Can you provide more info as to what you're trying to do? Depending on your needs, you may be looking for a texturing solution, a modeling solution, or something else...

Click on the 'sphere' button on the control panel.

Click in the middle of a view window (front?)

Go to Menu Object->texture->load-texture and select your image file.
