Hello VAivars1,

Thanks for reaching out through the Apple Support Communities about your screen saver photos no longer being displayed in the expected orientation.

Does that continue if you temporarily change to a different screen saver? Change Screen Saver preferences on Mac

How about after restarting your Mac?

If so, you’d want to reach out to Apple Support to get further assistance: Contact - Official Apple Support

Hopefully that puts you on the path to getting that addressed.

Take care.

No other apple screensaver uses Photos pictures. So I can no do that.

Restart no help.

Apple has know of this for years based on user questions and comments.

Only known solution is:

Select Photos Pictures you want into an album.

(I used a smart album named screensaver to collect the wanted dates, exclude hidden & videos, etc.)

Export all of that album to the Desktop.

(This sends edited and properly rotated pictures to the Desktop album. )

(I did 13000 pictures overnight - no problem.)

Use screensaver preferences to apply the pictures in the Desktop Album. (I labeled mine Exported Screensaver.)
