Working with Image Planes

I've just started working with Character Creator and Headshot and I am so impressed. I would appreciate a little help with working with image planes. A couple of questions:

1) When I bring in my side profile image as an image plane it is not scaled properly. I understand I can rescale it by dragging the corners and that's fine, but is there a way to have the image scale 1x1 to its native scale rather than having to guess?
2) I was working with a project and it crashed. Now I open it and the profile image plane is present and not scaled but I can't select it. Is there an image plane manager or some key command I'm missing that makes the plane selectable as well as turning it on and off? (it is probably something obvious but I haven't found it yet in the manual or in the tutorial video on image planes).

THANKS SO MUCH.

Hm, that's odd. Does it show up in the Scene Manager? That's where the image planes and image layers should be located.

To scale the image plane, do the following:
1) Select the plane (either click on it in the preview window, or select it in 'Scene' panel)
2) Open the 'Modify' panel and look for 'Transform'
3) Enter equal X & Y(?) values under 'Scale' to maintain aspect ratio (axes could vary depending on orientation of image - whichever axis used for thickness should not be scaled up)

Can't thank you all enough. I now understand image planes and how to access them and scale them! Beautiful!

I really appreciate those of you who have taken time to share your knowledge here. This is an incredibly useful tool and I look forward to becoming more skilled with it. We're working on a JFK assassination project and needed a 3D Lee Harvey Oswald. Using his mugshot, we were able to generate a usable asset very quickly. I'll be doing some mesh work and improving the geometry, but it blows my mind that we can get this far so quickly using this great plug-in.
