This technique is used to load a jpg or png file located in the resources directory into a UIView where all sorts of fun can be had;
//Gets photo name
UIImage *rightPhoto = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image6.jpg"];
//Configure and place image
UIImageView *rightImage = [[UIImageView alloc] init];
CGRect rightFrame = CGRectMake(800.0, 390.0, 200.0, 150.0);
rightImage.frame = rightFrame;
rightImage.image = rightPhoto;
//Apply the Images to the view
UIView *rightPostCard = [[UIView alloc] init];
[rightPostCard addSubview:rightImage];
[self.view addSubview:rightPostCard];
[rightImage release];
