MacOs screensaver - shows original photo from Photos - not showing edited photos

This problem has been around for a while and still not fixed in Ventura.

If I select a Photos album in the screen saver it plays the original, unedited versions of photos.

This is not the required behaviour.

Sonoma Screensaver: No show of photos from Photos App In the Sonoma OS Release I miss VERY MUCH the Screensaver showing my (randomly appearing) photos from the Photos App media library. During short breaks in front of my Mac, I thoroughly enjoyed the random images from my wonderful life. An older Screensaver version was even much better, because it was possible to stop the flow of pictures and scroll them back for review an identification. APPLE, please give me a hint how I could get back this function!

Photo Album Screensaver Only Shows Unedited Photos I've tried to find an answer to this for ages but never seem to find a solution. I have many albums in Photos that contain cropped and/or color edited photos (for example, a photo taken on may iPhone in color is later edited to black and white). When I view these pictures in Photos, of course they reflect the edits I've applied. When I select an album in Photos for use as a Screensaver, however, the screensaver playback does not show the edited pictures. It only reflects the original, unedited picture. I've experienced this issue over the last couple of years, it's carried through on system updates, and I've been unable to find a solution online. I'm currently running Ventura 13.0.1 on a 2020 13" M1 MacBook Pro. I've also experienced this on my old 2013 27" iMac (still running Catalina). Has anyone else experienced this or is able to confirm they're in the same situation? I'm at a loss on how to proceed. Below are a couple examples of "edited" pictures that should show up the same on the screen saver, but when the screen saver comes on, they show up in full color with the original iPhone default aspect ratio.
