Some problems creating/saving images

Question

What I want to do is create an image from multiple sources (a composite of 3-4 .jpg files) and save it to a file. I wanted to start off simple. I tried to create a bufferedimage, load a single .jpg file into it, and then save it. All I get is a black .jpg in the end. Any ideas?
public class buffTest {
     public static void main(String args[]){
          Image myImage;
          BufferedImage buffImage = new BufferedImage(100, 100, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
          Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
          myImage = toolkit.getImage("1.jpg");
          Graphics2D g = buffImage.createGraphics();
          g.drawImage(myImage, 0, 0, null);
          RenderedImage rendImage = buffImage;
          try {
                  File file = new File("newimage.jpg");
                  ImageIO.write(rendImage, "jpg", file);
          catch (IOException e) {}
}

Answer 1

Try reading the image using ImageIO.read(...) instead of toolkit.getImage(...)
