Scale

Controls the relative size the image will have in the viewport: the greater the value, the larger the size. If you select Proportional, the scaling value you specify applies uniformly to the image's width and height. Selecting Non-proportional, allows you to specify individual values to width and height.

Plane

Display View places image on the display view plane. Construction Plane places image on the construction plane.

Position

Selecting Select for placement allows you to indicate the position of image. Image Anchor indicates the anchor position of image.

Color options

If Grayscale is cleared, the color of the image will be retained. If Grayscale is selected, the image will be gray. In either case, Transparency controls the degree of transparency of the image, from 0 (minimum transparency) to 100 (maximum transparency).
