Creating BufferedImage from Image

I've figured out one way to create a BufferedImage from an Image, but I'm sure it's not the best way.Image im = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(files.getAbsolutePath());
JLabel jl = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(im));
BufferedImage bim = new BufferedImage(im.getWidth(null), im.getHeight(null), BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_INDEXED);
Graphics g = bim.getGraphics();
jl.paint(bim.getGraphics());
This works, but I'm sure there has to be a better/easier way. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
m

close, the best way is this...
public BufferedImage createBufferedImage(Image img)
BufferedImage bimg = new BufferedImage(img.getWidth(null),img.getHeight(null),BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);//or whatever type is appropriate
bimg.getGraphics().drawImage(img,0,0,null);
return bimg;
}

Illustrator script to create symbols from images in folder

Creating bufferedimage from scene in different resolution than the Canvas?

Is it possible to create a bufferedimage from a Canvas, but with a higher resolution without loosing image quality?
Need to take high-quality screenshots of the 3d-scene.
Thanks.

I'm trying to back up and simultaneously organize my photos from my Mac OS 10.8.5 by dragging groups of photos from iPhoto to an external HD.
One more thought - if you want to backup your photos, why not simply copy your iPhoto Library to the external drive? That would save your photos as well as the work you invested in editing and tagging them.
If you do the backup by storing only the photos on your external drive, you need to export all edited photos twice - first the original photo like described in Old Toad's screenshot, and then the edited version as well, or you will lose your editing work, if you need your backup.
Copying the iPhoto Library would save all in one, without too much trouble.
Your second goal, reorganizing, could be done directly in iPhoto.

Create thumnail from image

Can we create thumbnail from a image in Oracle 11g database?

The image is stored as blob secure file in oracle 11g database.
What is the difference between blob and ORDImage?
Can I create thumbnail from a image and store it in the database?

Creating BufferedImage from int[] (not RGB's)

Hi,
I have an int[] that contains how many intersections occur between each pixel and a series of overlapping rectangles. So the array would look like this:
int [] intersections = { 0,1,1,1,1,0,2,4,4...etc} each number representing the number of times each pixel intersects a rectangle.
What I would like to do is create a bufferedImage where each pixel in the image is a color based on the number of intersections from the array. 0 intersections is transparent, 1 intersection is a blue pixel , 2 intersections is green etc.
I implemented it first looping through the array and painting a 1X1 rectangle colored according to the number of intersections but it is slow. Can I use a ColorModel for this (never used one)?. If so, what is a good method to convert these integers that represent the number of intersections to the corresponding color in a BufferedImage? The maximum number of intersections would be far fewer than 256, probably in the range of 10-50. I would also like to create the image in grayscale, the larger number of intersections getting darker and as hues of one color where an index of 0 would be transparent and as the number of intersections got larger the color gets darker. It all works the way I did it but it is way too slow. Will a ColorModel do transparent pixels? Is MemorySourceImage a good way to do this? Any ideas?
Thanks very much!
Paul

You're more or less describing a IndexColorModel, except the data bank is usually a byte[]:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class IndexColorModelTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int w = 300, h = 200;
        BufferedImage bi = createImage(w, h, createData(w, h));
        JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(bi));
        label.setOpaque(true);
        label.setBackground(Color.RED);
        final JFrame f = new JFrame("IndexColorModelTest");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.getContentPane().add(label);
        f.pack();
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run() {
                f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                f.setVisible(true);
    static byte[] createData(int w, int h) {
        byte[] data = new byte[w*h];
        new Random().nextBytes(data);
        return data;
    static BufferedImage createImage(int w, int h, byte[] data) {
        //create a color model with grays
        int SIZE = 256;
        byte[] gray = new byte[SIZE];
        for(int i=0; i<256; ++i)
            gray[i] = (byte) i;
        ColorModel cm = new IndexColorModel(8, SIZE, gray, gray, gray, 0); //0 is transparent pixel
        DataBuffer db = new DataBufferByte(data, w*h);
        WritableRaster r = Raster.createInterleavedRaster(db, w, h, w, 1, new int[]{0}, null);
        return new BufferedImage(cm, r, false, null);

Javascript to create vector from image and save as eps

Hi,
I started writing a script which open all images in a folder and i need to turn those into vectors.
How do i write the following in JavaScript:
Open the JPG file
Select the image layer/object
Create a vector from the image using the Image Trace for high fidelity
Reduce the new vector objec size by %50.
save as eps
any help with any of the stages would be very helpful.
thank you

PERFECT!!!!!!
This is exactly what I was going to build. No need to create when it is already done.
Thank you very much.

Unusual Bug when creating pdf from image files

Hi I have a very mindboggling problem which I cant seem to get my head around.
basically I am trying to create a pdf using a large amount of image files, these images are scans of pages of a book. so I have been trying to create a pdf file from these images, and everytime i try, it all looks ok except for one page which comes up smaller in size than the rest which is a big problem and very unusual. If I change the view of acrobat so that it shows two pages at a time then this is clearly visable where one page is normal and the page next to it is like a third of the size. Ive checked the image file properties for that page and they are more or less the same as the rest, the dimensions of the image file too, but when I add it into a PDF it seems to shrink in size, any ideas as to why? any help would be much appreciated! (and I hope what I said made sense lol )
Thanks
Nav

Hi Davew000
Can you please tell the steps you are doing to create the PDF ?
Thanks,
Tanvi

