I currently use pics that I've taken with my digital camera as my desktop wallpaper. Every minute it changes to a different image. Problem is that the pictures sometimes changes size automatically, which makes it appear slightly distorted in that it appears larger than it normally should. Has anyone else seen this problem and if so, is there a fix for it???

Thanks

If you have your desktop set to "Stretch to Fille Screen" and you have a widescreen display, you will have very visible distortion. Set it to Fill screen (or Center) and just deal with the edges (set a pleasent background color). The other option is to artificially increase the resolution of your images and crop them to the correct resolution of your screen.

Go into 'System Preferences' > 'Desktop and Screen Saver', click on Screen Saver and then the 'Options' button. Try unchecking 'Zoom back and forth' and see if that fixes it.
