Can't find canvas Calibrate command in my free version

I am following a tutorial on how to begin an airplane model with a canvas; I inserted the image (jpeg file) into a reference plane and right click the canvas to calibrate the image - but the command is missing in the menu... thoughts/comments? Thanks.

Expand the browser to find the file entry, right click the file name.

Thxs. Dave. The problem is not inserting the image (I am able to locate and place the image in the ref. plane); it's that the calibrate and edit commands are not shown in the drop down menu when you right click the canvases. Not sure the free/trial version has limited features; I contacted Autodesk support but no reply and I don't know if I can re-install Fusion with an open account.

I opened up my Fusion 360 Personal license and took a screen capture of the where you can find the Calibrate and Edit Canvas commands.  This of course is after you have originally inserted the canvas into your model.  You can see the personal license at the top of the image.

Hei John. That's exactly my problem... I don't see the calibrate/edit/replace options in my Fusion so I can't start my model. Apparently the free version has full features based on you screen; not sure I downloaded an old version but it was from Autodesk site... 😞

For this function , all versions are the same...

Open the Browser with down arrows

until you find the file name, 

if you have the canvass inside a component it will be in there,

You can go to the "?" in the top right corner, select it and look at the bottom for the About command.  The screen that comes up will give you the version.  All license types are the same.  Current version is 2.0.10564  Just of jollies, close and restart Fusion 360 is the version is the same.

Hei John.... You and Dave gave me the resolution.. I was hitting the canvases folder and not the view itself. Just a retired and novice in Fusion 360.; I think I now can get started. Thank you both so much.
