Changing the Desktop Image

Now that you have a L4L Macbook and you have played with it for awhile. It may be time to customize it to appeal to your taste. Macs allow you to select any image as your desktop. The higher the resolution the better your desktop will look. There are thousands of sites that offer "free" high resolution images formatted to the size of your computer screen. Your Macbook has a native resolution of 1440x900. Therefore, you want to find images that size so that they look good on your desktop. A good place to start is InterfaceLIFT.
This site has thousands of high-resolution images from photographers and artists that you can save to your computer. The link that I provided will take you to the first page of the site that has is formatted for the Macbook screen size. When you are ready to select an image, just click on download and the image will load on another screen.
Now you have two choices. Right click on the image and select "set as desktop Background." Or, if you want to create a collection of images, "save image as.." will allow you to store in a location you choose. You could create a sub-directory in Pictures if you like. You have many other choices for your desk. By default, when you enter "Change Desktop Background" (right click on a blank portion of your desktop) you will see options to select photos from IPhoto. Changing the desktop works in almost the same way as it does on a Windows computer. Have fun, be creative.
