A screensaver can be comprised of images you select from your iPhoto library and the true benefit to having a screensaver is not only can you see your favorite photos randomly changing across your monitor, you can also prevent a phenomenon known as burn-in. Now, this is particularly true of older monitors and just to give you an example, I'm going to zoom in on this image here and let's just say that for like three or four days straight you just had this image on your screen and nothing moved. No pixels at all moved. Well, some monitors will have a portion of the pixels burn-in the image so you would see like this red part for the ship and when you moved to something else, you would still see the ship. It would be kind of ghosted in to your monitor. The same phenomenon happens when you are watching network TV and, for example, you see the log of the station and based on the color, like for example, if it's red, it could also burn into your monitor because that part of the monitor is not moving. You might be watching a football game and everybody's moving around, but that station identifier stays right there. So that is called burn-in. Now, we can prevent that, of course, by creating a screensaver and there's two ways to do this. We can go to the share menu and choose set desktop and what happens is it opens up your system preferences. Likewise, you can go to the Apple menu and then choose system preferences from right here and then when you get here, you choose this button, desktop and screensaver. Then you'll notice that on the list here you have your iPhoto albums all arranged nice and neat for you and you can choose the screensaver that you'd like to use. For example, I can choose, let's say my Kid Caramel screens from my animation and then I could set a time for the start, for example 15 minutes of inactivity, five minutes of inactivity, an hour or never, which will make sure the screensaver doesn't happen at all. I normally keep it on 15 to 30 minutes and then what I can do is I can click on options and I can decide how I'd like this screensaver to appear. So I can choose to present the slides in a random order. I can have a cross-fade transition between the slides as one slide goes in and out. I can have them zoom back and forth. I can crop the slides to fit on screen and I can keep them centered. So you can play around with those options and see what they do for you. I can also them click test and see what happens with the screensaver. But you don't really have to do that because you can see it right here in this little preview pane. Once you've done that, you can then choose to close this window and in 15 minutes, whatever you've selected will play as your screensaver until you return to the screensaver in the preferences and change the time or you change any of your options or you may even change your album, which is kind of cool as well. Likewise, what you could do is choose to use a random screensaver. So your computer will look at all of your photos and all the images that even come with your computer when you first purchase it and then choose on its own what it's going to play for you.
