Digital Picture Viewer Functions And Uses

By Mark Durrett

Ah, the days of having to maintain your old camera. Having a limited number of pictures, having to get the film developed at the film development place, then waiting to get it back. And not to mention the photo albums you used to keep. If you wanted to show off your son's birthday party to your friends you would either have to invite them over or take the bulky albums to them. Ah, those days are long gone. Now we have digital cameras that allow us to see the picture right after it is taken. We now have the opportunity to upload these images not only to our computers but to online storage sites as well. And of course, you can print them to put in your old-style picture album. That's fine too. But today, we have digital picture viewers to do this for us.

What are those? Digital picture viewers are devices that allow you to view all your images in one place, like a photo album only digital and with a lot more storage. You have probable seen this on store shelves in the form of digital picture frames. They are also getting more and more popular as people want to show off their pictures. You can back up and instantly view your valuable pictures, and you don't even have to wait. Its operation is simple: just transfer the memory card from your camera over to the photo viewer and copy them to the viewer's hard drive. This relieves you of wondering if you will have enough space to continue taking pictures. Also it is very convenient as it saves you the trouble of carrying around a bulky laptop to transfer your images.

These digital picture viewers normally work with all image formats, and will work with all the common memory card formats for example SD/HC Card, Memory Stick and xD-Picture Card to name a few. With the digital photo frame you have the convenience of taking the album to your friends and family in a no hassle way. And luckily, many of them also come with a built-on hard drive, so you can have the viewer hold a large amount of images as well.

Not only will these digital picture viewers store images, they also have the capacity to store videos and music. I have read reviews of viewers that allow you to do some form of editing to your images using the viewer itself. Adding to the versatility of these devices, some will allow you the flexibility of printing straight from the viewer itself. Talk about convenience.

We are always looking for new ways to make our lives more convenient. We also love to take pictures of our favorite memories. With digital picture viewers you can save your pictures and show them to whoever you want, and whenever you want to. - 30452
