Problem in creating 1 image using differnt images

Question

Dear Fellows I want to create an image by using different images in byte array format. Images may be transparent or normal images. I want final result in byte array. I am using the following technique which is working fine but the problem with this technique is that it takes too much time to create an image. This is because I am using MediaTraker. If I delete the code of MediaTracker then program have undeterministic behavior i.e, sometimes it create the final image properly and sometimes nothing is displayed in final image.
I need some help from you. If anyone of you know the technique to draw image using different images without using mediaTracker kindly let me know.
Early replies will be appreciated
// here is the sample code which i m using for creating image
byte[] backgroundImage= // read 800 X 600 image from disk and convert it in to byte array
byte[] image1 = // read 200 X 200 image from disk and convert it in to byte array
byte[] transparentImage // read 300 X 300 transparent image from disk and convert it in to byte array
Image img=null;
Frame frame =new Frame();
frame.addNotify();
//creating BufferedImage object to store Final image
BufferedImage requiredImage= new BufferedImage(800,600,BufferedImage.SCALE_SMOOTH);
//get Graphics of BufferedImage created above
Graphics2D g=(Graphics2D) requiredImage.getGraphics();
///// begin draw back ground image
img=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(backgroundImage);
try
MediaTracker mt = new MediaTracker(frame);
mt.addImage(img, 0); // adds image with ID 0
mt.waitForID(0);
}catch(Exception myex)
myex.printStackTrace();
//draw background starting from x=0, y=0 with 800 X 600 dimentions
g.drawImage(img,0,0,800,600,null);
////////// end draw background image
////////// begin draw image1
img=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(image1);
try
MediaTracker mt = new MediaTracker(frame);
mt.addImage(img, 0); // adds image with ID 0
mt.waitForID(0);
}catch(Exception myex)
myex.printStackTrace();
//draw image1 starting from x=10, y=10 with 200 X 200 dimentions
g.drawImage(img,10,10,200,200,null);
//////////// end draw image1
//////begin transparentImage
img=Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(backData);
try
MediaTracker mt = new MediaTracker(frame);
mt.addImage(img, 0); // adds image with ID 0
mt.waitForID(0);
}catch(Exception myex)
myex.printStackTrace();
//draw transparentImage starting from x=400, y=0 with 300 X 300 dimentions
g.drawImage(img,400,0,300,300,null);
///end draw transparent image
byte []finalResult = //convert requiredImage into byte array;
