Img1 (Windows 10)

img1, known as img0 in Windows 10 Insider Preview builds 10154 to 10158, is a wallpaper included in Windows 10 and its server counterparts. It was taken by JC Carey. It depicts Wharariki Beach, New Zealand during daytime. It appears as the default wallpaper of 10 builds 10154 to 10158, with build 10159 reallocating it to img1 and replacing img0 with the final wallpaper. A 4K version is also included in these builds as img0-4K.

The wallpaper in 10 is heavily edited from the original image: several clouds have been removed, the sky and its reflection on the beach are brighter, and a running woman was added; her photo was taken by Chris Raykovich, who was responsible for editing 10's wallpapers.

Trivia

 * According to the metadata of the original image, it was taken by JC Carey under his alias, JCPhotoMedia. However, Chris Raykovich lists it under Steve McCurry's images on his website, so it is likely he made a mistake and that Carey was another photographer on the New Zealand trip.
