Slideshow from portfolio for school careers fair

[IanDavidson]

I am attending a school careers fair this week to talk on news photography. (I know, don’t do it no money...). I would like to set up a slide show of my portfolio on Alamy.  Has anyone got any bright ideas how to do this short of having to import photos, individually into PowerPoint or similar.

Haven't tried any, but I think a slide show from URLs would be the easiest - would probably only have to enter the URL for each image. So will have to be selected images. Here is a list from a Google search:

If your images are on Alamy,, you will probably have them available on your desktop/laptop already, so no downloading needed.

If you're on a PC, my favorite is IrfanView. Just copy all image to one folder/directory/map and do this.

You can even make an automated one with music, or a cd  that starts automatcally when inserted (Irfan has been around for a while  😉)

 

But there's a quick and dirty solution in the File Explorer  here.

And if you're on a mac there's an equivalent, just use the preview function of the Finder like so.