Creating ImageIcon from Image is very slow

Hi I have a program which reads a number of files which may contain (amongst other things) image data in various formats such as JPG.I read scale this down into an image object fine, and then I want to display a small version of it on screen so I put the scale dimage into an ImageIcon which i display later using a JLabel.
Anyway it runs very slow , the funny thing is using JProbe Ive tracked the problem down to creation of the ImageIcon constructor, the actual thumbnail image creation is very quick.
Why does ImageIcon take so long or is there a simple way of displaying the image in a Swing Application
without using JLabel.
BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(new DataInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(imageData)));
Image thumbnaiImage = image.getScaledInstance(20,20Image.SCALE_FAST);
ImageIcon thumbnail     = new ImageIcon(thumbnailImage);

If you're not too picky about the image quality (and I see you're using SCALE_FAST), you can set the
source subsampling on your ImageReadParam so that you never construct the large image: you start
with the thumbnail.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.imageio.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class AllThumbs {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
        String prefix = "http://www3.us.porsche.com/english/usa/carreragt/modelinformation/experience/desktop/bilder/icon";
        String suffix = "_800x600.jpg";
        JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,3));
        for(int i=1; i<9; ++i) {
            try {
                p.add(getThumb(new URL(prefix + i + suffix), 200, 150));
            } catch (IOException e) {
                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        JFrame f = new JFrame("AllThumbs");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.getContentPane().add(p);
        f.pack();
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
    public static JLabel getThumb(URL url, int maxWidth, int maxHeight) throws IOException {
        String suffix = getSuffix(url);
        Iterator readers = ImageIO.getImageReadersBySuffix(suffix);
        if (!readers.hasNext())
            throw new IOException("No reader for suffix " + suffix);
        ImageReader reader = (ImageReader) readers.next();
        reader.setInput(ImageIO.createImageInputStream(url.openStream()), true, true);
        int w = reader.getWidth(0), h = reader.getHeight(0);
        int subsampling = Math.max(1, Math.max(w/maxWidth, h/maxHeight));
        ImageReadParam param = reader.getDefaultReadParam();
        param.setSourceSubsampling(subsampling, subsampling, 0, 0);
        BufferedImage image = reader.read(0, param);
        String path = url.getPath();
        String text = path.substring(1+path.lastIndexOf('/'));
        JLabel label = new JLabel(text, new ImageIcon(image), SwingConstants.CENTER);
        label.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
        label.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.BOTTOM);
        label.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5,5,5,5));
        return label;
    public static String getSuffix(URL url) throws IOException {
        String path = url.getPath();
        int dot = path.lastIndexOf('.');
        if (dot == -1)
            throw new IOException("No . in " + path);
        return path.substring(1+dot);
}It is also possible for there to be thumbnail images stored in an image file. (These thumbnails
don't even have to be related to the main image.) ImageIO has methods to read these directly,
so if you have control over your image files you can create them with thumbnails in place.

Unable to create cd from Image file

I downloaded the Solaris 8 for Intel, unzipped the files. I have been unsuccessful creating an image file for the file sol-8-1_01-fcs-bin-ia-v1. I have tried various CD writing applications.
I was able to create images from the other files.
Thanks

You are not supposed to create an image file from the unzipped data. These unzipped files are image
files! You just have to rename them using the proper file extension so that your CD-R burning software
recognizes them as cd image files. (common extension are .ISO or .RAW; check with your CD recording
software)

Any applications to batch create qts from image sequences.

I've got about 15 tiff image sequences that I've got to creates qts of. QTPro does a great job, but it would be great if I could just drag all the folders to an application that would do all the grunt work for me (hey I know, I'm a lazy so and so and this kind of task happens every month or so).

I am sure this is something an Apple Script could do.
I had someone create something for me recently to do a similar thing. Afraid I cant help, you would need to ask arounda to see if someone can compile one for you
theres also an Apple Script discussion here:

Trying to Create Cone from Image

I am attempting to take a circular image (a logo of something) and edit it so that it can be printed and turned into a small cone. I have spent HOURS researching this and cannot seem to find the the problem. I've followed the steps below (found on a tutorial at another website) and the gap (where the circle gets slid under itself to create the cone shape) is so small. I have messed around with it since this morning and am at my wit's end. Thank you, in advance, for any assistance!
Let's consider my avatar as the original image. I make sure it is cropped into a circle.
Then in photoshop, I do Filter->Distort->Polar coordinates->Polar to rectangular:
Then, I resize the contents (but not the container [e.g. select all, edit->transform->scale]) of the image horizontally. The percentage I reduce is the percentage of degrees I will remove:
Finally, I go back to polar coordinates, and retrim as a circle: (OP: I don't know what they mean by "retrim as a circle," though, so I stop after selecting "rectangular to polar")
Wrapping the image around the removed wedge is an exercise left to the reader.

Thank you for your reply, Nancy! I actually want to print this and then "assemble" it into a cone.
Here is the original tutorial. The original person was able to accomplish exactly what I want...I just can't figure out where I'm going wrong!

Creating Outline From Image

Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to create an outline out of the image, instead of manually tracing with a pen, is it possible in Illustrator using some plugins to create the outline?
The image I'd like to do so with is this one:
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc1b233iBE1qerx9uo1_500.jpg
Basically would like the camo pieces to be outline one by one separately.
Thank you.

Sorry for the brevity.
Make your tracing panel to these settings:
Then click on the Expand button.
Then Ungroup.
Then, draw a marquee or select on the edge where the next screen shot shows.
What will be selected is the outline of what would have been the White fill...then delete it.
Your pieces are all individual. You can select by color and group each color individually if desired. If you don't know how to do this, please look in the help. But in brief, select one colored item, Select menu, Same, Fill Color. This will make changing the color of all like-colored items easy.
