- You can now browse the preset images of which there are several colour variations but only three designs. If you have your own photos stored on your PS3 you may want to browse them instead, so select “Select from [Photo]“. Otherwise select a preset image that appeals to you

- If you chose to browse photos you will see the usual folder presentation
. When you find a photo you like, select it
