I went to change my desktop picture today, and the image was skewed, so I wanted to change the option to 'fill screen' instead of 'stretch to fill screen', but it was gone! Has this ever happened to anyone and is there an easy fix?

Well if it were me, the first thing I would do is restart the Mac. If that didn't do it, then a permissions repair would be in order. :black:

Well, I know this option doesn't show up with Apple's own images, since they are already the correct size I suppose.

Maybe if the images have the "correct" proportions, the options don't show up?
Try cropping the image (so it's not proportional) in Preview and try setting that as the background - just to see if that could be it...
