Did you know that there are several cool ways to view your photo library as a screen saver in Mac OSX? There are several new ways to display your photos with the recent upgrade to Leopard.
First, open System Preferences and select Desktop & Screen Saver. Once you choose the Screen Saver tab, click on the Library option (or any photo album of your choice).
Notice the three buttons above the Display Style. These options are for Slideshow, Collage, and Mosaic.
Slideshow is the standard photo slideshow you would expect with a photo screen saver. The photos are displayed randomly with a fading transition in between.
Collage is a more visually appealing way to view your photo library. Randomly selected photos drop onto your screen like photos thrown onto a desk. Multiple photos can be seen as they pile up on the desktop.
The Mosaic option is my personal favorite. It starts with one photo being displayed on the screen. As the view pans out, other photos can be seen. As more and more photos fill the screen, they start to form an image of their own. Eventually, a photo from your library can be seen as it is composed using your entire photo library. When the image can be seen, the display pauses, only to continue by creating another photo.
These cool photo screen savers will allow you to enjoy your photo library while on a break in a way that is different from the ordinary. But be careful… with the Mosaic mode enabled you will find yourself staring at your screen as your photos are assembled before your eyes.
