var
  MyRS: TResourceStream;
begin
  try
    MyRS:=TResourceStream.Create(HInstance, 'HELP', RT_RCDATA);
    Image1.Picture.LoadFromFile('example.jpg');
    if Image1.Picture.Graphic is TJPEGImage then
      TJPEGImage(Image1.Picture.Graphic).LoadFromStream(MyRS);
  finally
    MyRS.Free;
  end;
end;
