did you use the built-in ImagePlanes? or did you make poly planes and texture them with your ref images?
with the built-in ones, you will only be able to select the planes in the perspective view if i recall.
with the poly plane way, make a new layer, add the planes, and set it to 'reference'. then you can't select them at all.
