java and image processing - laszlo read this

Hi Laszlo

I'm a devx member and u had replied to my question on how to digitize an image to manipulate the pixels. I'm planning to use JAI(Java Advanced Imaging) for the project. But if i were to do the project without it, would u say that there is no need to sample and quantize an image in java? Can i just use the PixelGrabber class to access pixels and manipulate them? Does that mean that images in Java are automatically digitized and stored? I'm confused, pls help. Thanks.

Regards,
gayatri

For image manipulation, I would recommend looking at the java.awt.image package.

I dont know if it helps but I wrote something in C++ that can manipulate the pixels of a 24bit .bmp??

Just a thought..

I'm afraid I haven't a clue. The most I've actually done with images was an applet for selecting and viewing images from a database based on criteria (ten years ago, in an applet, using drawImage()), and one failed attempt in the late 90s to implement LZW decompression to try to support gif89a. Ah, Java 1.0 - those were the days. Gah! heh
