Photo Booth custom backgrounds are gone!

Hello!

I used to make awesome video presentations with custom backgrounds on Photo Booth, but I recently updated my MacBook Pro to macOS Catalina, which for no reason deleted this functionality.

How long will the functionality be gone for? Is there any trick to get it back from hidden files?

Thank you,

Desktop Photos On an iMac Catalina how does one change the desktop backgrounds to a rotating series of photos from Photos. Previously I could have the desktop background rotating through an album but now I can only set one photo or I have to leave a number on the desktop which is messy!

Need recommendation for a photo background eraser app Can you please recommend a simple, low-cost editing app that erases background people / objects that I can use with my Photos app / library? I have a 27" iMac and am on Ventura 13.3.1. Thank you, HDP11

Default Wallpaper Options and the Jump to Big Sur So today I finally made the jump to Big Sur. I noticed immediately that my wallpaper had been changed to a default. No problem, went to go change it back to the default that I had it on before (it was one of those really high definition flowers from the Catalina OS default wallpapers) only to find that those are gone and completely out of my grasp. I can't find a good enough quality copy on the internet, so I thought I would check here: Does anyone have those default flower backgrounds from Catalina? Can you upload or send them to me (specifically at the resolution to fit the 13 inch MacBook Pro)? Don't get me wrong, the new ones are fine but...I was really vibing with those flowers. Any help is much appreciated - I can't begin enjoying Big Sur until this seemingly small issue is fixed for me, it bothers me severely.

Bummer, you're right. Tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored or new features added via Feedback - macOS - Apple
