out = new ObjectOutputStream(fout);
out.writeObject(list);
System.out.println("object is saved");
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("error");

Answer 1

It's easier to read your code (and help) when you use the code tags in you message...
it's also helpfull to know why you are not able to do it, compiler error, or runtime error, or...
third it's best to show a StackTrace in case of an Exception, like thatcatch(Exception e)
    System.out.println("error"); // this tell nothing about the Exception
    e.printStackTrace();
}Maybe your problem is that the Image returned by ToolKit is not Serializable, you can search the internet for something like "java serializable image" for some hints... like making an ImageIcon of the image, which will be Serializable
    public ImageWrit() {
        img = new ImageIcon(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("a9.bmp"));
    }(also have a look at javax.imageio.ImageIO)
