Image horizontal reel scroll slideshow

So far I haven't been able to find another plugin that will handle images with different widths.  This plugin has been doing the job on our website for a number of years now without a hitch.
It's a bit jerky because of the JS technique used, but I suspect this is unavoidable because the images are different sizes. I'm guessing that the carousel plugins that require regularly sized images are able to use a different technique.

The only plugin for irregular width images

Image horizontal reel scroll slideshow plugin lets you showcase images in a horizontal scroll style. Scroll will start automatically.
