HI, Ive created slide shows in dvd workshop before, but I never figured out how to make the pictures fill up the entire screen. ( i dont want a black border)..
---My scanning resolution is 300 (the pictures are 4x6)
--My Project properties are set to NTSC

Possibly what you need to do is edit your pictures (in a graphics editor) and "crop" them so that the width:height ratio is appropriate.
I find that the pictures taken on my Canon digital camera are ideal for WS s/shows - they fill the screen without any "border". The pictures are 2048 x 1536. This is a width:height ratio of 1.333 (2048/1536 = 1.333).
However, if I take a picture in "portrait" mode (with the camera turned through 90 deg.) then the resulting image is 1536 x 2048, and in a WS s/show it will appear "tall and narrow" with a wide border on left and right. To "correct" this, I edit the image in PaintShop Pro. I use the Crop tool which displays (in the status bar) the width:height ratio of the crop selection. I make sure this is as close to 1.333 as possible.
By the way, I'm in a PAL (720x576) area. Perhaps an NTSC format would require a different ratio. But the principle must be the same.
