How to load big images in Java?

Question

Hello all,
is there any possibility to load a big images about 200-500 Mb with Java Graphics API ?
This code throws OutOfMemory Exception.
        try {
            BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File("testpic1.bmp"));
            int w = img.getWidth(null);
            int h = img.getHeight(null);
            bi = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
            Graphics g = bi.getGraphics();
            g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Image could not be read");
            System.exit(1);
  protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
   g2D.drawImage(bi, null, 0, 0);
  }I can't extend memory for the JVM because of my requirement. So I have to load a picture partly as user access to it.
I am very thankful for every idea.

I try to read an image like this:
The size of the image is 10000x4000
How can I read from Buffer 6000-5700 = 300 for width and 3000-2700 = 300 for heigth?
If I do it like that
bi = new BufferedImage(6000, 3000, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
I read more, than I need.
Is there somthing like
bi = new BufferedImage(5700, 2700, 6000, 3000, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
??
