On ipad, first Open the desired reference as you would any other image to paint on. Then, from your working canvas, the desired reference will appear in the Reference panel drop down list.
To change reference image size, make active the reference file, and go to File/ImageResize. Saving not necessary. Go back to working canvas and reselect the reference. It will be 100% whatever you resized the reference.
Note that you can “check” one of your working layers for reference, and bind a hot key to show or hide it. The checked reference layer can also be the active layer for wand and paint bucket, turned on from the tool options bar.

I just wanted to add that you don’t need to change the size of the original image to change it’s size in the reference panel. You can select the magnifying glass tool from the tool bar to zoom in and out of the image in the reference window. I 0nly figured this out recently it’s super handy :)
