How to Download Wallpapers on a Mac


Begin to address your wallpaper needs on your Mac by bringing your cursor to the Apple icon in your tool bar. This icon is located on the far left of the tool bar at the top of your screen and provides a list of display features.
Select 'System Preferences' from the Apple menu to prepare your computer for the wallpaper download. This menu leads you to an icon called 'Desktop,' which allows you to manage every aspect of your Mac's appearance.
Save pictures and images that you download for use as wallpaper in the 'Picture' file so you can access them easily on your Mac. You can access your documents from the 'Finder' icon on the 'Dock' menu along the side of your screen.
Upload photos from your digital camera onto your Mac to increase the potential wallpapers for your desktop. You can connect the memory card into your Mac's USB port and access the appropriate drive through the Mac 'Finder.'
Click twice on the 'Photo' file and double click again on the appropriate photo to complete editing before using it as wallpaper. Your photo will pop up in your default photo editor and you can use the Mac's resolution limitations to establish boundaries for your creativity.
Access 'iTunes' through your Mac to locate album covers, art and other materials promoted through Apple for download as wallpaper. Apple will occasionally place images ready for use as wallpapers up on 'iTunes,' but you can also copy images directly from its website (see Resources below).
Search for seasonal or special wallpapers for your Mac through Apple's Downloads page (see Resources below). This page offers safe and complete wallpaper files ranging from promotional wallpapers for artists to backgrounds related to upcoming holidays.

How to Take a Professional Headshot Using Photo Booth and iPhoto


Check your hair, makeup and clothing. You should be wearing what you want for your headshot before you open up Photo Booth. Have at least one change of clothing so you have a choice later. If you have long hair, be prepared to shoot some photos with your hair up and then down. Be sure your hair and makeup showcase your best qualities.
Choose a location with natural lighting or set up some lights. Your face should be clear without any hard shadows. Early morning or evening would work if you are taking the photographs outside. However, if your computer is not portable, you need to find somewhere inside to take the headshots. Be sure there is nothing distracting behind you.
Plug your video camera into your computer, unless you have an iSight camera built into your computer. Open the Photo Booth application on your Mac, since this application is only found on Apple computers. Turn your video camera to standby.
View yourself on the computer screen. Avoid taking pictures with you looking up or down at your camera. You want to look directly at the camera. Frame the shot so you see mostly your face and the top of your chest. Be sure Photo Booth has no effects clicked on. Choose the center button in Effects.
Press the Shutter Button when you are ready. The application has a 3 second countdown before flashing and taking the photo. Hold your facial expression for the shot. Try different sides of your face and different expressions.
Change your shirt or top for a new set of photos. Change your hair or makeup if needed. Press the shutter button when you are ready. Take as many photos as you want.
Open up your iPhoto application to view your photos. Photo Booth automatically saves your photos into your Pictures file. Click on the 'File' tab in iPhoto. Press 'Import to Library,' which automatically opens the Pictures file.
Click the photograph you want to import and then press 'Import' at the bottom left side. Repeat for each headshot you want to import. The photos should group together in the same event. If not, press 'Last Import' of the right side of the screen.
Double-click on a headshot that you want to open up large. Look for any stray hairs or areas that are out of focus. Double-click the image again to go back to the Events page with all your headshots.
Edit the photo if you need to. Click 'Edit' at the bottom of the application. This function allows you to rotate, enhance, fix red-eye, straighten, crop or retouch your picture. Click on the function you want to use. You can also click 'Revert to Original' if you need the old picture again.
Click 'Share' to order prints from Apple for your headshots. Choose the 8-by-10-inch size in matte glossy. If you have a printer and matte photo paper, click the 'File' tab at the top. The print box should appear. Be sure it is going to your chosen printer and is going to print on photo paper.
Turn your printer on and put photo paper into it. Click 'Print Size' at the bottom right corner. Press 'Custom' for the size. Write eight for width and ten for height. Click 'OK.' Then, press 'Print' to print it out.
