This is something I worked on with Momento (now owned by iMate) in their DPF - to support multiple aspect ratios and do smart cropping when necessary. Overall I think it does a good job. http://www.amazon.com/i-mate-Momento-Wireless-Digital-Picture/dp/B000J6FVC2 I completely agree.

The screen is 15 inches (I think) so this isn’t as much of a problem as it would be for a smaller frame. One thing you can do here when going the DIY route is choose your own slideshow software and customize it. Mine actually sits landscape and does show all photos including landscape and portrait orientation, but it also zooms in or out as it displays. This makes viewing those photos that aren’t landscape a bit better and looks pretty professional if I do say so myself :) Here’s the link to the project if your interested: http://brentevans.blogspot.com/2007/05/converting-old-laptop-into-digital.html I’ll have to go back and see what software I’m using on the frame since I switched from Slickr a few months ago. Anyway, I imagine the DPF makers will eventually make an interface that does what you are asking. I just like the diy route as I can make it my way for less money - for now at least. I’ve started a blog that highlights other peoples DIY Digital Picture Frame Projects if you ever get the urge to make one - it’s actually a lot of fun. http://diydigitalframes.blogspot.com Rakesh,
