So, whenever you set a wallpaper off the picture viewer or from the wallpaper customization menu it takes whatever image it is, copies it, and creates a new image in the jpg format. It then uses this jpg version as your wallpaper. To get around this you can open the image in IE, or Firefox I think, and choose 'set as wallpaper.' When you do this I believe it resaves the image as a bmp instead of jpg and uses that as the wallpaper. A completely ass-backwards and retarded method, I know, but it seems to be the most effective way without using 3rd party software.
tl;dr Open your image in a web browser, 'set as wallpaper.'
