Display only the first n field items Goal: For a multiple-value field, display only the first n (e.g. the first 3) field items.

E.g. only the first 3 of 10 images in an image field.

I realize this is possibly by writing a custom field formatter. But I wonder if there is an existing solution available. Also to mix this up with existing formatters.

Hint: I use Display Suite, so solutions which involve that are welcome.
There is a setting how many items to display in Display Suite. The setting is demoed in this screencast: http://youtu.be/fa56OZcJq-4?t=1m20s
