Thread: Displaying an Image Problem

Hi, i'm trying to make a little applet where you can load a image (via File Browsing), edit it to your liking (with a preview) and save it again. But for some reason the preview is not working. Here's most of my code (file browsing and preview image):

package DesaturateApplet;
 
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.*;
 
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class ImageBrowser extends JFrame{
 
    //====================================================== fields
    JTextField   _fileNameTF  = new JTextField(15);
    JTextField   _wordCountTF = new JTextField(4);
    JFileChooser _fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
 
    //================================================= constructor
    ImageBrowser() {
    	String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");
 
        _fileNameTF.setEditable(false);
        _wordCountTF.setEditable(false);
 
        JPanel content = new JPanel();
        content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        content.add(new JLabel("File Name:" + newline));
        content.add(_fileNameTF);
        content.add(new JLabel(newline + "Preview:"));
 
 
        JMenuBar menubar  = new JMenuBar();
        JMenu    fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
        JMenuItem openItem = new JMenuItem("Open...");
        openItem.addActionListener(new OpenAction());
 
        menubar.add(fileMenu);
        fileMenu.add(openItem);
 
        this.setJMenuBar(menubar);
        this.setContentPane(content);
        this.setTitle("Select a Image File");
        this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        this.pack();                      // Layout components.
        this.setLocationRelativeTo(null); // Center window.
    }
    public static String fileimage;
 
    ///////////////////////////////////////////////////// OpenAction
    class OpenAction implements ActionListener {
 
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
 
            int retval = _fileChooser.showOpenDialog(ImageBrowser.this);
            if (retval == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
 
                File file = _fileChooser.getSelectedFile();
 
 
                _fileNameTF.setText(file.getName());
                File filetemp = _fileChooser.getSelectedFile();
                String fileimage = filetemp.getName();
            }
 
        }
    }
 
    //========================================================= main
    static String path = fileimage;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
        JFrame window = new ImageBrowser();
        window.setVisible(true);
        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File(path));
        ImageBrowser test = new ImageBrowser(image);
 
        window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        window.add(new JScrollPane(test));
        window.setSize(400,400);
        window.setLocation(200,200);
        window.setVisible(true);
    }
    private static void showIcon(BufferedImage image) {
        ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image);
        JLabel label = new JLabel(icon, JLabel.CENTER);
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, label, "icon", -1);
    }
    BufferedImage image;
    Dimension size = new Dimension();
 
    public ImageBrowser(BufferedImage image) {
        this.image = image;
        size.setSize(image.getWidth(), image.getHeight());
    }
    static String imgfile = fileimage;
 
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        int x = (getWidth() - size.width)/2;
        int y = (getHeight() - size.height)/2;
        g.drawImage(image, x, y, this);
    }
 
    public Dimension getPreferredSize() { return size; }
 
 
 
}
