Picture Frames and Photos

Picture frames are normally made of hard or soft wood. Other materials�such as polystyrene or aluminum�are used as well. Picture frames may be of any texture or color, but gilding is popular on older frames. Depending on the subject matter of photos, picture frames can have elaborate mouldings. Picture frames may contain a glass pane or a plastic glass substitute, like Plexiglas�this protects the photos. Glass may be treated with assorted coatings, the most traditional being UV filters. Glazings such as Optium, Denglas and Museum glass have a coating that makes the glass partly non-reflective and basically invisible under ideal lighting situations.

Of course with the benefits of digital frames are new aspects to deal with, such as power supply, memory, and the transfer of pictures from their source to the digital photo frame. Most models of digital frames allow you to transfer your photos either straight from your camera or from your computer by providing memory card slots. These usually support a variety of types of memory devices: Secure Digital (SD), Multimedia Card (MMC), Memory Stick (MS), or Compact Flash (CF) - generally the same type of memory cards that go in your camera.If you own a digital photo frame, either because you decided to buy one to replace your traditional frames, or because you got one as a gift, it�s probably a 5-inch, 7-inch, or 8-inch digital picture frame. These are the popular sizes in digital frames that have been also affordable. But like all consumer electronics, prices have steadily come down as quality has increased, and Portable USA has staked its future on a larger set of digital frames, 10-inch, 12-inch, and even a beautiful 15-inch frame. These stunning digital LCD frames from Portable in larger sizes can be real eye catchers that light up a room.Josie Lee has a wide collection of picture frames.

The large 10.4� screen is brilliantly clear and beautiful. It�s hard to realize how much larger a 10-inch frame is than a 7-inch frame until you actually see your pictures on the extra LCD real estate (it�s about 40% more screen area). It looks beautiful displaying your personal digital pictures. The frame is real wood in a cherry finish with a black matting which gives it a contemporary look, when combined with the crisp screen looks great in any room. The PU-10W digital picture frame like many Portable USA frames has ports for 2 memory cards which are compatible with most memory types, and also has 128 MB of internal memory to store a good number of digital pictures directly on the frame.
