Using the Photo Screen Saver

which allows custom photos or images to be displayed whenever the screen saver is activated.

Photo Image Requirements

current video format (4x3 or 16x9) to reach the top/bottom or sides of the screen. FireBall
automatically reserves 2% of the total hard drive capacity for the Photos volume.
Photos can be any size however,
720x480 72dpi to fill the entire screen when the video format is set to 4x3
640x360 72dpi to fill the entire screen when the video format is set to 16x9
File size must be less than 500K bytes for each file
jpg, gif, or png formats are supported
