On my 27inch 2019 Intel iMac running Ventura 13.3.1 (a), I set up a screen saver which shows the photos from one of my albums on Apple Photos. It mostly works, but just sometimes, a photo appears on its side or upside down! Looking at the original album, all the photo orientations are correct. Is there any way to correct this?

I'm used to bugs in software, but now we have to get used to a program having a mind of its own - I guess that's the AI revolution. Nevertheless in this case, I think it's a bug. Perhaps something to do with the edit status of the original photo. Who knows? I know it's not important, but it would be nice to crack it.
The screensaver is currently showing the unmodified originals, not the edited versions. I suspect, you have taken the photo in portrait orientation and have rotated it in Photos, but the screensaver is currently ignoring all edits. To fix this, you would have to export the photo with the rotation applied, then reimport it and use the reimported photo for your screensaver.
This bug (or unfortunate feature) has been around since macOS 11 Bug Sur. I hope, it will be fixed soon.
To use my photos in in the screensaver as I have adjusted them I am currently exporting them to a folder on the Desktop and using this folder as the source of the screensaver.
Thanks! Excellent answer! I can follow you in creating a set of pictures in a folder. Strange bug - you'd think it would be easy to fix.
I think it's just a matter of artistic expression on the part of the programmer. After all, they serve no real purpose other than to look cute.
Let us know when you do.
Why does Screen Saver on Ventura change the orientation of some photos?
