I know this has been answered, and I did search under a few different search runs and could not find the answer. I am putting photos on my bb by emailing them to myself and I wanted to use them as background images and I know how to do that as well, but is there a way to resize the picture before or after sending it to use the full size of the screen. I am using a bb 7520 with Nextel.

use an image editor such as Photoshop.

For Windows, http://www.irfanview.com/

It's free, and does a good job on cropping and resizing.
