What types of slideshows can I make in iPhoto?
You have two choices. In older versions of iPhoto, you could play an album as a slideshow, and the album could even retain slideshow settings. You can still do that, but you can also create an improved type of slideshow that exists on its own in the Source list. These highly customizable “cinematic” slideshows allow mixed transitions, varied slide durations, and the pan-zoom Ken Burns effect, for example. When you click the Slideshow button, iPhoto creates one of the new slideshows in the Source List, like “London Slideshow” in this picture. The old type of slideshow is still there too, but its control has moved. Select a regular album, then click the Play button at the bottom left corner of the iPhoto window. When you click this Play button, you’ll get the older, familiar format.
