Answer 1

Oh sorry my method and the other method need to have the pixels from the Image passed to them which you get my using pixelgrabber:
//create width and height variables from image
          int w = img.getWidth(this);
          int h = img.getHeight(this);
          //retrive picture from image
          int[] pix = new int[w * h];
          PixelGrabber pg = new PixelGrabber(img, 0, 0, w, h, pix, 0, w);
          try{ pg.grabPixels();
          } catch (InterruptedException ioe) {
               System.err.println("Interrupted");
          if ((pg.getStatus() & ImageObserver.ABORT) != 0) {
          System.err.println("image fetch aborted or errored");
          }
