how do i make a slideshow on my iMac? I read that i can select photos and right click for slideshow option but i don't have this option, and quick view won't give me slideshow option either. when i use iPhoto slideshow the photos appear distorted...help!
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
As far as I know, there are three ways (with Mac software) to make a slideshow: iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD. The Ken Burns effect (the pan/zoom in/out) feature is not the best, so you will most likely not get a perfect result. I've made a fair number of slideshows and I've used a third party app for that for quite some time (because the built-in application didn't produce the quality I was looking for). I use Photo to Movie and it is absolutely great for special effects - it is not free though, but they have a free trial:

After I finish the slideshow, I export it at the highest quality settings and include it with video in iMovie or take it straight to iDVD to add a cool menu/theme.
You can also set up Preview to display pix in slideshow format. From Preview's Help -
Note, though, that although this displays pix in a slideshow, it can not be saved as a slideshow; you would need to set it up as one each time.
