It is quite simple. Select Sketch > Add File, and navigate to the location of your file. Then, in code, follow the example. Use loadImage() with the name of your file.

You have to use image() or background() after loading the image.
Show what you tried, we will show you how to get the result you want.

I have used this code and the result was the image should be of same size...

PImage img;
img = loadImage("myimage.jpg");
background(img);

Firstly, we would rather have you paste your code than a screenshot... but your problem: (quite obviously), your image is not the size of the window. It must be the size of the window in order to be displayed as a background. Try adding the following line of code before you call background():

img.resize(width, height); //Resizes the image to be the size of the window

size(widthOfWindow, heightOfWindow);

EDIT: Sorry, I was being hasty in this response. Working on writing another long one...

In short, size() must be the first function call in your program (e.g., the first line of setup() or just the first line). All else is explained above.

Not sure to fully understand the question, but take a look at save() and saveFrame().
