Photo as Background
To use a photo as a page background, choose the Photo Background option in the Layout panel.
Next, choose a layout and add photos and/or text to the page, as appropriate.
Tip: A busy background photo will over-whelm text or other photos, impairing legibility. Solution: increase the transparency of the background photo. Click the photo, and drag the lower slider to the right until the photo appears faint.
