Are you showing the screensaver directly from an album in Photos?


There is currently a problem. when we are selecting album in Photos with photos, that have adjustments applied or are cropped or rotated, the screensaver will show not our adjusted version but the unmodified original So it will not help to rotate the photos upright. You have two options for work-arounds:

  1. Select the photos on Photos, then export them to a folder in your Pictures folder with the command "Fiel > Export > Export .. photos". Now use this folder as the source for the screensaver.
  2. Or export the photos as described above. Then import the adjusted photos back to Photos and replace the original versions in Photos by the adjusted versions.

You may also want to report this problem to photos and request a a bug fix using the feedback form: Apple - Photos - Feedback
