Photo drape on surface

This might be a very basic question, but I am a bit lost despite some digging. I have a DEM surface and a photo positioned directly above that surface in a pictureframe . What I want to do in ortho-project the image (directly downward to perpendicular to the pictureframe) onto the underlying surface is such a way that I can continue to edit the surface after the raster image is draped onto it. Can anyone point me to the methods?

Hi Willis -

Add the image as a texture in the Textures panel. (Panels menu)
Select the mesh, and in Properties >Texture Mapping page, choose Planar mapping. Probably you will want to use the BoundingBox > World options but it can be changed.
Drag the texture from the Textures panel onto the mesh.

Any luck?
