Environment - Backdrop

Is there a way to fine-tune the position and scale of the backdrop? 

I'm currently doing a scene with the Streets of Asia set that I want to blend into a photograph of a Korean palace, but I can't get the right perspective and it looks like the stream running though the middle of town is pouring onto the roof of an outbuilding. The only way to get the right perspective is to lose the camera angle that I want.

    Assuming the backdrop is on a plane or similar object, you should be able to select the plane in the Scene tab, then click the Parameters tabs to adjust scale and position.

    Environment is a tab in the UI that applies photos as backdrops.

    Yes, it would probably be more practical, at this time, to use a plane, but I posted this as feedback because, with some work, this could become the more practical option in the future.

    The problem with a photo is if you don't match up with the camera and lens it can look weird. Other than warping the photo I'd have thought you'll just have to work at it. There is a little app that helps you determine the right camera angle and lens for a photo but I'd probably just use the Environment tab it's more intuitive.

    Environment puts the image on the whole scene. That might not be what is needed.
