By default the title and comments appear at the bottom of the image in a slideshow. I would like to place this information outside the actual image so as not to obscure it. Is there a way to change placement?
Those position are hard coded into the application and cannot be changed. What you see is what you get.
Unless you use an application like PhotoToMovie:

(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
I have just explored FotoMagico and bought it. It is very impressive. Has several options for final output including those which will run on your iTV, disc player, computer, etc. Editing is also extensive with many options for titles, title placement and text animation, transitions, addition of sound including voice over, etc.
Thanks for the feedback, which helps others! 🙂
How do I change placement of Title and Comments?
