What type of BufferedImage is needed for 24 bit image data

Question

Hello, i am using an image processing api, i have a 24 bit image data, i want to form a BufferedImage and set its pixel values with my data such as
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(w, h, what type?);
WritableRaster raster = image.getRaster();
int[] imgpixels = ((DataBufferInt) raster.getDataBuffer()).getData();
for (int i = 0; i < image.getHeight() * image.getWidth(); i++)
imgpixels[i] = ((myArray).getRed()) << 16 | ((myArray[i]).getGreen()) << 8 | ((myArray[i]).getBlue());
Then i will save the Buf. image to file as png. So what type of BufferedImage do i need?
Regards.

Answer 1

what is the reason when i read a 24 bit png image...it shows the type as 0 (TYPE_CUSTOM) ?
From the the Field Detail section for the TYPE_CUSTOM field in BufferedImage: the image type is not recognized.
You could make a new BufferedImage with TYPE_INT_RGB, or TYPE_INT_ARGB if the image has or will have transparent pixels, and copy the TYPE_CUSTOM image into it. Then you can manipulate/process the new image.
