Remove fade in/out from iPhoto slideshow export?

I'm bringing in some pictures from iPhoto and I've had bad luck with photo resolution when I used iMovie to import the picture and apply Ken Burns effects, etc. I've seen some suggestions here to use an iPhoto slideshow export instead.

So I'd like to make an export for each picture, but iPhoto insists on opening the slideshow with a fade in and closing with a fade out. Is there any way to prevent this? I'd like to add the transitions in iMovie instead.

(I realize that the iPhoto forum might be a better place for this so forgive the crosspost)

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Play the imported photo in iMovie and crop out the fade in/out bits, then change the duration of the still, if needed.

While one can certainly crop the fade in/out parts of such an import (it's accomplished by cutting frames off of an imported clip) -- there is no "still" whose duration can be changed (at least not lengthened).

If one chooses to try this approach, the slideshow in iPhoto should be built with relatively long durations, because once you get it into iMovie, it's like a haircut -- you can always cut more off, but you can't lengthen it.
