Hiya all, would like to be able to display portrait images as shot on camera via a Samsung netbook, I'd like to go for a Wi-Fi card to send the images from the camera to the netbook and for software to display the images as taken.

some trials so far, tried PKteher, won't display unless camera attached by cable, Picasa 3 will import but not show full screen each image as shot.

Comments, software recommendations, solutions very welcome,

Not yet purchased a wi-fi card as would like to test it works first, have been throwing files at input folder to mimick action.

Currnetly running Picasa 3, Pentax K5 / K7, CS4

Cheers

I use the built in card reader for transferring the photos over so can't help on the wifi aspect.

I'm not sure it will work with a wifi card but I use Irfanview on my Samsung netbook to view photos. I can see DNGs PEfs and jpgs with it, full screen.

Thanks Gwyn, I use a card reader to tfr images over and Picasa 3 imports them fine, it's trying to get them to view ideally full screen as they import 1 at a time that I'm attempting to do.

ps - I've also tried Lightroom 3 - no success.

Seems it can be done with lightroom.

To show full screen after setting to tethered shooting, ensure you are in Library mode which will show your photos after they are imported from each shot, then change from grid to full view. If you are not sure which you are on, then take a tethered photo, after it is in grid view, if it doesn't show full screen, just hit enter until it does.

Did that work?
