To be sure that the image was copied go to System Center Configuration Manager>Site Database>Computer Management>Operating system Deployment>Operating system Images>Image Name(this is the image that you want to check)>Package Status>Package Status>Site Name(this is your site)
Here you will see All distribution points assigned to the image and their status.
The Status will say Installed once the copying is finished.

The image is ready for use.
The next step is to create a Task Sequence.
