Background Image
- Saving the wallpaper images: The easiest way to do this is to drag the image from your browser to your desktop. If you have a two button mouse, right click on the image and select Save. Otherwise, hold "control" + click on the image, and then select Save from the popup menu. (Even if your browser calls the saving option something slightly different than "Save", the end result will be the same.) Next, select a place or directory on your hard drive in which to save the image file. I suggest that you place your images for the desktop in the Macintosh HD» Library» Desktop Pictures folder. You can actually save them anywhere you like, just be sure to remember where you put them.
- Opening your Desktop Preferences: Click on the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen, and select the menu item "System Preferences..." In the personal section of the preferences, choose "Desktop".
- Method 1: Drag the desired desktop image into the "Current Desktop Picture" area in the Desktop Preferences pane.
- Method 2: Select an image by choosing the pull down menu called "Collection:", selecting "Choose Folder", and then choose the folder in which you placed the background image. If your placed your image into Macintosh HD» Library» Desktop Pictures you will find that your image is already an icon which can be selected from among the pictures in the "Collection:", "Desktop Pictures". Once you select the icon, your desktop background will be changed.
