PhotoShop 7 & DCF Compliant format

[Dana Aultman]

I recently purchases a SONY HDTV that has a Memory Stick connector to allow for JPG slide shows. The manual says it only works with JPG's taken with SONY products, but that isn't really true. My Kodak DX3900 digital camera uses DCF file format and if I transfer JPG's from its card to the Memory Stick with no other changes, they display fantastic. If, however, I do any kind of editing or file name changes, I get file error from the TV. I'm assuming that both XP and Adobe do not conform to this DCF standard when saving files & folders. Has anyone out there dealt with this? Is there a workaround? I have hundreds of edited JPG's that I would love to dump on a Memory Stick and view on this wonderful TV. Thanks to anyone who can help.

I would guess that more than Adobe conforming to the DCM standard (I
don't know one way or the other on that) the problem is Sony created
their own proprietary standard to strongarm people in to buying their
products. Apaprently they never learned from their Beta VCR format
fiasco that caused them to lose an entire market.

When they say "...only Sony products" are they referring to the Memory Stick? Are there competing brands of Memory Sticks that will not play on your TV?

My Olympus C-720UZ digital camera allows any Smart memory card to be used, but I can only use the Panarama feature if I use an Olympus Brand card.

They were specifically refering to Sony digital cameras, but my Kodak camera and Lexar Memory Stick do just fine. The problem is that I can only seem to use the image right out of the camera with no PC intervention. If I just copy the folder from Smart Card to Memory Stick, it is fine. Unfortunately, I uusually take the large (1 mb) JPG, touch it up, and save it as a compressed JPG of a size around 200 kb. It is these 200 kb files that I want to display, but because the PC and Adobe have altered them, they no longer are DCF compliant and the TV objects.
