how to put a new screensaver of my photos into a MAC 15.6.1

The option to select a folder as the source is now hidden away.

Once you have selected the "Photos" screensaver in "Others", click "Options", and at the bottom of the Options you will find an option to specify the Source of the photos. Here you can select a folder with image files.

It is better to export the screensaver photos to folders and not to use an album in Photos, because of the bug, that Photos will use the originals in the screensaver and not the edited versions.

Have a look here Use photos as your screen saver on Mac - Apple Support (IE)

Hello

I have a new iMac 24" using 15.6.1 and can not find how to use a folder of my own photos from iPhoto as a screensaverI

TIA for any help

re: Photos.app

You can try creating a standalone folder with a few select images and compare your results if you are having an issue.

When I see a dark cloud rising I am looking for a silver lining.😄

But it should definitely be easier to use our own photos, artwork, and music in the user interface on our Macs and mobile devices, just in the way we have edited and cropped them. It is taking the fun out of taking photos and making music, when we are limited to the suggestions presented by Apple's AI. Apple is investing so much work in making our devices smarter, that it is getting harder and harder to use our own creativity and artistic taste.

That is so weird-- I remember hunting around for ages before finding that place!

It is not even described in the user guide in detail. We have to discover it on our own.

Apple is keeping us on our toes, so we don't get rusty 😀

I knew you'd find the positive side!

That is good news, Richard. The last time I tested on sequoia the screensaver in Photos some Photos were still upside down or the retouch has been missing.

Great! léonie and I were pleased to be of help!

She showed you in an earlier post, which now should be at the top of this thread. Go to System Settinsg and search for Screensaver, then go to the bottom and choose Photos, as she showed earlier. Then jump back up to the top to Photos>Options where you can, finally, pick Choose Folder.

Then you can navigate through your folders.

I think that the bug that léonie mentioned about choices from the Photos Library only using the Originals rather than the edited versions has been fixed. I'm now using a Photos album rather than a Finder folder for screensaver images.
