How do I put personal photos as my desktop. They currently live in one album in Photo. Thanks
iMac with Retina 5K display, iOS 11.1
The problem, I think, is that Migration Assistant moved the pix from the MacBook to the iMac where they appear as iPhoto events. Creating folder Desktop in Photo reveals the pix but they aren't available in Desktop & Screen Saver nor can I drag/drop the folder into Desktop & Screen Saver.
The Photos library will not show up in the Desktop preference pane if it is not designated the System Photo Library:
So make sure your library is so designated. The the Photos library will show up in the Desktop pane:
go to
>System Preferences/Desktop & Screen Savers
click the Desktop tab
if you don't see the images you are looking for click "+" to browse to another folder.
can you copy them directly out of the photos.app to the Photos folder in the users folder?
