PhotoSpring frames have a formatting feature which works to display photos on screen the way that you like them. However, the preset methods of Fill, Fit or Auto may not always display photos exactly the way you want.
To format the on screen look of the photo, PhotoSpring provides a Photo Format Editing feature that lets you edit the displayed area of the photo to your exact specifications. Here's how you do it:
Step 1: Go to the photo you want to format and from the slideshow tap on the photo. It should reveal buttons all around.
Step 2: Tap the Edit button in the lower left corner of the screen. See below and look for the red arrow that points to the edit button. This will take you to a screen that will allow you to edit the view of the photo. (Note the rotate button just above the Edit button, which lets you rotate photos as well.)
Step 3: In the format editing screen you can control the viewable area of the photo by resizing and moving the rectangle you see on screen. The borders of the rectangle represent the viewable area of the screen. Anything outside of the rectangle will not be seen. Anything inside will be seen. You can change the box by either pinching in/out or dragging one of the corners
There are also the following buttons available:
- Landscape button - tap this to view and edit the landscape formatting. This controls how the photo will look when the frame is in Landscape orientation.
- Portrait button - tap this to view and edit the portrait formatting. This controls how the photo will look when the frame is in Portrait orientation.
- Reset - tap this to reset to the frame default formatting
- Save - tap this to save your changes
Notes:
- Once you make changes don't forget to save them
- If you rotate a photo any changes you made to the formatting are reset.
