You can't, simply. An iPhoto Slideshow can only draw from a single library, so you'll need to get all the images into one.


Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:


iMovie is on every Mac sold.


Others, in order of price:


PhotoToMovie $49.95

PulpMotion $129

FotoMagico $99

Final Cut Pro X $299


It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.
