Minor issue, just annoying, at the top of my login screen there is a black band of emptiness above my desktop photo. It goes away and appears normal after entering password, but would prefer to not have at all.
Thanks

It looks like you changed your system to use a different startup image -- this image needs to be the exact size of your screen I think. You can do this in Preview by opening image and click on Tools/Adjust size -- but you need to find the exact resolution of your screen first -- you can get that info from Displays in System Preferences and click on the "Scaled" option. Then place this new version of the image the same way that you did previously.
Good luck...

Thanks for the reply. I'm actually troubleshooting for my parents (don't we all). And before I put them (and me) through those steps, I have an inclination that's not the case. Below is a screenshot of the desktop after the login is complete. Same picture appears correctly. Given that the gray bars appear left and right on both the login and desktop screens, it would seem that scaling is not the problem. And you'll notice that on the login screen, the image is pushed off the bottom, we now see more foreground and road on the desktop.

Well, i see this image isn't the correct size to fill the screen (grey bars on right and left), so that tells me the aspect ratio of the original image is not the same as the screen, so it can't fill the entire screen. Follow my advice and see what happens.
Good luck...
I will try that tomorrow. While I agree the left and right grey bars would indicate a smaller than full-screen pic, it shouldn't be cutoff on the bottom in the login screen with a black bar on top. Pictures will usually be edge-to-edge with the bars left-right or top-bottom, not a combination of both, as shown in the second picture.
What are the dimensions of this pic in pixels?
I find some Desktop pics 4892*2718 & others as little as 2560*1200.
