is it possible to do so like that?

please note that after loading the images, the user can change properties in every added picture.

Answer 1

You can't have multiple images in a Windows Forms PictureBox, no.

You can create a single image from multiple images and blend them in various ways, then show that image in a PictureBox.

Or, you could overlay multiple picture boxes, using different opacity set on the PictureBox control.
