[Therion] Resizing or scaling a replacement background image

Hello everyone -
I am not sure how this should be handled, or if it even CAN be handled ...
A few weeks ago we went to a section of a cave where the original sketch
has some problems. Rather than resketch the entire section, we took the
original sketch and made corrections directly on it.
Now I want to update the Therion map. Six months ago I used the
original sketch as the background of a .th2 file, then drew as much as I
could figure out. Since the update is on the same piece of paper, I
figured I could just replace the original drawing background with a
scanned image of the updated sketch. It did not work.
The new scanned background comes in about 1/5 as big as it needs to be.
The original elements I drew do not match up, so I cannot draw the new
stuff on it.
I think the reason is that the original background and the new
background were scanned at different resolutions. I did not scan them.
The old background image is 2550x3300 pixels and the new is 908x1200 pixels.
What do you suggest? Is there a way to stretch the new background so it
fits under the existing drawing?
It might be easiest to ask for a rescan. The new scan might still not
line up. Is there a way to shift the background? I think there is. I
have managed to do it a few times by accident. No idea what keys I hit
when that happens. I have to close the .th2 without saving, then open
and start again.
