    I'm not sure how you can read and modify the contents of a jpeg file. I think the image has to be read into an Image object which allows access to the bytes defining the pixels.
    Also I'm not sure if writing an image to a jpeg file will preserve the pixels. Some writing algorithms compress/change pixels when a jpeg file is written. You'd need to do some research or testing to see if that is the case.

    Is this the same topic: http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...tml#post103369

    Look at the BufferedImage class. It has methods for getting and setting pixels.

    I don't know the internal format of a jpeg file and have no idea how the contents of a jpeg file can be changed without passing the file through special code that does know how to read and write the bytes of jpeg files.
