Once you have the basic organization for a slideshow in Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom™, give it some sort of timing as to how long each slide is on-screen and how long the transitions are between each image. This affects how the photos look together and gives a distinct mood or impression of the photos for your audience. As you change timing, you may find you need to readjust some of your photos. Two photos that looked good when you saw them quickly together might not work right if there is a long dissolve (or blending) of the images as they transition from one to the other.
