Photo wall pictures, on screen saver, are dark

The photo wall that I use for a screen saver shows the pictures very dark which is not what they look like in Photos. I can't find a setting to adjust the contrast for the photo wall.

Can you change the background of the Photos edit screen from black to white? When I go from viewing a picture to editing the background changes to black. On some images it is easier to get the white balance correct with a white background. Can i change the background color in edit screen from black to white? I'm using the latest version of Photos.

Photos app enhances images while exports are dull I took a photo at night of a light-up pool float. When viewed in the Photos app on my Macbook Pro or iPhone, the image looks crisp and vibrant. When I export or drag it to a folder and then view it with Preview, the image looks dull or washed out. I've even tried viewing it from an image editor and it still looks dull. However, if I reimport the dull exported photo into the Photos app, it looks as good as the original vibrant image. The Photos app is performing some sort of viewing enhancement which is being lost on export. Maybe this is normal and the Photos app uses an exclusive color profile for displaying images, but you would think photos viewed in different apps on the same device would look the same, no?

Photo mark up in dark mode Since iOS17, when I edit a photo it goes into dark mode. Makes it very difficult to see the mark-up tool bar tools

FWIW, there is no brightness/contrast setting for screen savers.

Try booting into Safe Mode then restart normally. Sometimes that will fix anomalies.
