FAQ:
Q: My background images won't show up after dragging them in.
A: Ensure that your view is properly aligned (press 1 on numpad to set view from front). You also need to be in orthographic (as opposed to perspective) view. You can toggle between ortho and perspective with 5 on the numpad. As an alternative to dragging the images in, you can press 'n' to open the properties panel, and add an image manually in the 'Background Images' section near the bottom.

Q: Pressing the numbers only changes frame/layer.
A: You need to press the numbers on the numpad. If your keyboard does not have a numpad, go into preferences and in the input tab check 'emulate numpad'.
