    Sorry but your question is a bit vague and not much contextualized. Would you like to use AWT? Or, better, Swing? Can you explain, with words, the user interface of the application you want to do?

    Sorry but there are still many obscure points:
    1) You have not told if you want to create an AWT or Swing application (there is another framework called SWT but it's not very common).
    2) You have not told what type of image is. Here it means effectively the format/extension. Is it a "common" .jpg/.png/.gif ? .... or some other more exotic format?
    3) You have not told if the application must "know" exactly about that image or if the image can/should be choosen by the user.
    4) You have not explained, in general, how the user interface should appear.
    5) You have not even tried to write some code ....

    Here's the intro page to the Swing tutorials.

    The Working with Graphics lesson should cover the essential elements you need to accomplish what you've described.

    Come back when you have code and need help.

    Your code has serious syntax errors (just one: you are trying to declare the main method into jButton1ActionPerformed ...).

    But apart this, your code is also overly complicated because you have used a GUI editor to create the user interface.
    GUI editors are not bad by itself .... but they tend to generate code that is: a) complex, b) "smoky", c) too verbose, d) hard to read and maintain

    Please, avoid the use of GUI editor and instead learn how to develop GUIs with simple/common components and layout managers.
