yes, of course there are effects which are part of iMovie and are not a part of iPhoto but it takes time to work in effects and more so how much time you have is what will determine what you do with the 250 photos I'd suggest sticking to iPhoto and getting the job done then, if you want to do more later, you can but I'd bet the first project is the final project those watching a slide show want to see the photos, not whiz-bang effects....
