Wallpaper photos

Prior to Ventura, I could tell my Mac to centre photos, fit to screen and a few more options. I can't find these options anywhere in System settings>Wallpaper. They must be somewhere. Thanks for any help.

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

Wallpaper/screensaver “fit to screen” option? Ventura, 13.2 on my new Mac mini pro M2 and there’s no “fit to screen” for wallpaper north screensaver when selecting something from the photo library at the bottom, right of system, preferences; and defaults to fill screen, and only see part of any picture for desktop/wallpaper or screensaver when using anything from photo library. Anybody know how to fix this or change both to “fit to screen”? Have they really taken this option away? That’s been available since my 2011 iMac stuck on High Sierra. You can only select a single picture and right click and set as a desktop, and then you’ll get the options fit to screen, center, and fill screen. But select photo library, favorites, or some album to rotate through the pictures, option to fit to screen is no longer available, and you see a small portion of a picture blown up, which doesn’t look good.

Wallpaper cuts off image tops on new MacBook Air M2 2022 Other versions of MacBook Pro & Air allowed for centering an image or have a background for the images. Now this one shows very zoomed in versions of the image that leaves off everyone's head when I use my own photos as images. Since I'm letting it rotate through my favorites I'm not going to go through and resize every image to guess what the system will do with it and try to compensate. Is there any way to center or reduce what the OS does with them?

Where are Fill Screen, Fit to Screen, Stretch to Fill Screen, Center, and Tile for wallpapers? The HELP lies to me, so does the Apple instructions, they are not on the upper wallpaper settings. What did Apple do with these instructions for wallpapers. The old system settings always worked. Now they have screwed up the wallpaper instructions. Where do I tell macOS 13.4.1 how to display all wallpapers?

You have to select one of your photos...

Thanks so much for that. The longer since Saint Steve died, the less intuitive the Mac interface has become.
