Autostretch for image display?

If I were to set up a page using a photograph as a background image, is there a
way in DW8 to make the photo stretch the full length and width of the browser
(without repeating)? Setting the photo to repeat distracts from the text and
looks awful to boot. If not, would it work to put the graphic inside a table
and stretch the table?

Also, is it possible to mute an image, e.g., to 50%, 10%, etc.?

No, trying to make the image stretch to 100% width is going to give you a
terribly distorted picture. You can try centering the image either on the
body or table cell and use a complimentary background color to blend the
image into.

As for 'muting' an image, you need to do that via your graphics program.

Okay, so maybe stretch was the wrong word. How about enlarge a background pic?

Same thing. Changing an image's native size by any means will create
distortion.
