Or trying to do image processing in python?

Sure, almost the same as with Python 2 :-)
But to be a bit more specific:
++++
"""Only works if you got Python 3 installed with tkinter"""
import tkinter

IMAGE_PATH = "/path/to/image"

class Splash(object):
"Splash Screen GUI"
def __init__(self, root):
self.root = root
# No window borders and decoration
self.root.overrideredirect(True)
# Get the size of the screen
screen_width = self.root.winfo_screenwidth()
screen_height = self.root.winfo_screenheight()
# Full screen
geometry_text = "%dx%d+0+0" % (screen_width, screen_height)
self.root.geometry(geometry_text)
# Display an image
self.label = tkinter.Label(self.root)
# Only GIF and PGM/PPM supported, for more information see:
self.label._image = tkinter.PhotoImage(file=IMAGE_PATH)
# http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/photoimage.htm
self.label.configure(image = self.label._image)
self.label.pack()
# This will quit the screen after about 5 seconds
self.root.after(5000, self.root.quit)

if __name__ == '__main__':
ROOT = tkinter.Tk()
APPL = Splash(ROOT)
ROOT.mainloop()
++++

Is there a way to position image to the center screen?

Yes there is, just start reading from here:
http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/

Though because Python 3 has done some module reorganisation/renaming,
Tkinter is now called tkinter.
