Photo albums not showing in desktop wallpaper in Ventura

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

>System Settings>WallPaper

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

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.

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

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.

Where does the User keep their Photo Albums.

Are the kept within the Photos Application

Are they kept on an External Drive

Suggest the user refer back to earlier reply from @leroydouglas and submitted a Bug Report
