i was able to achieve it in png mode
here is how i did it for others who might have that problem
import java.awt.image.RenderedImage;
import java.awt.image.renderable.ParameterBlock;
import javax.media.jai.JAI;
import com.sun.media.jai.*;
public class test {
public static void ImageToPNG()
String inFile = "your tiff here";
String outFile = "your png result filename here";
// Load the image.
ParameterBlock pb = (new ParameterBlock()).add(inFile);
RenderedImage src = JAI.create("fileload", pb);
RenderedImage transformedImage;
// Scale the image to half its size in each direction
ParameterBlock pb2 = new ParameterBlock();
pb2.addSource(src); // The source is "image"
pb2.add(.5f);
pb2.add(.5f);
pb2.add(0.0f);
pb2.add(0.0f);
transformedImage = JAI.create("scale", pb2, null);
// Store the image as a JFIF file.
pb = (new ParameterBlock()).addSource(src).add(outFile).add("PNG");
JAI.create("filestore", pb);
System.out.println("file resized and created");
public static void main(String [] args) {
     ImageToPNG();
}
