import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.*;
     // in paint
     BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
     Graphics2D biContext = bi.createGraphics();
     biContext.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
     saveAsFile(bi);
public void saveAsFile(BufferedImage img) {
  //Create a fileoutputstream.
  FileOutputStream fos;
  try {
        fos = new FileOutputStream(
              "c:\\nameOfImageFileToSave.jpg");
        JPEGImageEncoder encoder =
          JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(fos);
        encoder.encode(img);
        fos.flush();
        fos.close();
        catch(FileNotFoundException e) {
             System.out.println(e);
        catch(IOException ioe) {
             System.out.println(ioe);
}//end saveAsFile
