From the email bag:

I've taken a pic of my house, answered "yes" to the dialog box question, "Do you want to add an image now?", then selected the image; to which I get a box that says, "The selected image is too large for the display. Use anyway? I tried "Yes", but I only get a GIANT portion of the upper story left side of my house. What do I need to do to get the animator to accept my image within the confines of its sizing parameters?

Answer:

While I've personally witnessed an image sized at 1162x778 used as a display image, I would suggest that you resize your graphic to something more common in size. 640X480 should work for most displays. If that is too small, the increase the size a little at a time until you find the size that works for you.
