Not sure why you feel it's "unlikely to work" when it's almost exactly the same as viewing a PDF in Windows.

 The slides were all created in Photoshop and saved as jpegs, and they are named numerically. The fonts won't be an issue.

The best thing about Photo Viewer is that no controls show up onscreen as you play, or pause the slide show. It will make for a nice clean presentation up on the big screen.

I see no significant difference between running the jpegs as a slide show, or running a PDF fullscreen, in fact, it looks pretty much identical on my laptop either way.

Gotcha. Yah I don't need transitions. The platform is my personal laptop, plugged into a projection system, so if it works on my screen, it should work on the big screen.

Thanks for the feedback!
