Poser 4 resamples the background image to your display window's current resolution. So, if your display window were 250x500, the background is scaled down to that res. And it stays that way, even when you render to a new, larger window.

Setting your display window to 1000x2000 probably isn't an option, eh?

On the other hand, Poser 5's Firefly renderer can use the full resolution of your background image, and does a fairly good job of upsampling if necessary, although the included P4 renderer suffers from the same flaws noted above.

The recommended solution in P4 is to create a background prop (a simple square prop from your Poser primitives should do), and apply the background image to that as a texture.
