Previously I have had an album in Photos which I set up to rotate to be my desktop wallpaper. Now with Ventura, and the change in the layout of the settings app, I can't choose all of my photo albums to use as a wallpaper, it only presents me with the option of the people albums and my shared albums. Anyone know why this might be

I had this same issue with Ventura. I wish it were made more obvious without having to trial and error, but albums containing images with unsupported file formats were similarly not appearing in the options within the drop down menu (Wallpaper > Add Photo Album). I needed to delete some photos in .RAW format, for example, and then the album was selectable/no longer grayed out.

if you scroll to the bottom of the setting do you see add Folder / add Photo album "drop down?"

I have 75 Albums of " People " and the all show as available
Best the user
1 - Give us a Screen shot of what is shown in " Wallpaper "
2 - Check in Photos Application and How may Albums are appearing in what categories
Suggest the user refer back to earlier reply from @leroydouglas and submitted a Bug Report
Exact same thing is happening to me. I initially could access all of my albums from the drop down menu in wallpaper , after I clean my computer with the "Clean my Mac" app I loss my wallpaper albums, however I need to say I have used the Clean my Mac app before and everything was normal. Also My albums that I can no longer access in wallpaper are still in my photo app???? anybody experience this and found a solution???
My situation is a little different. The missing or grayed out albums had been visible for a month at least and as I mentioned earlier after I used the Clean my Mac app the folders disappeared.....also I had used the Clean my Mac before a few times and it was fine.
Yes I’m able to see this but as I said it doesn’t give me the option of all of my albums only some of them
As you can see I can only see the shared albums I have and not any others
Where does the User keep their Photo Albums.
Are the kept within the Photos Application
Are they kept on an External Drive
all in the photos app
I've had a look through the album and only see I have a few .heif files not sure if these might be the problem but seems like most of the album is this format
Photo albums not showing in desktop wallpaper in Ventura
