I've found a workaround: I opened the pic in Photos, took a photo of it with my phone so that is good enough for my purpose. I would still like to know how to do it if there is another way.

this is an iPhone question...(?)

I might be missing something but, if the image is in Photos on your Mac, it should be in Photos on your iPhone. Unless of course your iPhone isn't linked to iCloud or you are using two different Apple IDs.

AirDrop, Text or email the picture to your self. Open it on your iPhone and save to your library. From there it's simple to dd it as a wallpaper for your phone.

Personally, I prefer AirDrop/

On your Mac drag and drop the edited photo into photos wait for your iCloud photos to sync if you are on low power mode turn that of, then open the wallpaper tab in settings, then choose your edited photo to be your wallpaper.😀

As I mentioned, if the edited version was in Photos. 😎

Since they're not, AirDrop is certainly easiest.

LOL...I'm just impressed your iPhone 6S is still operational!

Hmmm. To set the wallpaper from Photos only involves opening Settings > Wallpaper and choosing which image to use. Not sure how AirDrop is better.
