The dark modes look far better.
Any way to extract the dark versions for use on iOS though? And to a lesser extent, in macOS while in light mode?
Got a tip for us?

I think it automatically changes based on your system theme.
I use Dark Mode, so for me it's not a problem.
Yes for sure. The question is, is there any way to get the dark version without toggling the system-wide Dark Mode?
Yes, there is. You can select the light or dark one once it's been set as wallpaper.
I absolutely adore the green one. Which is odd because I'm usually not particularly fond of greens but this almost turquoise-style green tint seems to be pushing just the right buttons in my brain.

Hmmm... Happy to see them now in today's beta, but I get the sizing options in that drop-down, not the Light/Dark options.
UPDATED: Ah, it works if I drag the .heic file into the little preview window in the Desktop & Screen Saver pane, not if you right-click the file to Set as Desktop Picture.

Interesting. Must be different in the Beta then because I never dragged anzthing, I just right-clicked in the Library folder and set as desktop picture.
Yes. I did have to restart System Preferences after changing the wallpaper because it doesn't notice a change in wallpaper performed outside of it while it is running (aka by right-clicking any photo in the Finder and setting it as Desktop Picture) but that was true for every wallpaper.
Managed to extract the dark versions for use on iOS/iPadOS/Whatever takes your fancy:
