ImageIo: reading and writing a jpeg corrupts the image

Sometimes, ImageIo manages to read an image wrong. If I simply read() and write() the
image without any transformations, the image writtten will have its colors all wrong. The
output image format here doesn't matter.
An example image is: http://bram.name/~brama/pics/test.jpg
And output after reading and writing it: http://bram.name/~brama/pics/test_output.jpg
Is the image io lib to blame, or is it a broken image? The image displays fine in other programs.

Use this code to load the image.
From my experience it is much more stable and also faster.
My guess is that the problem is related to the ICC profile embeded in the JPEG.
JPEGImageDecoder decoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder(new URL("http://www.stack.nl/~brama/pics/imageio.jpg").openStream());
BufferedImage image = decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();

When I use Preview,Photo Mechanic and Pages, all JPEG or RAW images appear corrupted. I thought my hard drive was failing and replaced it and migrated everything over but the problem still exists. Any idea what is going on?

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

JPEG file reading wierd bug using ImageIO.read and buffer strategy

OK I have a slightly (!) bizzare problem. I have a program in Java 1.5.0 /5.0 which is fundamentally using a full screen exclusive mode window to display images loaded from files using ImageIO.read(file). I am getting the graphics context of the buffer strategy used on the FSEM window, and then drawing onto that the image that I have loaded using graphics.drawImage(ImageObj, 0,0, null).
Now ordinarily this works fine, but I have (after much head scratching) discovered that certain specific jpeg images cause me problems. If I load one of these jpeg images, then it loads in with ImageIO.read fine and I get no errors, but the program locks up on the drawImage(ImageObj, 0,0,null) command in the rendering engine. It doesn't crash, but the CPU usage goes to 100% and stays there, and the method never returns. The image is never displayed on screen obviously, as the program never gets to call bufferStrategy.show() for these images. I have to forcibly terminate the VM to get out of the program.
Does anyone know what is going on here? Is there some extraneous meta data in the dodgy jpeg files that is doing this? I don't know what 'extras' you can have stored on a jpeg that would cause this behaviour, and I don't know what restrictions there are in the jpeg file reader in Java.
Its not a major bother to me (now I figured out whats causing it!), as I can just resave a duff jpeg in my image editing app and it will work fine. I just don't know whether I should submit it as a bug or not, and also I thought it would be useful for others to know of this strange behaviour - if I had known about it I would have saved myself about 8 hours!
Thanks
Alex

Oh I forgot to add - I am resizing the images to the screen size using
Image.getScaledInstance(deviceBounds.width,
deviceBounds.height,
Image.SCALE_AREA_AVERAGING);
and then drawing the scaled image onto the graphics context.

File importer detected an inconsistency in the file stucture of (file name). Reading and writing this file's metadata (XMP) has been disabled.

I have duplicated a project to work on another computer. The project opens fine but when I import new footage/audio files I get this message. "File importer detected an inconsistency in the file stucture of (file name). Reading and writing this file's metadata (XMP) has been disabled." Then I can't play my timeline and Premier Pro crashes. I have to force quit and restart my computer to continue working. What does this error really mean? How do you rectify?
Our workflow requires that we duplicate projects to make updates because we are frequently revising but need to keep original project unchanged and intact.

I have a similar issue and message , but occurs when I import AVI clips from OnLocation CS4 to Premier Pro CS4.

I updated Itunes today to the latest version. Windows 7 64bit. None of my drivers work and get an error when itunes starts, about registry setting for reading and writing dvds and cds missing. Anyone else have the same issue. I downloaded itunes again, reinstalled still have same issue.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Problem on reading and writing from from a *.txt file

I get Problem on reading and writing from from a *.txt file. The following is the read() method...
The software said the DataInputStream is depreciated. Can anyone help me please?
public void read()
    File file = new File("C://Documents and Settings//Charles//My Documents//Brunel//EE2065//Assignment and Lab//Assignment 4 and Lab 4//data.txt");
    FileInputStream in = null;
    String str = "";
    try
      in = new BufferedReader(file);
      //in = new FileInputStream(file);
      for(;;)
        str = new BufferedReader(in).readLine();
        //str = new DataInputStream(in).readLine();
        if(str == null)
          break;
        System.out.print(str);
    in.close();
    catch(IOException e)
        System.err.println("execution error: " +e);
}

Thank you for your reply. I have made some change. However, there is an incompetable type found error.
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));The following are all of the code.
public void read()
    File file = new File("C://Documents and Settings//Charles//My Documents//Brunel//EE2065//Assignment and Lab//Assignment 4 and Lab 4//data.txt");
    FileInputStream in = null;
    //BufferedReader in = null;
    String str = "";
    try
      in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
      //in = new FileInputStream(file);
      for(;;)
        BufferedReader Bstr = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
        //str = new BufferedReader(in).readLine();
        //str = new DataInputStream(in).readLine();
        if(str == null)
          break;

Switcher - Reading and Writing External IEEE HDD's

Greetings,
i'm trying to read and write with my external ieee drive on windows and the mac pro. it's format is ntfs, and is read only on the mac pro.
i am admin and can't seem to change the permissions to read / write.
the over all idea is i need to go back and forth between operating systems reading and writing from both sides of the house.
here's a snapshot.

