Hello Everyone - I'm trying to do a "Virtual 8th Grade Promotion" slide show for a class of about 300. I have all of their pictures and the "Magazine" slideshow function in photos is soooo close to being perfect. For some reason however, it combines some collections of images into 2 some into one with tons of blank space, and some into 5 with strange sizing. Is there a way to force it to do only a certain layout of 2 or 3 pictures but maintain the "style" of the magazine transition and background? I know I can move individual pictures around but that's about all I can do - the singletons with blank spaces and 5 (1 large, 4 small) all remain. I'm not "stuck" on the magazine style but all of the options seem to have their own quirks and few settings. I'm also open to doing this in iMovie or another product if I could find a template to allow me to make a similar style show or something else effective if someone has any suggestions.

I've attached screenshots from the slideshow (faces taken out of course) so you can better see what I mean.
Thanks for any suggestions!
