try this ML&M
With the perspective viewport active, select a background using the Background Image function in the Views menu. Select the image you want to use as a background and don't forget to switch the Display Background option to ON. For the aspect ratio, select the Match Rendering Output option (since we want our final rendering to match). Next we also need to define an environment background so that it'll show up during rendering. Use theEnvironment function, located in the Render menu for this. In the background section of the environment dialog set the Use Map option to ON and assign a bitmap to it. The environment background will now be located in one of the material editor slots (usually slot 1 by default). Call up the material editor and for a bitmap select the same image you just selected for the background of the viewport. In the mapping list (under the Coordinates panel) select SCREEN as the mapping type. Now you have the right setup to work with, a background in the viewport we'll be working with as well as a background for rendering.
