How long should a transition last for slideshow photography?

Photography slideshows are a great way to present your photos to a client. At a minimum, viewers should have 3-4 seconds to look at each image in your slideshow. That's about 10-15 images per minute. With Animoto, you can easily create and edit photography slideshows to your desired length and style.
