Unless you are using multiple transitions, I don't see how they can be more consistent. Did you check your theme transition.static_trans and transition.resize_trans?
<static_trans options="motionmove,motionmask,blockmask,tint,white,fade">fade</static_trans>
<resize_trans options="tint,white">white</resize_trans>
For transitions between images the same size(static_trans), there are several options. For transitions between images at different size, there are only a couple of options.
Why? Because in a transition between images at different sizes, to make the transition smooth and seamless, it first needs to fade out the images into the frame background color before it resizes the frame. This basically means a fade-to-white. Try setting your static_trans to only "white", and see if it looks more consistent.
If you have any other suggestions, I am all ears.
