Picasa collage style screen saver for MAC ?

Has anyone seen the screen saver that Google Picasa offers PC users that is called the Collage mode ?
What it does is when entering screen saver mode, instead of diplaying a traditional slide show with one pic after another, it begins this effect where the pictures start popping on - in a modified 4x6 aspect - and compositing over eachother in a random fashion thus creating a collage type effect.
It looks way cool !
So far, I can only ascertain that this 'collage mode screen saver' is a PC only option.
Does anyone know if this can be achieved on a mac ??
If so - please do tell.
Thanks
DB

Picasa is not currently available on the Mac - contact Google for information about any possible plan to provide it
I am not aware of a screen save like that but search MacFixit, version tracker and Apple downloads to see if you can find one

How Do I Create a Screen Saver for Mac

I need to create a screensaver for my mac OS 10.38. Can I use .SWF files to do this or a GIF? I tried dropping a .SWF movie into screensaver in Preferences but it didn't seem to work.
How can I animate a logo as a screen saver?

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
There are a few tools you can use. This page lists a couple. It looks like you can download a trial version and see if it'll do what you want. If not there's another one on that page.
If you're handy with programming, you can also create your own with Xcode. There's an article here that talks about it, though it's a bit old, and might be somewhat out of date.
But just dropping SWF files probably isn't going to work. A screen saver is a special kind of program...

Matrix Reloaded GL is a dinosaur software wise. Many many people report it is NOT compatible on Mountain Lion. Select a different screensaver, Matrix screensaver is not reliable or wont work at all on Mountain Lion OSX
** I found an update for you that claims that this patch now makes it work on mountain Lion, I havent tested it , but here it is:

How do I create a 20x30 JPEG custom photo collage in LR 5 for Mac?

Hello - I am trying to create a custom layout for a 50th anniversary collage in LR 5 for Mac. However, my page setup only includes print sizes that are compatible with my printer. I plan to save this layout in JPEG to be uploaded to a photo finishing company. I want to start with the large-size canvas but I can't figure out how to do it. I will not be using any of the installed templates. I plan to organize the photos one by one in a custom way. Can this be done in large format?

What about OSX 10.11 "El Capitian"?
In the last few weeks I've seen some folks asking about 10.11, which is currently available as a pre-release. At the moment, SAV 9.2.7 *should* work if SAV is already installed before you upgrade, but the install will fail if you attempt to install a fresh copy post-upgrade. That said, we'll be releasing another update for SAV prior to the official release of 10.11 "El Capitain" which will ensure full compatibility, so at the moment we recommend upgrading with caution.
Questions? Feedback on SAV 9.2.7?
Post it here and we'll get back to you ASAP!

How do I use album artowrk as a screen saver for atv gen2?

You'll need to create an album of your music artwork in iPhoto, the Apple TV doesn't have the facility to use album art in a screensaver.

Can I make a static screen saver for an LCD screen?

Can I make a static screen saver for an LCD screen? In researching screensavers the other day, I read an article saying that moving images were no longer necessary since that was important for cathode monitors and LEDs have no such problems but the iMacs are LCD. Do LCD get "Burn in"?
I need to know as I am making wallpaper and screensvers for the company I work at.

LCD's normally are not affected by any burn in, just use the computer. It's a wise idea to put the display to sleep when it's not in use. You can set the setting in System Preferences - Energy Saver. I set my display to sleep after 15 minutes of not being used and it goes black, I've done this for 8+ years and have never had any display issues.

Is it possible to completely disable Collage in screen saver.

Apple provides some beautiful shots for Screen Saver (SS) Nature Cosmos Forest ect. I also have some of my own shot also in there. When the SS starts and they are presented Square on to the Display I am a happy camper. I have gone through the settings for each one to make sure that they all will be presented that way. But every so often for what seems to be a random act they present themselves in the collage form of display. By the same token will go back to the square on display. Will someone who knows shed some light on this. I do not particularly like the collage format. I run an iMac 22 " 2.4 Ghz 2 gig Ram 10.6.2. I am ----Heiner Toelle

Is there a way to have snap to functionality on the ipad3 apps screen like for MAC and win7?

Researching ipad3 and snap to functionality, similiar to that found on MACs and PCs using WIN7. Searched the web but I did not find anything specific to the ipad.

Demo, snap is essentially having 2 apps open side by side on the screen. You always could in windows, and can on a mac. The snap term makes it easier, there is a mouse click deal that will put them side by side.
I knew that it would expose my ignorance!
I've been running four and five apps at a time on on one screen on my Macs for years but had no clue that there was a mouse click command to do this.
After a quick Google search - I have discovered something new and I see what I have been missing. Thanks to you guys, now I know. I will have to look into this Snap thing.

Is it possible to disable the screen saver for a certain app?

Is it possible to disable the screen saver just while a certain application is running?
The app seems to crash when the screen saver comes on.
Just so you know, application I'm using is Hogwasher; a newsgroup reader.

Not really. Just disable it manually when you run that application. Then, send off a bug report to the app's developer and tell him to update it for the latest Tiger. Alternatively, use another newsgroup reader.

Screen Saver for Vizio Smart TV App

I recently purchased a Vizio Smart TV and immediately downloaded the Spotify application for it, since I can easily stream to my sound system from it. One thing that I would like to see added to the TV application would be a screen saver function. Screen burn is a big concern for a lot of people and simply adding a moving spotify logo could negate this concern.

Rotating text messages on Screen Saver for disabled person?

I have an iMac set up in my mum's living room, she has dementia and I use the computer to speak to her using Facetime and Skype.
I would like to be able to place rotating messages on the screensaver (in large font) to remind her of things e.g. when her shopping is due, with my phone number. I assume this is not possible with OS X, but is there an application that will allow me to do this i.e. rotating messages on screen saver with control of font size?
Thanks in advance

There's no completely simple way to do this but there's one way I can think of that doesn't require advanced geeking:
1. Set up a cloud service such as Dropbox or Google Drive so it runs on her computer and on your computer.
2. On her computer, set the screen saver to use PICTURES from a specific folder only, with whatever effect you like. Choose a folder that's inside the Dropbox or whatever that you set up.
3. Now you can create pictures yourself and put them inside that folder and know that they'll display on your Mum's screen saver. You can choose whatever font and colours and whatever that you want to use for each message.
43 Just make sure that you delete messages once you don't need them anymore, and that that folder only ever has one picture in it - less confusing. You'll probably want a default picture to put in there when there are no other messages, I'm not sure what would happen if the screen saver points to an empty folder.
This isn't the only way to solve the problem but it's probably the simplest.

Screen saver and .mac or mobileme

I just upgraded to 10.5.4 and am trying to set up my screen saver to look at a gallery on my .mac(mobileme) account. But when I enter my username...ssssss it says that I don't have any pictures available. Suggestions? Thanks....

I spent 4 hours with mobileme chat over the weekend and was not able to solve the problem on my MacBook Pro at my vacation location. They wanted me to test it at home where I have an Airport Extreme and an Alu iMac. ....The outcome..the same...I can not connect.. so I will be getting back to them today or tomorrow...
