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:

Hello

I have been given a circa 2006 Photo frame that works very well except the
system on it is set for DOS 16 bit and my more modern photos refuse to work.

I can save the photos but is errors on them.

How do I save the photos in a form that this device can use?

Thank you for any assistance

Regards

Paul



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...).

DOS 16 had file name length restrictions.  Try shorter names on a few that
don't work, see if that helps.

Good Luck

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
