Textruing issues ZBrush 4.0

I’m a beginner at ZBrush so if I need to be more specific let me know.

I’m doing tutorials from a book “Introducing ZBrush by Eric Keller”. One of the tutorials is to start using pictures for model referencing.
So I start out loading the imageplanex.ztl which is easy, after drawing and switching to edit mode I select FastShader from the materials and select the color white. Up to this point everything is fine. The next step is to load a texture that says front and side.

Well I click on import texture and I can import it, but that’s it. It doesn’t appear on the imageplane, but I thought maybe the next step would fix the problem. The next step was loading a skull refference image onto the plane. That didn’t work either. I assume this is a beginners mistake, because I’ve searched youtube, google, and here plus variouus places and couldn’t find an answer to my problem.

To sum up my problem it’s this: I’m trying to load a .psd file onto an imageplane.ztl. I can get the image to load but not appear on the imageplane itself.

Thank you for assisting me.

After loading the texture you need to apply it. Select the desired SubTool, then go to the Tool>Texture Map menu. There, click the preview thumbnail and select the texture from the pop-up.
