Steps to Create 16:9 Content for 
MemoryFrame
 (Portrait) 
Step 1: Create the 9:16 Source 
Image 
This time divide the height by the 
width to check the dimensions. 
The image should be 1.7778 
times taller (16 / 9) that it is wide. 
The Eiffel tower on the right 
shows the correct initial image.  
 
 
Step 2: Resize to 600x800 
That’s 600 pixels wide, 800 
pixels tall. The next image shows 
the image squished to 3:4 aspect, 
ready for sending to a 
MemoryFrame
Step 3: Save as High Quality 
JPEG 
 
Step 4: Add to Slideshow and 
Send to MemoryFrame
 
Right off the bat, the biggest 
mistake that people make when 
preparing portrait slideshows is 
not setting the slideshow to 
portrait orientation. This is done 
through the “View/Switch to 
Portrait View” menu option in the 
Digital PixMaster. Do not rotate 
the images 90 degrees to get a 
portrait slideshow – using the 
menu option will do it correctly 
and show portrait thumbnails at 
the same time.
