So, where is Edit > Backdrop? It does not appear in the Edit pull-down menu as an option.

From the DAZ Knowledge base:

Bringing Photoshop Files into Studio
It's important to be aware that Studio is primarily a 3D application and that Photoshop is primarily a 2D application. You can bring 2D pictures from Photoshop into DAZ Studio. To do this, save the picture in Photoshop in a format that can be used in Studio, such as .jpg, .png, or .psd. The Photoshop Document format can be used in MLIE (Multi-Layered Image Editor). Otherwise, the .jpg and .png formats are standard. There are two ways to use 2D files in Studio. You can use a 2D file, such as a .jpg file, as a backdrop. You can apply a 2D file to the surface of a model.

To create a backdrop in DAZ Studio 4, go to EDIT --> Backdrop. In the new window, browse to and select the 2D file that you wish to use.

Note that the DAZ knowledge base excerpt referes to DAZ 4...

There's a new pane called 'Environment'. That gives you all the backdrop options.
