Selecting your account picture

You can select a snapshot to use as the user account picture you see when you log in to Mac OS X. This snapshot will also replace the picture on your address card in Address Book.

To select your account picture:

  1. Click the thumbnail of the snapshot you want to use.

    If you want to use a frame from a 4-up snapshot, select it. If you want to use a frame from a movie clip, position the playback where you want.

  2. Click the Account Picture button.

    The Accounts pane of System Preferences opens, showing your new user account picture.

If you want to change the position and scale of the user account picture, click the image in Accounts preferences.
