I've set up my scene and loaded my background, but I want to expand the background image so that it covers the entire scene. How do I do this? Thanks.

Try using your image in "Backdrop[".

Yes, in Background image will be mapped in a sphere. This is good for HDRI lightning. IN backdrop the image will be showed as a fixed image in the background, so you cant move your camera, because the image will be stay in place.

Thanks for the reply Brian. I tried it in BD, but it would not stretch out to fill the BG. The image is 1250x925.

This is the result of putting an 1250by925 image on the default 640by480 default Production Frame. You seem to be not doing something that is "normal"?

Thats good Shakti.

Attached is the result of applying that same image to an 800 by 450 size.
The image stretches to fit the size.
