Courses Plus Student 1,961 PointsI want to use my image I created as a desktop background but the image distorts / is blurred.
How do I correct this? I tried saving it to JPEG but still does the same

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 36,955 PointsHi Monique,
Did you create your desktop image with vector shapes or vector elements, because if so, you would be able to resize without lost of quality when you resize it to fit on your desktop.
If you were creating an image made up of vector elements did you check in the options bar that you had chosen Shape (which is Vector) and not pixels (which is raster)?
If it is saved as a JPEG or pixel based image and you try to enlarge the raster/pixel image pass a certain point of the amount of pixels and resolution of the original size of the image it will blur. Which I think means you would have to enlarge your pixel based image and all the elements in it in Photoshop.
Hope that helps
