getting a 10bit heic wallpaper from another model/version of MacBook

so, I found a wallpaper that I really like but it seems that Apple has only provided the blue version of it on certain devices and mac os versions. so I got it off of the internet. but, I couldn't find a 10-bit high-quality heic copy of it anywhere. so I downloaded one that looks similar in the sittings hoping to find it in /system/library/desktop pictures and then edit it using Lightroom or something. but it looks like Mac doesn't save downloaded wallpapers in the same folder as the built-in ones.


So, if one of you guys has that picture in 10-bit heic or as a built-in wallpaper in the previously mentioned directory, I'll be very grateful if you could send it to me. or if anyone knows where I could find it.

Thanks a lot! ❤️

There are on your 3 Libraries in macOS; you do not have r/w privileges to the /System



try again drag & drop into the /Library/Desktop Pictures


In Finder>Go>Go to Folder copy and paste:

/Library/Desktop Pictures
