Multiple pictures on one slide

I've seen presentations that have one picture appear and then a few seconds later another appears on the other side of the screen. How is this done?

Easy with version 5 beta. You can reduce the size of images to have as many as you wish appear on the screen at any time. You can make them appear, disappear, fade, spin, rotate, etc., etc., etc. You can also use masks easily created with Photoshop to have special effects and zoom or scroll within a windowed area. Many of these masks have been created and donated by theDom and are available on his site for download.

Your imagination is the only limitation in creativity with PicturesToExe 5.0 beta. I would suggest going to theDom's site and downloading and studying the many tutorials and looking at samples so you can learn the numerous ways to accomplish these effects.

Just as a brief example, you could use a mask which has two rectangular cut-outs side by side. This mask resides on one layer at 100% opacity. On the layer behind you have two images, one set to 100% opacity, the other set to zero opacity. Over time (let's use 30 seconds), you set a keypoint at perhaps 14 seconds to zero opacity for the second image. Then at 15 seconds you change the opacity for that image to 100%. The starting point of zero opacity hides the second image, the second keypoint at 14 seconds set to zero opacity keeps the image hidden and it begins to appear and fades completely in because the opacity is set to 100% at a keypoint at 15 seconds. Now you have two images side by side which if nothing else is done will continue to display for another 15 seconds.
