Create a Screen Saver with Your Digital Photos

Though digital photography has done wonders for increasing the quality (and number) of the photos we take today, we seem to see less of the photos we actually take. Usually that's because we store them away on our hard drives and go off to take more, printing only a very small number of them for display.
One of the easiest ways to see more of your snapshots is to incorporate them into a screen saver, which will display a large number of them whenever your computer is idle. As is so often the case today, this is where Google* comes in.

Google Photos Screensaver*

Google is largely known as a search engine, but has expanded to include a large assortment of computer applications. Google Photos Screensaver is a free application that comes bundled together with several other free programs in a Google Pack. With a few clicks, you can display your photos in a slide show as a screen saver.
(Note: The following instructions are for Windows* users, but the sequence is pretty similar if you're using a Mac* OS.)
Once installed, Google Photos Screensaver will display all the digital photos on your computer. You can also personalize your screen saver to display a select group.

• Type http://pack.google.com/screensaver.html into your browser (i.e., Internet Explorer*, Mozilla Firefox*, Safari*)
• Click the Settings button and uncheck any options you do not want
• Click on the Configure button for each image you would like to incorporate into your screen saver
• Adjust the way the photos appear by clicking on the drop-down menu under Visual Effect and try the various filters until you find one you prefer. You will see a preview of the screen saver on the left
• Modify the transitions between pictures by use your mouse to move the marker to the time desired
• Uncheck the box Show Captions if you do not want to see them
• Click OK.
• Open the display properties by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting Properties. You can also access it from the Control Panel by clicking on Appearance and Themes and then Display.

Now sit back, wait and watch. In a matter of moments, you will get to see your newly created screen saver with your selected digital photos.
