Have you ever wished that you could export your desktop wallpaper that comes with OSX and use it on a different type device such as IOS devices, or maybe on a Windows machine etc? Though this tip won't include how to actually change the wallpaper on these devices, here's how to get in OSX, regardless the version to those jpg files being used for the native wallpapers so that you can export them elseware for use.

1.  From your Finder, hit command+shift+G.

2.  In the open folder box, type:  /Library

Notice that this is not your user library, this is the library in the root of your Macintosh HD. Also notice that the L in the word library is capitalized, and the rest in lower case.

3.  Once the library folder is opened, navigate to Desktop Pictures.

Boom!  There you go!  All your wallpaper jpg files are right there.

Now, just copy whatever jpg files out of here you need, and you're good to go. Then when changing your Wallpaper, just point whatever device you're using to that jpg file, and there you have it. All done!

I hope someone like myself can find this tip useful. If not, sorry for posting.

Chris.
