I did this for a living. Use one. It's by far more professional. Otherwise you look like a tool, with too many toys.

I concur. I've made many videos and just use fade. Go from one to the other. It looks 100x better and nicer. If you go from fade to star to glass break to all that stuff it looks like a kid just learning photoshop filters and stuff. Fade all the way

All you need is the star wipe. Why eat hamburger when you can have steak?

One. Nothing is more annoying than a million different crazy slide transitions.

I disagree that one transition is always best with photos. It gets repetitious. But, the transitions you use should NOT distract from the photos. Rather, they should enhance the photos. There are plenty of tools, such as slowly zooming toward the focal point of a photo, that make a presentation a bit more interesting.

edit: a powerpoint presentation where the presentation is there to enhance what the speaker is saying, not distract from the speaker - one transition, definitely. But, if you're trying to keep people focused on the photos, then more than one transition. That's not to say that 90% of the transitions are appropriate. 90% of them, even when used as the only transition, make it look like a kid with a new toy.
