Here’s a handy, simple piece of software to help you make the most of your digital photo frame. Think of those black areas appearing on the screen when a photo shows that’s not the same ratio as the screen. Yucky and distracting, right? I’ve just tried out FrameSize 2.0, a simple solution for resizing and cropping your pics to the required aspect ratio of your digital photo frame. You simply preset the ratio of your screen in pixels, and load a photo. A frame overlay will appear on your photo that you can move up and down, and when you’re happy with the crop, click Save and a copy of the crop will be saved.

You can also load more than one pic at a time and crop them one of the other, saving a bit of time.

As is the case with most freeware the interface won’t win any awards for user-friendliness and outstanding features, but FrameSize does what it’s supposed to do. Sure, you can do the same in any of a dozen other graphics and photo manipulation packages, but if you don’t already have your fancy shortcuts set up in Photoshop to crop your photos destined for your digital photo frame, give Framesize a try.
