I don't use background images often but I do remember sometimes having issues if I tried to set up a background in the material room like you would for adding a texture to a prop. If You used file>import>background picture, it worked. I don't know how or why. I never looked into it further.

I have a sort-of workaround by attaching the bg image to a flat-plane primitive and resizing and positioning it in the scene but it's a pain in the butt to try to do it that way and it complicates the lighting.

Check the "auto-fit" in the background picture node in material room.

Firstly, thank you for the suggestion.

I tried this today exactly as indicated, but it didn't work.  Actually, to clarify - it worked one time. lol  After that it was no joy. I couldn't get it to work again no matter what I did.

In fact, it also did  something else I don't understand. After I'd import the background and click auto-fit and connect the nodes as shown, if I then tried to switch back to the pose room, it would undo everything, including clearing the background.

So I'm right back at square-one.  :(

I'll give it a try. I'm open to all suggestions at this point.

I have run several renders for Superfly and Firefly with a few background scenes and have not noticed any irregularities between them.  If this was a straightforward problem, I would see it immediately, regardless of the dimensions of the images.

Oh sorry, yeah it's 1920x1080. And that's the size I almost always use and almost always render my final images at as well. I just prefer it because it fits perfectly on HDTVs.

I agree with the sentiments being stated here, for what it's worth. I was very disappointed to discover my last purchase earned no rewards points (I'm not a Prime customer and don't feel it's worth the cost) and I think taking them away from regular customers is a very bad idea. It's already put me off buying a few things. I sincerely hope Rendo changes their mind about it.
