OutOfMemory while creating Images from camera's pictures

Question

Hi there,
I am trying to create a javax.microedition.lcdui.Image object from a JPG image created by the 8120 camera. So far I’ve tried simulator only. I use JDE 4.3.0.1r.
Here is a code from the body of a thread launched from the fileJournalChanged function:
FileConnection file = null;
InputStream is = null;
Image capturedImage = null;
try {
  file = (FileConnection) Connector.open("file://" + m_sImagePath, Connector.READ_WRITE);
  is = file.openInputStream();
  capturedImage = Image.createImage(is);
Well, the Image.createImage(is) throws “OutOfMemory” exception, which seems reasonable, given the 1600x1200 dimensions of the pictures captured by simulator/camera. I understand that unpacked bitmap for such an image occupies around 5MB, which seems to be too big for a system to handle when freeMemory() from java.lang.Runtime reports just over 36MB.
However, I wonder whether there is a way to get around this problem?
Since I am an inexperienced BlackBerry developer, it is quite possible that I am overlooking an alternative way of creating javax.microedition.lcdui.Image object from a 1600x1200 image captured by the BlackBerry’s camera.
Regards,
Aharon.

Steve:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Were you able at any time to load directly from your camera into iPhoto? If so, did that stop after running some software updaters?
is there a way to get iPhoto to load these into its library as if it were taking them from a camera?
As long as the image files are not located inside the iPhoto Library folder you can just drag the folder they are in into iPhoto's open Organize window and they will be imported. If they are in multiple folders then each folder will result in a new roll with those photos.
If the files are inside the iPhoto Library folder, move them to the desktop and import from there.
