I have been looking at rich snippets in google. Google lists the following schema.org items as being supported:
I have noticed that in search results, Google displays Rich Snippets for Article and BlogPosting. When clicking on the link and using Firebug to check the source code, I can see that the schema.org being used is indeed BlogPosting.
I've tried adding BlogPosting to my sample code and using Google's Rich Snippet tool to check the results but I cant get an image to display. I am using the following code:
<html>
<body> etc etc....
<div itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting">
<img itemprop="image" href="/images/test.jpg" item>
</div>
...
Although it doesn't show the image in the Rich Snippet tool, it does recognize that an image has been set and displays the url text in the "Extracted rich snippet data from the page" box. I have tried using the SoftwareApplication schema and then I get an image to show.
My question is: Does the Rich Snippet tool restrict the images it shows based on the schemas listed above, and actually once in the live search results, Rich Snippets for Article and BlogPostings will be shown?

Google has introduced Rich Snippet for Articles, so you can now use articles snippet for your article/blog post.
See this official document from Google on implementing rich snippet for your articles: https://developers.google.com/structured-data/rich-snippets/articles
And as far as your image issue is concerned, try to apply the snippet code as per the document above and it should show the image. I tested it and all worked fine.
