How do I add my own photos to screensaver? Can someone point me to an article that explains how to add your own pictures or photos to SysPrefs/Screensaver in High Sierra? I remember I could do that in Yosemite, but I've forgotten how. (Saw an article saying Click on the + button in Screensaver. I found the + button for Desktop but not for Screensaver.) Thanks for any information!

Where to Find Apple Screensaver Images? Where are all the Apple screensaver images on Big Sur? I can see the formats to choose, but all that beautiful content has disappeared from the systems preferences Desktop/Screensaver link. Why in the world would someone think that was a good idea? Or to remove the option to add your own images from the page. I am sure the stuff is now somewhere, but why make it harder and more complicated? Just another example of someone thinking they have to mess with something that isn't broken.

After downloading Monteray, WHY cannot use my own images as my screensaver...? I cannot use my own images as my screensaver! Are you EVER going to fix that bug in Monteray?? I’m ready to wipe my Mac clean and re-install Big Sur. Please FIX the issue. It should not have been released until all bugs/software an issues were tested.
