Things you can do with a picture on an Image control

An Image control is not a picture itself; rather, it contains a picture that is stored in a separate file. You cannot edit the picture with the properties of the Image, but you can use them to specify the way the picture appears on the Image.

An interesting application of Image is that you can use it as a background picture for your application. To do this, make the Image the same size as the form. Then, you can place other controls on top of the background.
