Does anyone know if there´s a way to view a background image in studio in order to place an object correctly?

Hello you can save your image in .mxi and load it thanks to image based environment in the background channel.

Press the K key on your keyboard to activate/deactivate the viewport display of background images/Sky.

Is there anyway to increase the resolution of the displayed background? The resolution of the mxi seems to make no difference. As it is, it's very low res, which makes photo matching even harder.

In the Preferences, OpenGL section you can set the viewport texture display resolution, which will affect the display of the environment maps as well. You have to restart Studio for the changes to take effect.
