I assume you meant where on the planet, not in your file system.

Hey everybody! Does anyone know where that amazing canyon is? I can’t seem to find any information about it.
Thanks a lot!

I finally found them!

They are in Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.Framework/Versions/A/Resources/Default Collections

Here, you have the 4 Sources that appear on the Screen Saver Preference Pane.
And for the little “trick” you can add images to one of these default sources and the new pictures will be used when this source is chosen.

I’d like to be able to use my photostream as a source for my Mac screensavers. Anyone have any ideas on how to pull that off?

and you could not choose sub-folders of photos with Mountain Lion rather than it is located into iPhoto…

I too would love to use some of them as my desktop. Where are those files located?

-begin rant

I had some really great screen savers – one was rippling water over the desktop. Another was a PURE black screen (yes, I know I can change my desktop to black but it still leaves the menu bar).

Too many restrictions going on here. As an Apple user since 1983, I am very disappointed with the direction things are going. I also know there isn’t anything better.

I don’t like an OS that does everything but wipe my okolee.

-end rant

BTW, I do like the screen saver. I just wish I could use my old ones, too.

Thank you. These screen savers are a welcome addition to the previous ones.

One question though : Do you have the canyon photo we see one your first screenshot ? Apple uses it for the Retina MacBook Pro on its website but I don’t have it in Mountain Lion. I think he is beautiful, but can’t find it =/
