Last night I came across a free zip/unzip utility that has graphics software relevance. ZipGenius 5 Suite comes bundled with a nifty little JPEG slide show utility. It doesn't have a lot of customization options for the slide show, but you can add a comment for each picture. It works by bundling all the pictures into a single exe file that your recipient need only double-click to view your pictures. The player has options for the recipient to save or print each picture, and because the exe file is really a zip, the recipient can extract the individual images to a folder. The player only adds about 380KB to the total size of all your pictures. Check it out here: ZipGenius 5 - Be sure to download the Suite Edition. It also comes with an FTP utility, backup options, a scan & zip mode, and excellent zip and unzip capabilities. All for free!

If you require more elaborate slide shows, take a look at the slide show software categories on this site: Windows Slide Show Software, Macintosh Slide Show Software
