Leopard Screensaver

Question

I'm using PS CS 3 & OS 10.5.4. When I try to use screensaver in the "slide show" display option, the portrait orientation photos display horizontally. I checked the Apple Discussion groups first and was told to re-save everything making sure it was displaying the proper orientation. Supposedly this would correct the metadata file.
So I opened every portrait image in PS and re-saved it. No dice. Today I called Apple support and they said I would need to re-save in either Preview or iPhoto.
Instead of starting all over again, does anyone have any suggestions?

Answer 1

For ScreenSavers you need to save as JPEGs but your Monitor is almost certainly in landscape format. (A few monitors do allow you to re-orient them and mount them in Portrait format.)
If you want to use Portrait-format images as ScreenSavers you may find that you need to save each image as a landscape shape (1024 x 768 pixels RGB JPEGs) with your photograph centered on a colored or textured background.
(I have not tried using portrait-oriented images as screen-savers so this is just a guess and you will have to experiment to see what works.)
The JPEGs that I have used as screen-savers have always been created in Photoshop and never in either Preview or iPhoto.
