Pictures

There’s a picture on yahoo images I want to use as my computers backround. However, it comes out blurry when I select it. In fact all pictures come out blurry when I try to put them on my backround. What steps do I do to fix this issue?

Is the picture clear to begin with? Is it large or small?

If it is small, you may be enlarging it when you set it on your desktop and thereby causing it to distort. The computer doesn’t do too well at making up pixels, which it has to do to make it bigger. (It does a little better at throwing them away, which it has to do to make an image smaller.)

Check to see whether you have chosen "tile" "center" or "stretch" in Control Panel>Display>Desktop. If it’s "stretch" try changing it to "center". If the picture is then too small, find a bigger picture rather than stretching it.

   if you don’t click set as backround item, and click copy backround, that will do it i think
