Create a new texture, call it the name of your 'plakate' intended.
Create a pigment. From the pigment line, create an imagemap. Here you
are. On the upper right of the Texture Editor, you see the line to
fill in the name of the bitmap to use. You can use .gif, .tga, .png,
which is an absolutely lossless replacement for .jpg, and possibly a
few other types. It should be in the docs mentioned. Then you have the
choice to map it spherical, planar, cylindrical, toroidal. The 'air
force' example would be planar. Just check out all the features.
