Background Images are not showing up in the other views other than the camera view. It will show in the camera view but not in the other orthographic views. I have tried switching the set view that the image is visible in and increasing opacity to 1.0. I am in orthographic view when I am attempting this.

Here are the specs for my computer that I am aware of:

  • Blender Version: 2.78
  • Image format: jpeg
  • Graphics Driver: NVIDIA
  • OS: Windows 8.1

Edit: Here is an image of the setup. Nothing is changed except for the preset view (using left in this case).

Current setup with only Left Preset view

    Welcome to the site. Do you use preset orthographic views or do you enter in User orthographic view with Numpad5 ? Also please include set up of your background image; it could happen it's chosen to be shown in camera view only.

  • Background images show only in PRESET ORTHO views (Front, Back, Left, Right, Top, Bottom) or Camera Perspective. No user Ortho views will display background images. –  Nov 17 '16 at 05:05
  • I tried all the preset ortho views. I am a bit of a noob so I didn't know about the preset and user ortho views. – mercedesavenir Nov 17 '16 at 21:41
  • To find out whether background images can be shown choose All Views and enter one of either preset views or camera view; thus you'll see do background images work or not. See about entering preset ortho views. – Mr Zak Nov 17 '16 at 22:37
  • That is what I initially did. It was set to the default All Views with no other settings altered. I did what was shown in the preset ortho view tutorial and the image did not show. When I selected the camera view instead of All Views and went into camera view it showed. – mercedesavenir Nov 19 '16 at 06:00

Works fine for me in all views using 2.78 build 2016-8-11. On Windows no special driver and I have a sucky standard display chipset that gives me OpenGL grief. You're sure that its in Ortho mode?
