Topic 1: Nikon Coolpix N1
Given by my sister in law and ascii Adam to our family. She wasn't using it to the full capabilities, thought that I could
Possible Hack or making the most of other devices:
- Take a picture on the camera
- Optimize picture on the computer.
- Upload picture to phone card in the My pictures folder
- Txt the picture to Flickr and Facebook via email
- Personal Flickr upload email address can be found on the upload page.
Tip: Experiment with the ideal file size that can be texted by your phone.

Ideas:
1.Optimizing Pictures for the frame
The optimized picture format is 16x9 in horizontal without any black bars
- Create a templates within an image editing software like Photoshop or GIMP (I used GIMP)
- Create a New Image with the parameters
- 16x9 for Horizontal and 8x9 for Vertical (50 dpi)
- Save as Template
- Create a New Image using one of your frame templates
- Open a picture using Open as Layer.
- Resize and tweek the image to within the new image parameters
- Save As.. jpg file onto a compatible memory card
2. Leave an "If found" default message
Within the frame's minimal internal memory
- create/design a few pictures (slides) with the words
- "If Found please return to: (your name)" "Please email or call (leave # or email)"
- At least one current picture of your self.
- Transfer these images to the default directory within the frame
- When the frame is turned on without a card your message will be displayed.
3.Possible Hack:
- For cameras that use a non-compatible memory card and mounts as a Drive when connected to a computer
- Connect the camera to frame via USB port
- Copy the pictures to a compatible memory card using the file folders option
