Poser resizes to your document window size any time the doc window is smaller than Poser's currently stored version of the image. So if you start with an 800600 image, import into a document with a doc window that's 640480, resize the window to 320240 and then render at 800600, what you wind up with is a background that's been scaled up from 320240, not your original 800600 background. To get around it, set your doc window size the same as the image you plan to import as a background and don't change it after you've done the import. Also, the quality of the background image is important, so if you're creating the background in another app, make sure you save it as a bitmap or some other non-lossy image format. If you use a jpeg background, you can't help but lose some more detail every time you save it as a jpeg again.
