Use an order you can recognize
Create a small rehearsal with three owned images labelled first, second and third. Keep their order explicit and avoid randomization while learning the route. This makes a return result interpretable; a large folder of similar photographs does not.
Inspect the visibility choice
OBS Image Slide Show documents behavior while the source is not visible, along with manual or automatic progression and playback order controls. Choose the behavior that fits the presentation. A background sequence may continue during a presenter scene, while a narrated sequence may need to wait.
Leave after the first image and return after an interval long enough for another image to have appeared. Compare the result with the written plan. Do not change image timing and visibility policy at the same time, because either could alter the returned image.
Rehearse the audience cue
Inspect the final scene sequence in a short recording, including the moment the slideshow returns. If a particular image must begin a discussion, verify that exact requirement rather than accepting that some image appears. Keep manual navigation as an operator decision where timing is tied to speech.
This article describes an authored rehearsal. It does not report a tested slideshow or establish that a folder’s filenames express the desired editorial order.
Questions answered
Is a changed image on return always wrong?
No. It can be consistent with a slideshow that continues while hidden.
Why begin with three labelled images?
They make the returned position and order easy to recognize.
