Why don't you put the background image on a flat plane?

Well, I just had a look and believe it or not, the background fit checkbox was already ticked on. I ticked it off, then back on again, re-rendered and got the same result. Hmmmmm..... I just wonder about this. I never had a problem like this with Poser 5.
I'll go ahead and place it on a flat plane prop and re-try it.

If you already resized the image it might change the dimensions since your render size may not be the window size.
You can always try bringing in a new background image and then making sure the box is ticked with the new image. If that doesn't work then putting it on a flat plane is your best bet.
I've never had a problem bringing in a background image without resizing in a paint program and I've been using Poser since ver. 4.

This is indeed a strange problem. I went ahead and placed it onto a flat plane and I actually liked the way it turned out. Manipulating the plane was a chore in itself for some odd reason. But in any event, I'll try your suggestion on my next render. In the meantime, I'm posting the finished picture in my gallery now. Please have a look if you'd like.

I think I know a fix (if memory serves me correct...)
At least in Poser 7, and I THINK it was the same in Poser 6, when you open the material Room and click "Background" the BG colour node is attached, and has a grey colour. Now, using the "use as background picture" plugs the BG Picture node in instead, but rather than this, try setting the BG Colour to white and then plug in a texture map there, with your background image.
It's a wellknown Poser bug, this. And IIRC, this is the easiest way to fix it.

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
Using Poser since 2002. Currently at Version 11.1 - Win 10.
Ow! Ow! Ow... You people all make my head hurt!
Victoria Lee has the answer!
When you import a background you have the option of setting your viewport setting to fit the background.
Unfortunately, this does not effect (affect?) your render dimensions.
You need to go to Render -> Render Dimensions
Then in Render Dimensions you can either manually key in your aspect ratio if you know it (I do all my renders at 1600x1200, for example) or if you don't choose -> Render to Exact Resolution, then check "constrain aspect ratio", then click "match document window".
Now, if you want you can increase or decrease the size of your render. Changing one number will change the other one to the proper corrosponding number.
Make sure everything is set at "pixels". The other measurements (inches, cms) are for print and will only confuse things if you just want to post ina gallery of work on your computer.
That said, choose a decent size, at least what your monitor display is set at, for example.
(HD Television is 1920 by 1080, but that would only print out at 6.4 inches by 3.6 inches at 300 dpi... a low quality magazine setting.)
(Don't bother changing from 72dpi unless you are going to print... even then I would just change that in Photoshop later... 72 dpi is dots per inch of all TVs and computer displays... when going to print it gets kind of complicated and that's a whole different discussion. Others will chime in and try to tell you otherwise... ignore them.)
I hope this helps!

The extra thing you have to do for P6 (besides ticking the "Auto_fit" box), is to make sure that the "Maximum texture size" in the Render settings is set to as least as large as the largest dimension of the background image.Good grief! How complicated! In Poser 5, it was easy... you just set the background pic to the size of your document window, import it and there you go, simple as can be. This is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more complicated than it needs to be. Why was the procedure changed, I wonder?

Hello everyone,
I'm doing some work with a newly acquired Poser version 6, and I've come across a strange problem. I imported a background picture into my scene. I went to window>document size to scene would be. It's 682x586 pixels. So I took my background pic, opened it in Paint Shop Pro, sized it accordingly and saved it. Then I actually imported it into Poser 6, and it looked ok - see pic below
But then, when I rendered it, the background picture actually shrank. See next pic...
Does anyone know why this happened and what I can do to counteract it? I'm pretty new to Poser 6, but even so, this is beyond weird. It's annoying and I really want to finish my scene. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks -
