I want to make a photo scroll across the screen continuously so there is no
gap in between and loops around until you select the next slide
 
Here is a sample that I have created:

The simplest way is to have the picture equal to the length of the slide.
Then, make a duplicate and place it at the side of the orignal picture. Group
them up, then add a motion path to it.

As Tohlz says you can (sort of) get this effect with two pictures and a
repeating motion path. BUT ....

Unless you have a powerful PC / graphics card it may be a jerky motion
Unless you have designed the photo to be a 360 panorama the "join" may be
unconvincing

Sometimes panning left then right is more convincing with a photo much wider
than the screen

Did that answer the question / help?

You should be able to resolve this by turning on the "Enable Hardware
Graphics Acceleration" in Slide Show > Set Up Show. This feature requires
that your video card that supports Microsoft Direct 3D though.

You will need to trial and error. Probably testing out with the motion path
to get an accurate result. Uploaded sample here:

I was assuming skittles was trying to scroll a single photo rather than a set
of photos. I have managed to make 360 deg panoramas by stitching together
several pictures (using canon photostitch) and pan around them!
