Default Center, Tile, or Stretch...are there any other options or settings

I need some advice:
I'm trying to use some of my pictures as my desktop background. When I
select center, it zooms in too close, tile zooms in even closer still, and
stretch really distorts the picture. Are there any other ways to get a
picture on your desktop without it becoming distorted?

Thanks

It seems as if some of your images are bigger than your desktop. I
suggest that you get hold of some program that will allow you to resize
and crop images (and much more). There are many and most are free. I'd
suggest FastStone Image Viewer
http://www.faststone.org/index.htm
or
The GIMP
http://www.gimp.org/
The first is easier to use, but the second is a more powerful tool. No
need to spend any money.
