Blurry Photos in Slideshow

I have IPhoto 6.06. I moved pictures from email to my desk top. From the desk top I moved the Jpeg photos to a slide show. The pictures look fine when I place them into IPhoto. But when I play back the slideshow the pictures are blurry. Any suggestions on how to fix?

iMAC, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

That's your problem then.

These are thumbnails - really tiny, postage stamp-sized images. When the Mac tries to play them at full screen in the slideshow there is simply not enough data to work with. Ask the sender to give you full sized pics.

I initially downloaded the photos to my PC and I see they are 2MB. How can I get them transferred to my IMAC at 2MB? I no longer have the pictures in the camera so I can't directly load them to IMAC.

Copy the files to a USB Flash drive? Email them to yourself at Full size? Network the two machines together?
