How do I make background image fit?

I made my dialogue box a solid black background so I want my background image to fix just above the dialgoue box.

Notice the reflection of the tip of the mountain is obscured by the dialogue box, I don't want it to be like this.

How do I make it so that the background image fits just above the dialogue box when called upon?

As to the question: I'm not 100% sure what you're asking.

Go into an image editing program and edit your image so it is the size you want it to be. Note: Having a background that doesn't cover the whole screen isn't a good idea. There will be moments when the text box won't be visible, and then the what? You can have the textbox always visible with "window true" I believe, but I'd doublecheck the documentation for that.
