I am glad to be using this program POV-Ray. I am trying to input a gif or a
bmp into this box so it looks like photograph. What I have so far spells
out like this:
box {                  // this box fits exactly in view
  <-0.5, -0.5, 0>, <0.5, 0.5, 0>
  texture {
    pigment {
      agate
      color_map {
        [0.0 color rgb 0.0 ]
        [1.0 color rgb 1.0 ]
      }
    }
    finish {
      ambient 1.0
      diffuse 0.0
    }
  }
}
I am not to experienced when I refer to matters such as these. If there was
a book to read and learn from I would purchase it at a book store.

The install comes complete with extensive documentations. Read them, it's time 
well spent. It also include a good tutorial. Work your way trough, entering the 
examples yourself. Experiment with those tutorial scenes, changing one thing at 
a time and see what appens. Some more time well spent.
If you are on windows, click the 2 green and red "?" buttons. They lead you to 
the tutorial and general informations help screens.
At any time, you can click any keyword and press the "F1" key to view 
information about that keyword, from what it does to it's syntax and percularty.
