Well, to get your personnal images displayed in lightdm, you have to
copy them to

/usr/share/backgrounds

And you have to create or modify the file

personnal-wallpapers.xml

located in

/usr/share/gnome-background-properties

keeping this in mind :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE wallpapers SYSTEM "gnome-wp-list.dtd">
<wallpapers>
  <wallpaper>
    <name>my_personnal_picture_01</name>
    <filename>/usr/share/backgrounds/my_personnal_picture_01.zyx</filename>
    <options>zoom</options>
    <pcolor>#2c001e</pcolor>
    <scolor>#2c001e</scolor>
    <shade_type>solid</shade_type>
  </wallpaper>
  <wallpaper>
    <name>my_personnal_picture_02</name>
    <filename>/usr/share/backgrounds/my_personnal_picture_02.wvu</filename>
    <options>zoom</options>
    <pcolor>#2c001e</pcolor>
    <scolor>#2c001e</scolor>
    <shade_type>solid</shade_type>
  </wallpaper>
</wallpapers>

If you remove the line <options>...</options> you'll be prompted when
setting your wallpaper what kind of display-mode you want to use (zoom,
span, fill...)

The color here is a a very dark pink, almost black.

An easier, transparent or automatic way of doing that would be indeed
very nice !
