Ok got it finally
<textureinfo> size has to be set to 2048 x 2048 in order for a 1280 x 1280 image to show up.
apperantley the he image size reverts back to one size smaller than it actually is my problem was i was trying to put in 1280 x 1280 and it was showing as 512 x 512 or something close to that.
heres what it looks like, keep in mind its still a workin progress
I kinda borrowed Tkings spell book images to create it
