Why is my iMac not displaying the changed wallpaper?

Since the last update this morning I cannot change my wallpaper on my iMac. It shows the picture in Settings under both Display and Wallpaper but not on the actual desktop. I have not changed the location of the picture or the folder.

Hi Tiff, had the same issue!


Take a look at the format of the picture, it seems that your wallpaper needs to be a jpeg.
