I installed it on my site and it works good, but when I save the article it creates another node beside the article with just a picture in it, that is so confusing, I am not sure why this is happening

it is hapenning because image.module, employs the idea that images are "nodes", which allows images to be expands like any other node. Thus you have the node you are attaching the image to and the node that the image itself is held in.

If you don't want the image.nodes to be published to the front page, simply edit the content type, expand the publishing options, and remove the promote to frontpage checkmark.

previous nodes may have to be edited and resaved for the new settings to take effect.

Where do the image nodes show up? On what page?

Note that the whole idea of the image module is that (a) you can use taxonomy to categorize the image nodes in galleries etc like you would do with nodes, and (b) that it contains everything you need for your images in one package. It can't be used without image nodes -- they are its basic element.

The most popular alternative to set up the same functionality is to use the following modules:
http://drupal.org/project/imagefield
http://drupal.org/project/filefield
http://drupal.org/project/imageapi
http://drupal.org/project/cck
http://drupal.org/project/views

If you want something much simpler instead, try
http://drupal.org/project/imce
