Unfortunately setting the preferred size made no difference so images that are scaled smaller than 120x120 still make the jpanel get resized which makes all the other widgets in the dialog shift upwards.

I'd add a JLabel to the panel and set the labels icon to the image. Remember that you may need scale the image for the size of the panel if you want to keep aspect ratio's and have a certain size ..... I use code a bit like this :- final Image scaledImage = scaleImage(orig inalOverviewIma ge, overviewPanel.g etWidth(), myPanel.getHeig ht());

Quickly and easily scale images. Drag an image onto the widget and it is scaled to the desired size.
