It is fairly easy, though there are a few
'gotchas'. Need some more info. to give you
more specific advice.

This is what I have tried:

...
ImageIcon img=new ImageIcon("D:\\mypic.tif");
JLabel jl=new JLabel(img);
myPanel.add(jl);
...

The code works for "D:\\mypic.gif"

Ahh.. wait, think I have (now) spotted the problem.

The JavaDocs for ImageIcon (links here..)
<http://www.physci.org/api.jsp?class=javax.swing.ImageIcon>
point to..
<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/icon.html>
..which explains..
"Swing provides a particularly useful
implementation of the Icon interface:
ImageIcon, which paints an icon from
a GIF, JPEG, or (as of 1.3) PNG image."

Note that 'tif' is not listed..

For some examples of reading 'tif's, you might check

Of course.. I _could_ have solved that on the
first post if I had been paying attention!
