How Do I Change the Resolution and Quality of pictures Downloaded by Big Screen Photos 2? << Return to the Getting Started Menu. When drilling down on photo details - Big Screen Screen Photos v2 allows you to browse the available sizes offered by Yahoo! flickr and nominate a specific dimension for viewing/downloading. (The screen pictured below is accessible via the Photo Details | more | View Available Sizes button). The available sizes will be determined by the 'original' size that was uploaded (which may be several megapixels if uploaded directly from a digital camera) - and the type of user account that the photo belongs to (as non 'pro' accounts have restrictions on storage space/size). Yahoo flickr! also automatically creates and stores smaller versions of the photo - based on some 'preset' sizes (such as 'Large', 'Medium' etc). ![]() When viewing Photos in full screen (either by themselves - or part of a slideshow) - Big Screen Screen Photos v2 will also automatically nominate the 'best photo size' to download/display based on your settings. These settings can help tune/optimize the viewing experience to best suite your available bandwidth and storage limitations (as in some cases the 'Original' photo may be several megabytes in size - hence taking a lot more time to download and more space to store than the 'Large' version). By default (when this product is installed) - the 'Large' version will be downloaded/displayed - however you can change this by following the steps below : a. On the main menu - go to Configuration menu - and select the icon titled 'configuration'. ![]() b. Click on the menu button maked 'Slideshow'. (as pictured below). ![]() c. Select the appropriate setting to nominate which size photo should be downloaded by default - which can be 'Original', 'Large' or 'Medium'. Note that this settings is the 'Maximum' photo size that can be downloaded - and in some cases a smaller size may only be available depending on the size uploaded by the user (ie. if you select 'Original' as your default size setting - and the maximum size on offer from flickr is 'Large' - then the 'Large' version will be downloaded).. NB: You should only select 'Original' if you have a fast Internet Connection (ie. ADSL2) - as some photos may be very large (3mb+) and take significant time to download. ![]() d. Click the Save button to permenantly store this setting. Please visit our online FAQ if you require further assistance - or Contact Us via Email. |
