Excessively Large image loading

Question

I have a program that is calling a large number of PNG files
from a separate source folder. A few of these images are far too
big (in excess of 200KB) and they refuse to load.
If the image is under 200KB (roughly), the image loads into
the imagebox. If it is higher than 200KB, the imagebox does
nothing, however, clicking any image after that, including ones
that do display, sends the file size too high and my back up
picture (TooBig.png) is loaded instead. I have tried clearing the
image loaded, but I can't seem to get it to stop loading the large
images.

Answer 1

I saved your image to e:/java/test/jpg and this code worked fine for me.import java.awt.Image;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class TestImageIO {
   void makeUI() {
      File file = new File("e:/java/test.jpg");
      Image thumb = null;
      try {
         thumb = ImageIO.read(file)
               .getScaledInstance(128, 96, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
      } catch (IOException ex) {
         ex.printStackTrace();
      JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(thumb));
      JFrame frame = new JFrame("TestImageIO");
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      frame.setSize(300, 300);
      frame.add(label);
      frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
      frame.setVisible(true);
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         public void run() {
            new TestImageIO().makeUI();
}db
