These 7-inch 480×234 widescreen digital picture frames have a familiar look, enclosed in a conventional-looking frame that disguises their digital underpinnings. They’ll look right at home among all those other conventional picture frames on your desk.
They’re compatible with the usual array of flash memory cards, and can also play back MP3s with their integrated speakers, along with MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and DivX video files. Take your pick of styles appropriate as gifts for baby showers, weddings and such; all are £120.
Helpful hint from personal experience: digital picture frames are perfect gifts for semi-technical old folks, as long as you help them with setup—they’ll love you for it. – Charlie White

There are sites on the Internet that have free picture frame images (please check for any Copyright notices or restrictions). One such site is Creations By Dawn who kindly granted me permission to use one of her picture frame images for this lesson. Thank you Dawn.You will need three things to complete this lesson.
- An image of a picture frame.
- The photo you would like to set into the picture frame.
- A “table” code to combine the two images together.
Here is the picture frame image we will be using for this lesson.
The size of this image is 303 (W) x 303 (H) pixels. 
Here is the photo that we will use to set into the picture frame image.
The size of this image is 197 (W) x 197 (H) pixels. 
It is important that the image you are going to set into the picture frame be the correct size in order to completely fill the blank opening in the center of the picture frame. You can resize your image using a graphics program or adjust the width and height of the image code (this can distort the image sometimes, and is not recommended). What I did was set the photo into the picture frame image (using the table code that you will find below), then I adjusted the width and height of the photo until the photo fit just right into the picture frame. Now you will know what the exact width and height of your photo has to be if you choose to resize/crop your photo with a graphics program.Below you will see the finished picture frame image and photo combined using a “table” code.
Below is the “table” code used to combine the picture frame and the photo.
If the cost of printing photos or having them developed is getting too much, you can always get all hi-tech and opt for a digital photo frame. Philips has announced two nice looking new 9in models, the modern looking 9FF2M4 (£200) and the wood-finish 9FF2CWO (£180).
OK, so cheap they are not. There is a USB slot for transferring photos on the internal memory from a camera or PC, as well as a built-in memory card slot compatible with SD, MMC, Memory Stick and CompactFlash.
You can place the frame horizontally or vertically, whichever one makes you look thinner, while photos can be displayed for different amounts of time. Like I said, cute but not cheap, and until we start getting frames that are a whole lot cheaper, people are going to still go photo printing route.-Martin Lynch

It is somewhat rare to show framed pictures on the internet. Perhaps this is because the internet is something of a frame in itself. We are here following Hanneke van Oosterhout’s still-life painting, from the drawing to (hopefully) the gallery-sold work; in real life her work benefits from the real type of frame.
Choosing a good frame is difficult. Compared to painting the painting, choosing the frame is highly constrained by one factor in particular: cost. The ideal frame can raise the market value of a painting, but before an exhibition, one does not know what will sell. Investing in the frame is therefore a sort of speculation. For the painting above, Hanneke felt she made a satisfactory choice. The physical texture of the frame complements that painted in the shells. The frame is made from pre-fabricated profile stock and was not inordinately expensive. In the photo it looks pretty good. But in real life the frame screams, “second rate quality!” The reason for this is simple. The physical texture of the profile stock, prefabricated rather than hand crafted for this frame, does not “mesh” at the corners where the profile was cut and joined together. This subtle aspect is important in real life. It undercuts the value of the frame (and the painting) for the discerning collector. I suppose the really discerning collector would buy the painting and invest in a new frame.
In the work above, the frame is hand-crafted. That is to say, someone did some work decorating the frame after the corners were joined. In the photo, this is not obvious, but in real life, it makes a big difference in the feeling of the frame, its feeling of worth. Of course, this type of frame is somewhat more expensive. But if a painting is good, a certain quality (and expense) of frame is called for, otherwise the frame drags the painting down. A good frame helps, but better no frame than the wrong frame.
The frame depicted above (sorry about the quality of the photo) is made from pre-fabricated stock, the type of frame you can buy at a normal frame-making shop. Although not “hand finished” it does not have a “cheap” feel to it. The reason is clear: the profile “meshes” at the corners, because of its simple form. A handcrafted frame of a similar profile would appear more sophisticated, but the frame above does quite well. Or does it? You comments, as always, are appreciated.
On the question of how to frame pictures for exhibition, Angela Ferreira commented:
I think the best way to exhibit any painting to appeal to a wide variety of buyers is to display it with a very simple effective frame, or leave the canvas unframed. Framing can be distracting and might not appeal to some — most people like buying a painting and then framing it to their own house style.
Of course, a painting only has to appeal to one buyer — the one who takes it home. In this way, a painting is different from a book or a song. Most people know how challenging it is to frame a picture. If the artist does a good job in choosing a frame, this can save the buyer a lot of effort and decision-making.
The right frame can enhance the value of a painting. But the artist takes a risk in framing, as Angela implies. The time and money invested on the frames may not be well spent.
Should artists consider the frame as an integral part of their work and strive to get it right, whatever the risk or complexity? Or is it better to leave framing to the buyer?
