How do you change your desktop on a macbook with Leopard?

Question

Hello! I tried to ask this question yesterday but the answers I received were far from helpful :(

I bought a Macbook last night and I want to change the Desktop picture to one of MY personal pictures. Not one of the choices they give you. I know you go to System Preferences, then Desktop/Wallpaper but then what?!

I had a Mac a few years ago with OS X as the operating system (I believe) and you used to be able to click and drag the picture of your choice on to the desktop. That doesn't seem to work now. PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

You must drag the image into iphoto first then it will appear inside system preferences. Or you can just click the photo on the internet and right click and choose use as desktop wallpaper

Answer 2

You go to system preferences and then desktop & screen savers and then you drag your picture into the frame with the desktop picture you have.

Answer 3

go into preferences desktop/screensaver

choose to import or use their choices
