In DAZ Studio 4.6, I enjoyed adding a background scene by going to Edit...Backdrop. How can I do this in DS 4.7?

    That function has been moved to a new pane, go to Window>Panes(Tabs)>Environment. If you use backdrops a lot, dock the pane so that it's available with a single click.

    This is great, however there is no indication of how to actually add an image background. Also not in the user guide.

    Set the Active type to backdrop and the rest of the controls will appear. There is a fuller entry in the FAQ, linked below.

    Man oh man, this drove me nuts the other day. I could not figure out where the option had gone!

    You can also map your photo onto a flat plane then the camera dof can be used
