Want to see a photos comments in a slide show

Is there a way to do this? I know I can include the Title, but is there a way to see Comments?
I use Comments to describe, or comment, or tell a story about the capture.
Comments upload with the photo to Picasa and show up in the slide show there.
Don't know about .MAC. Not using that yet.
Anyone?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

If you create the slideshow in iDVD (for burning to a DVD) you can opt to show the photo titles and comments. The trade-off is that there is no Ken Burns effect (zooming and panning) in an iDVD slideshow.

Thnx Smtr.....

That would work but the Comments don't come over as far as I can see. I have to add them manually again.

BTW...
If you create a slideshow in iPhoto and then export it to iDVD you can have the Ken Burns effect.

In iDVD, click the Settings gear icon and select +Show photo titles and comments+. They will display on every photo (if they have them in iPhoto). The title is larger; the comment appears as a subtitle below it.

I don't know of any way to do that automatically if you export an iPhoto slideshow.

Yes, I can do that, but I do not want the Titles. Titles is the file name and in my case it is DSCXXXXX. I just want the Comments.

I submitted a "Provide Feedback to the iDVD Team. Maybe in a few years they will give us the option of either or both Titles and Comments.

I agree that it would be a great option. I don't like to title my photos, either.

Regards.
