I got two cases with images I wish to use within a document.
One is a logo, I would like to use it in the front page, at the top-right corner.
How do I do that?
The second are a drawings which I would like it to be (horizontally) centralized, and in between the paragraphs I have placed it. Point is at the final result, figures are positioned sometimes a paragraph or two later.
How can I enforce them to be exactly where I want them?
The position of float environments are discussed very often here at tex stackexchange. Some related questions are:
Whatever I think the biggest problem is the understanding of \includegraphics. The command doesn't require a floating environment. It's a simple "token" inside TeX. So to place a picture in the top right corner you can use standard methods like \raggedright, \hfill etc. Maybe you can also use scrpage2 or fancyhdr. If you want to set a figure at a special place you can also use packages like textpos or atbegshi.
The great package adjustbox can handle the positioning very easy. You can simple use:
Load the package with the option export:
\usepackage[export]{adjustbox}
Then you can use \includegraphics as follows:
\includegraphics[<other options>,right=<optional width, normally \linewidth>]{<file name>}
\usepackage[export]{adjustbox} and then using \includegraphics[<other options>,right=<optional width, normally \linewidth>]{<image file>}.

\begin{center} ... \end{center}to make it centered. As for the real figures, follow the Torbjørn's link. – yo' Mar 17 '12 at 19:01centerfor images. It is intended for text only. See Should I use center or centering for figures? and When should we use \begin{center} instead of \centering?. – Martin Scharrer Apr 14 '12 at 16:15\begin{figure}[h]\begin{center}..., but only\begin{center}, it gives better spacing than\centering. The thing is, images shouldn't be places just "between paragraphs" so he should of course say\begin{figure}[...]\centering...– yo' Apr 14 '12 at 19:32centerwill add vertical spacing, which is normally not wanted for images, especially not insidefigure. Of course, if you want such a vertical spacing than it might be ok. I would add the skip manually. Myadjustboxpackage can help with both:margin=0pt <vertical skip above and below>,center– Martin Scharrer Apr 14 '12 at 19:57centerfor a logo without hesitation and get what I would need. I could of course use\centering. Just a note: now I re-read the question and it seems that OP wants it flushed right anyways... – yo' Apr 14 '12 at 20:33
