I am working in PSE 5. I have downloaded some styles from a scrapbooking sight. I want to use some of the paper for a background. My problem is that I can't get the paper t resize to the size of the image I am using. I create a new image, O.K. size 600 x 800 pixels. Then I go and drag the paper into the image and it is about 1 inch x 1 inch. If I stretch it, it looks stretched if you know what I mean. All pixally. How can I get the paper to fill the whole image. I even made it a pattern and loaded it into my patterns and it still is that small size.

Click on a blank layer
Choose Edit > Fill Layer
Set the USE box to Pattern
Click below where it says "custom pattern"
Choose the pattern
Click OK

you may have to load a different pattern set...if so, after you choose "custom pattern", click the set of double-arrows in the upper-right corner of the pattern selection window and make your choice.

Good luck!
