• Answer:

  If you want it as a background, so that you can put other widgets on top, that takes a few tricks. One technique, you subclass JPanel and override the paintComponent(). The photo will paint and then your setLayout() takes over to layout JTextfields, JButtons and whatever else. I'll throw together an example using JLayeredPane, which is part of every JFrame. There is a lot going on under the hood. You load an image using ImageIO.read( file ). A lot of newby problems coding the path to that photo. So, let say that image file is inside a the folder with all your class files. Important, not the folder with your java source files -- the compiled files. good luck.
