So that I can edit the mesh while according to the reference image in the back drop.
“Wire Mode” is not what I’m looking for, since I can’t see the color or texture on the faces.
I believe you are looking for “Occlude Geometry”.
This button is found right between the selection type buttons (vertex, edge, face) and the snap options (increment, vertex, surface etc.)
Only visible in Edit mode (of course).
Sorry, but “Limit selection to visible” (if that’s what you mean) doesn’t solve my problem. I still cannot see the background image through the model.
