You
can display the image associated with a texture in the UV
Texture Editor. The image appears behind the UVs so you
can rearrange the UVs in relation to the image.

In the UV
Texture Editor, select the texture you want to work on
from the Textures menu.
When you are in component

If the texture quality
is poor or if parts of the texture do not display correctly, you
can modify the display quality with the Hardware Texturing settings
in the Attribute Editor for the material
node.
If you are using a file
texture, the best display mode for the Texture resolution setting
is Default. (The other settings,
such as High, are best for procedural textures.)
If you experience resolution
or cropping problems in the texture image display, use Image
> UV Texture Editor Baking to bake the texture. You
must rebake the texture (using
UV Texture Editor toolbar)
after making changes to the texture (File node and place2dTexture
node attributes) in order to see the effect of those changes.
