Hi Richard,
How about:
Image im = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage( "C:\\TEMP\file.gif" );

also, since you are using canvas i guess you are using AWT and not swing.
if u ecide to switch to swing then u can use the class called ImageIcon. only needs a filename in its constructor.
ImageIcon x=new ImageIcon("file name");
