Hey guys, what do you think is the best way to view digital pictures. I have a collection of digital pictures of completed projects I'd like to run in a steady loop for perspective customers to see. Should I use a memory card in a USB capable TV or get a p.c. monitor? Is this a dumb question, it certainly seems so, sorry and thanks.   |

Is this for use in the shop? If not, and it is to take to people's homes or place of business why not incorporate them into a Powerpoint presentation? This will then allow you to use titles, captions and include other information on other slides. Then you can show it to clients on a laptop or their own computer. You can also burn copies onto CDs as a leave behind.

You might also consider something like Slideshare www.slideshare.netUpload your presentation, then send the link to clients so they can view on their own |

You guys have good ideas.
My intention is to run the pictures steadily in the window of my showroom.
This is in an effort to bolster my retail trade which is very weak. My commercial work is slow also but at least steady.

I'd just get a digital picture frame. Depending on size, they are less than a hundred bucks and can hold hundreds, probably thousands of photos.

Yes Jake and thanks, the only limitation is frame size. They tend to be small.

My first thought was the digital picture frame also they go up to 15" now and for a passive presentation (where you are not there to discuss the pictures) its an inexpensive product thats easy to use and to update.

I run a continuous presentation for our clients in our reception area. I just created a power point with the photos, graphics, and images. And I run it on an old vintage Mac that still works but has sat idle in a corner for many years. It is a good size screen and has kind of a nice retro look too.

I run a continuous presentation in my reception area too. I created it by getting the photos printed then I put them into a presentation album. It is run by a young Eastern European boy who came to the UK looking for work. He stands idle in the corner for many hours until a client comes in then he holds it up and flicks through the pages for them. The pictures are of a good size, it has a nice retro look and is cheap to run with a small carbon footprint.

You're right Beeb it does and certainly pulls in the 'pink pound' too.

Hey, whatever happens in your reception area, *stays* in your reception area.
