Problems with Backdrops

The problem you are having is that Workbench puts the image in the background, but the image is much smaller than the picture so it is repeated. This can be fixed by resizing the image to be the same size as your workbench screen in an art package such as PPAINT or DPAINT.

Your problem with corrupt colours stems from the fact that Workbench is not using enough colours to display the image properly so it has to be remapped in the palette that you are using. To fix this you need to load the SCREENMODE program located in your PREFS drawer and change the number of colours by dragging the bar to the right, which should give you 256 colours. This has the disadvantage of slowing your machine down quite noticeably if you only have 2 meg memory.
