Best Answer

The desktop picture is controlled in the System Preferences pane.

Open System Preferences.

Click 'Desktop and Screen Saver'

Click the 'Desktop' tab

Select or drag a new picture to the image of the desktop.

It is possible to create a new folder for your desktop pictures there. In the left pane click the + sign, select or create a new folder at a location of your choosing. Copy your favorite desktop pictures into that folder using the Finder.

Later when you open Desktop and Screen Saver/Desktop you will see your folder and when you click on it you will see all the pictures it contains. Click on the one you want.

If you use multiple screens, you can drag the Desktop and Screen Saver window to another desktop and change its picture too. You don't need to close and reopen Desktop and Screen Saver pane each time.
