Simple transitions can be the best option

I mostly use the simple linear and blend transitions in Proshow.  They’re usually the least distracting in the display of slides in a slide show.  In a fast pace show,  using a cut transition is effective when the slide changes match the beats in a faster piece of music/soundtrack.

The others various transitions available to the user in the program have their place but I only use them occasionally, to emphasize the next image being introduced on the screen.
