yes, what ajax said- but, (there allways is one isn't there) Poser just plane sucks at background pictures. They allways look pixilated. One thing you can do is to put it on a flat plane primative and scale it up to fit your pic. It really helps make it better, or you can use layers in your favorite paint program and add it later. I sometimes add the background pick just for referance then after its done use a layer to re-add the background just to remove the blockyness.