Unfortunately, no. In order to convert the drive to FAT32 it must be re-partitioned which is a destructive process.

Quickest method for reading and writing files

Hi
I need help regarding file operations.(Reading and Writing). Currently I am using BufferedReader and BufferedWriter to read and write files. But the files (XML) are very huge files(from 30 -50 mb). This is slowing the application to a great extent. Is there any other approach to perform the above mentioned operations on XML files in a fast manner.
Thank You
Mansoor.

Lightweight library for reading and writing mp3-tags

Hi,
I'm currently evaluating libraries for reading and writing mp3-tags. All the projects I found so far where not maintained for a couple of years.
My question:
Is there currently a library, which one could call standard for this purpose
Cheers
Jonny

All the projects I found so far where not maintained for a couple of years.It may either be dead, or it may be so finished and free of bugs that no maintenance is needed anymore.
If you're occurring problems with it and if it is open source you can always consider taking a fork for own development.

Very slow painting while reading and writing doubles into file

for 15MB length file i = 7662080
for 50MB length file i = 12414368
Part of Code for writing into file follows like this:
try{
fos = new FileOutputStream("Angel.txt");
File f = new File("Angel.txt");
     if(f.length() >=4)
     f.delete();
fos = new FileOutputStream("Angel.txt");
dos = new DataOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(fos,1000000));
int x=0;
double y_last, y_new;
for(int j=0 ;j<i ;j++)
if(some condition)
y_new = ....;
try{
//previously in vectors
y_last = y_new;
vect.add(new Line2D.Double(x, y_last, x, y_new)_;
dos.writeDouble(y_new);
     }catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
dos.close();
fos.close();
x++;
}catch(Exception excp){System.out.println(excp);}
part of code for reading from file follows like this:
public void paint(Graphics g)
try{
     double y1, y2 =0;
     Line2D.Double doub;
     raf = new RandomAccessFile("Angel.txt","r");
     dis = new DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(raf.getFD(),1000000)));
     raf.seek((rect.x*8));
     for (int i = 0/any value; (i < value as per choice); i++)
          g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(0)); //2
          y1 = y2;
     y2 =dis.readDouble();
          doub=new Line2D.Double(i,y1,i,y2);
          g2.draw(doub);
dis.close();
     raf.close();
}catch(Exception excp){System.out.println(excp);}
I tried using Object Streams but NotSerializable Exception is thrown as Line2D.Double objects
are not serialized.
Any idea to make reading and writing into file specially from MB files faster is appreciated.

Why are you reading in the file in the paint method ?
Create your data once before painting.
I think you should explain what is your goal and what behavior you want.

Reading and writing a ByteArray

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/dev/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7d54.html

I believe that the example of Reading and Writing Objects needs a rewrite
First, the attempt to use comments to interleave a Flex-ified example with a Flash example of the uses of the ByteArray Class is a shortcut that ultimately fails. Take the time to create two, separately valid examples for the two different frameworks.
Second, the interlinea comments show a rather poor example of how to write clean code, and are entirely confusing to the person you you trying to help learn how to use your library. Look at the declaration of a variable called outFile:File, a comment about some function that is to be declared somewhere with the same name, outFile(), and indeed, if this code were to compile -- which I am sure it could not -- the compiler would see that you try to invoke an outFile() function. No one gets through an interview who writes code that way.
Third, I am not sure you understand how the readBytes and writeBytes methods work. In the upper example, where an order is being written to the file system, the writeBytes method uses data.length correctly. At the point in time that it is used, the XML object will have been written into the bytes:ByteArray, so it will have a proper length.
On the other hand, in the second half of the example, where the readBytes method similarly passes data.length, the reader has to be very lucky to note that at that point in time data.length will have a value of zero. The inBytes:ByteArray was only instantiated, not populated with anything, as, indeed it should not be, at that point in the logic flow. Most importantly, when the program does need to readBytes, there is no way for the program to know in advance what the length of the byte stream coming in from the file system will be. Your example would be more correct, and could make a useful point in showing that readBytes (data) is the correct way to pass the arguments because the default behavior will then be used and the default behavior will be to make data whatever length it needs to be in order to hold the content from the file system. The program can know the value of data.length after the read has taken place, but not before.

I installed Firefox 3.6. Since then, I am unable to open pdf documents in Firefox. I get a black page. I tried opening the same document in Internet Explorer. It worked fine. I recently installed Nuance's pdf reader and thought that might be the problem.

Every time Firefox opened

How about if you right click on the PDF and select Save Link As..., and then open it locally from within Reader? Does it work ok then? That might be a workaround until the issue within the browser is resolved.

Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.
