Answer 1

Here is a sample code for what you are asking:

from Tkinter import Label,Tk
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import tkFileDialog
root = Tk()

path=tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(filetypes=[("Image File",'.jpg')])
im = Image.open(path)
tkimage = ImageTk.PhotoImage(im)
myvar=Label(root,image = tkimage)
myvar.image = tkimage
myvar.pack()

root.mainloop()

You will be wanting to add a button for calling the askopenfilename because right now its calling it the moment the program begins. Also you might wanna add more file extensions to filetypes
