R is case sensitive, so you need to write image, not Image.  The one 
found will be the one that is earliest on the search list (which you can 
see by running search()).

If you want to be sure to get a particular one regardless of the search 
list, prefix the name with the package name, e.g. raster::image will 
find the one in the raster package.
