If your trying to drop your image into some sort of input you could try this. I used this to upload files with selenium. 

WebElement inputField = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='MyInputField']");

inputField.sendKeys("path to image");

Hope this helps.

You would not be able to do this using selenium. The selenium bindings have access to the browser instance (the WebDriver) but to nothing outside of it.
