11How to Create a Desktop Background Slideshow On Your MacBook [Tutorial]
If you're like us, you love browsing and collecting nice desktop pictures. There are literally thousands of websites that provide free desktop pictures. Anybody can download one of these works of art and set it as their desktop. And, if you have a digital camera and use iPhoto, you can set one of your own photos as your desktop picture.
You can choose the picture that’s displayed on your desktop. Your Mac comes with dozens of desktop pictures to choose from, or you can use your own pictures or choose a solid color.
Photo slideshows can be a fun way to remember a trip, or any experience.
And if you have a Mac, making a slideshow – complete with background music and fun slide transitions – is exceedingly easy to do.
You can either build a slideshow from scratch, or have your Mac's Photos app make an "instant" one for you.
The problem is that you only have one desktop, and having one desktop means you can only display one desktop picture at a time. (Unless you have two displays connected to your Mac. Most of us aren't so fortunate!) But don't worry: there is a way to shuffle through all of your desktop pictures and photos stored in iPhoto. We'll show you how to make these pictures change automatically over a certain period of time - like a slideshow!
