Can a digital photo frame collage be randomized?<\/h2>

Pix-Star\u2019s digital photo frame<\/a> collage can be randomized. The collage feature still follows the general slideshow play order & frequency settings. This means that if you set the Pix-Star frame to display photos alphabetically, newest first, oldest, random, or with play mode settings (repeat recent pictures more often, only play the latest photos, or ignore small pictures) \u2013 these settings will be applied to collages too.All of these slideshow settings give you total control of the appearance and order of slideshows. Most of these settings are also available remotely via Pix-Star\u2019s remote configuration feature. You can start & manage slideshows from anywhere in the world via the web interface. It\u2019s excellent for families and elderly users that want to be more involved but aren\u2019t very tech-savvy.<\/p> <\/div>

Pix-Star\u2019s digital photo frame collage feature is free to use on all Pix-Star frames.

How to set up a digital photo frame collage?<\/h2>

To set up a digital photo frame collage on the Pix-Star frame, you have two options. The first is on the home page via Change Settings > Slideshow > Display Mode. Here you can cycle through several display modes such as Smart Fill, Upscale to fit (the display), and a photos collage with either 4 or 5 pictures.Note that there are two sets of collage settings. The only difference between them is the \u201cNo Crop\u201d option. If you choose the \u201cNo Crop\u201d option, the photos in the collage will be displayed as full and won\u2019t be cropped to fill space on the screen. The second set involved cropping the images to perfectly fit the screen and leave no space between photos. If you\u2019re going to choose this option, we suggest using the four-photo collage as it better suits the Pix-Star\u2019s 4:3 aspect ratio \u2013 especially when sending photos that were taken on a smartphone.The second option is to adjust the photo collage settings from inside a slideshow. Simply press the \u201cMenu\u201d button on the frame or the remote and navigate to Slideshow Options > Display Mode. Here you can choose from any of the display modes and collage options (no crop vs crop). We prefer this method as you don\u2019t need to exit the slideshow and the new settings will be implemented as soon as you leave the pop-up menu.<\/p> <\/div>
