installed (<a  href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windowsxp\/downloads\/powertoys\/xppowertoys.mspx\">http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windowsxp\/downloads\/powertoys\/xppowertoys.mspx<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Steps:<br \/>\n# Add albums to cart<br \/>\n# &quot;checkout&quot; the cart as a zip file (slow action for me)<br \/>\n# Unzip to new directory<br \/>\n# Rotate all photos clockwise (ctrl-a, right-click, rotate clockwise)<br \/>\n# Rotate all photos counterclockwise (ctrl-a, right-click, rotate counterclockwise)<br \/>\n# Resize images to 1024&#215;768 &#8211; use advanced to not make copies (ctrl-a, right click, resize pictures)<br \/>\n# Copy to flash drive (ctrl-a, ctrl-c, move to flash drive, ctrl-v)<\/p>\n<p>Questions:<br \/>\nWhy rotate all photos twice? Because Gallery sends images taken in portrait images as portrait, but apparently leaves the &quot;this image is a portrait image&quot; tag\/setting\/whatever that I assume is in the EXIF data set. So the digital photo frame rotates the image again and that doesn&#8217;t work out so good. Rotating the images appears to clear this setting.<\/p>\n<p>Why the size larger than the frame? Because the powertool leaves images that don&#8217;t match the perscribed aspect ratio larger than we would like. For example if you tell it to do a 3&#215;2 ratio image to a 800&#215;480, it gives you a 800&#215;547, which the frame still has to resize. I like giving the frame a little more to work with, and 1024&#215;768 makes for a small image with a little extra goodies for the frame to display it nicely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>    <![CDATA[]]><br \/>\n     <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/2008\/01\/flash-picture-frame-transfers\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.3cats.us\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
