My photos are stored in folders (not Photos albums). In Screen Saver, Snapshots shows photos partial screen. I want full screen. Scrapbook shows only a black screen. No photos appear. They used to. Yesterday this suddenly changed and I don't know why.
What I want is Screen Saver to show my own photos full screen, not at reduced size. Ventura seems quite different than previous Mac OS.
iMac 27″, macOS 13.3

Can you verify your software is up to date…
The current stable release of Ventura including bug fixes, security updates is macOS Ventura 13.4
Keep your Mac up to date - Apple Support
Keep your Mac up to date - Apple Support
Current OS is 13.3.1. Have not had time yet to the latest update.
Dialabrain below says that Snapshots and Scrapbook screen savers are no longer supported.
If no longer supported, why do their menu choices still appear in Screen Saver? And why would Apple do away with these?
I run the update later today when I have to run an errant.

They would still appear if you kept migrating them over. They are not a choice with a fresh install of Ventura.
Just to add, we can't answer why Apple did something questions, We are all fellow users like yourself.
Here are the screen savers included with Ventura. You might try "Classic".
Edit: Electric Sheep is not included. I added that.
Thank You!
You hit the nail square on the head. I saw an Apple picture with the Classic caption underneath and did not realize that I can link to my own directories of photos. That is what I am used to. I just did not recognize it.
FWIW, the Snapshots and Scrapbook screen savers haven't been supported since Yosemite 10.10.
You're welcome.
Full Screen Screen Saver my own photos?
