I assume the image command under view is to place an image as a template. I can't seem to figure this one out on my own. Is there a help section for this?
Basically click the View > Image button, then in the upper right area of the window there will be a bunch of options relating to the images, push the "Add" button to add in a new one, pick the image file name in the file dialog box, and then pick 2 points for where to place the image.
If you have some tremendously large image scanned in, reduce the size somewhat in an image editing program before trying to bring it in.
