Can I use a background image?

[standardfehler]

Hi, I recently used the LaTeX beamerposter package to create my poster.
It really worked for me quite well.
But one sample question: is there any chance that I can use a background
image?

Thanks for support!

problem solved! Basically it's pretty easy. Hier is my solution:
\usepackage{tikz}
\setbeamertemplate{background canvas}
{
\tikz{\node[inner sep=0pt,opacity=1.0] {\includegraphics[height=
\paperheight,width=\paperwidth]{my background}};}
}

Isn't there a command \usebackgroundtemplate to do so? I think that the
following works (and does not require tikz):
\usebackgroundtemplate{\includegraphics[height=\paperheight]{my
background}}
