Has any body had experience with them? Using Epson V500 scanner to scan into LR5.6 -- want to resize to be used in slideshow for a wedding --- do all pics have to be same size as I will also be scanning in 4x6 and converting slides to jpeg. I am not a professional just a Dad running slideshow in the background during the reception or do I need a pro.

You get what you put in. If all different sizes, they will play in the slide show and the different sizes will be evident.

When is the wedding?

Depends on the program you are using to create the slideshow. I use Proshow by Photodex and it resizes the pictures to all be uniform.

How does it do that without changing perspective or cropping part of the photo? Just curious.

Pro Show does not enlarge small photos to fit. It takes large photos and resizes them down to fit. If you have a small photo it stays small and the background fills in the blanks.

It appears to find a middle ground. I don't really know how it works and have never researched it, but I have had some small photos submitted to me to include in presentations and they are enlarged to the point of being unrecognizable.

I actually talked with a rep at Pro show. Pro show accepts the large photos as they are. It also accepts the small ones as they are. When it outputs the show to your desired publication it then resizes the photos according to the output program. In other words, if you output to a DVD it resizes the photos to 720X480. If you output to a Blu-Ray it sizes them quite a bit larger. So, if you have images that are smaller then the output required it enlarges them. Small images might enlarge to the 720X480 just fine, but not to the blu-ray size. So the size of your images is dependant on the output size required. Always best to have larger files for the program.
