Not that long ago, I found the folder that contains all the wallpaper backgrounds - I think it was somewhere in the Library? Anyways, after I found it, I added some of my own wallpaper images to the folder, so that they showed up in the pre-set folders of Nature, Plants, Abstract, etc, and not in my New Desktop Wallpapers folder. Well, now I have some new backgrounds I want to add, and for the life of me I can't remember where I found that folder before! I looked in the Library and the closest thing there is the Screensavers folder, but no wallpapers. Anyone know where this is located??
 
/Library/Desktop Pictures

it's your root directory library not your user library.

EDIT: Beaten to it. Anyway why not just add picture folders instead of messing with the library?
 
Yeah, I definitely looked in both libraries and it's not there... weird. Probably from me messing with it!
It's no big deal, I already added another folder, but I just thought it was neat having them all organized like that... ohwell!

try going to the "Go" dropdown and clicking on the Go To Folder...
then type the directory in there. worked for me.
