Hi Paul,

without an exact error message we can just guess. I think, following these steps will help you:

1. Look into the photo frame manual to see which image types it can handle. I guess JPEG/JPG will be among them.

2. If the images are not already in this format: open them in GIMP and export them to that format (if GIMP has it, but of course it can export to JPEG). If you have many photos to convert using GIMP will surely take a long time. You might have more luck then with image viewing or conversion programs, which can do this as batch job.

3. If that doesn't work then something else might be the cause. Try to find support from the photoframes manual, manufacturer or community.

Greetings,

Sven

Old hardware (digital frames or DVD readers with a slide show function) doesn't support "progressive" JPEG while this has become a default setting in recent Gimp releases. This can be changed in the the JPEG save dialog settings (advanced options)(and save that as the new defaults...).

If that's the case, existing progressive JPEGs can also be losslessly transformed to standard ones by using jpegtran inputfile.jpg > outputfile.jpg

Hello and thank you for your reply.

I'm confused. In my GIMP there is on JPG advanced save function . There is an export function but it gives you no advanced options

When you export a JPG you get this:

And when you expand the Advanced Options you get this:
