Specify the Image Size. Image size controls how the image fits within the container:
- Original – Displays the image at its original size.
- Cover – Scales the image to cover the container fully while maintaining the aspect ratio.
- Contain – Scales the image to fit within the container without cropping.
10. If needed, specify Image Tile. Image Tile determines how the image repeats:
- Don't Repeat – Displays the image once.
- Repeat – Tiles the image both horizontally and vertically.
- Repeat X – Tiles the image horizontally.
- Repeat Y – Tiles the image vertically.
Specify the Position of the image if it needs to have a fixed effect and specify image opacity.
The Fixed effect keeps the background image stationary while scrolling, creating a sense of depth.
