Nearly every Mac graphics program has a slideshow capability. In order to give you a proper answer, we need to know more about what the goal of the slideshow is. Do you want music? Do you want hands-off? Do you want a repeating loop?
For very basic slideshows, you could download and use the free Phoenix Slides (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/18735/phoenix-slides). The Mac's included Preview application also has a very powerful slideshow capability. Various Office suites (Libre, OpenOffice) also have slideshow features. Lightroom has a slideshow, but it isn't the only one. You have plenty from which to choose.

Have used IPhoto slide program with Ken Burns effect and music. Am thinking there might be a program with better resolution and more accurate capturing of color.

LR 5 is a basic slide show and you can add music
But, one of its frustrations, is that you can only add one song. So it plays over and over on longer shows.
If someone knows otherwise please chime in.

ProShow Gold is the gold standard. LR5 is basic with many limitations that PSG does not have. Costs you though, but there is a 30 day trial.

I believe in Apple Quick time you can connect multiple tracks to give you more time

The trick is to use an audio editor (Audacity will work - freebie) to create an mp3 file that is the length that is required for the slide show. That way, one can combine different types of music to match the photos.

For those wanting to investigate this program, please note that it's called "FotoMagico."

Stand corrected, yes it is called FotoMagico. ProShow Gold is also good but cannot be used on a Mac.

I will have to look into that as I did like using it when I had my PC. They had told me the program was not available for the mac.
