If you're using some flavor of Windows Laptop, Irfanview will let you create an slide show in an windows EXE file. You can specify how it will fit on the display, say full width of full height and pick a background color, black usually works well, even add music, though I think I'd kill something if a continuously looping slideshow played "Love Story" over and over and over... I'd check that out. It's almost idiot proof.

Hi folks,

I've been below periscope depth most of the last month, largely because our 
son's wedding is Saturday.

For the rehearsal dinner Friday, I've gathered 150 jpgs of him and his fiancee 
through the years, which I'd like to have running as a continuous looping slide 
show.  The venue has a 1080P projector with a DVD player attached, though one 
can also attach one's computer.

The guy at the venue recommended transferring the pix to iMovie and burning it 
to a DVD.  I tried that, but the tops and bottoms of portrait-oriented pix got 
cut off.  Time is short, so I can't do anything elaborate.

So, the questions are:
- is there another way to project from a DVD?
- If not, and we have to take a laptop along, would you recommend projecting 
from Lightroom, iPhoto, or something else?
- Is there an advantage to a pdf slide show?  What software would you use to 
project it?

Thanks!

Rick
