Rudimentary photo browser... trouble with repaint

Question

Hi folks,
I'm working on a simple little practice app that allows browsing of photos by clicking on two buttons ("next pic" and "previous pic"). I'm having a problem with the JPanel in which I'm trying to display my photos. Whenever my buttons fire the changePic method, I see the new photo, but it is drawn over the previous photos (i.e. they are not erased). Could someone please advise me on how to keep this from happening. Also, how would I go about making each image (regardless of size) centered in the JPanel?
public class PhotoPanel extends JPanel {
     Image image;
     public PhotoPanel (Image aImage) {
          image = aImage;
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this);
     public void changePic(Image aImage) {
          image = aImage;
          this.repaint();
}Thanks!

Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
There is no need to override a JPanel for this. Simply add a JLabel to a panel and the use setIcon(...) when you want to change the image.
