Importing JPGs in Photo Studio 2

[roncamp]

I have been importing jpgs of various sizes into my Solitaire. Most have loaded just fine, but I have encountered a few that will not load. I put them on a CD-RW, and can see them in My Computer, but when I put the disk in Solitaire, PS2 tells me there is nothing on the disk. Are there criteria for the jpgs I need to pay attention to? The PS2 manual isn't very helpful in that regard.

There was a lot of discussion on this topic in July, click on the link. viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1619&start=0&st=0& ... &hilit=ps2

The jist of one of my comments was

Firstly with PS2, it will only recognise photos that are saved in *jpg format, if they are JPEG, they will not be seen by PS2. You can “save as” on your PC, in the required format.

Secondly, they need to be in at least 24Bit colour, better still 48Bit. Even if they are black and white photos, they will again need to be "saved as" colour photos.

And thirdly they must be of a certain size resolution. I’m not sure what the minimum resolution size is, but anything over 500 X 375 will be seen, but not necessarily of sufficient size to be animated. I usually take photos of at least 2048 X 1536, or if scanning I use a resolution of at least 300dpi. This will enable transfer and animation, no problem.

You can enhance low resolution photos as below, using Adobe Photoshop or some other good photo program. Although they can never be enhanced to the quality of a high resolution scan of an original photo, they can be improved using Photoshop, such that they can be used in PS2 animations or reasonable print quality.

I hope this will help.
