Can't locate wallpaper photo

Hi. I have a photo as wallpaper on my desktop that I simply cannot find the file for anywhere on my hard drive or elsewhere. It's not in iPhoto, my Pictures folder, or anywhere else that I can discern in my home/user folder.

When I go to System Preferences -> Desktop, it isn't in any of the folders that it lets me chose from. The thing is, I really want to keep a decent res copy of this picture. I just can't locate it. It has to be somewhere in order for the OS to be accessing it as wallpaper, right?

Can anyone provide some insight?

Thanks in advance.

You might want to start your own post since this one is from last year. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one. Please provide more specifics on what was done and your problem.
