There is a lot to know in this area. ImageIO is good and the AWT is okay. JAI is the up to date Java standard. Unless you just want to grab someone else's code, which is okay, you have a lot of learning to do. There are numerous good books and tutorials around.
I have built classes to resize, crop, border, add text, grayscale, convolve, overlay, swtich between types (gif, jpeg, etc), etc. A lot of what I have done began with studying the contents of Abey Mullassery's image tags in the commons taglib library. I suggest you start there. He has a Poor Mans Imaging Wrapper which, contary to the nomative adjective rule on hyphens, is called the "Poor Man's Imaging Wrapper" or PMIW. Look at that for cool solutions for AWT, Java2D and JAI. He is also very helpful and I hope to add to his code out of gratefulness soon. (He is also very busy, so be advised on that.) Applications are what I build for a living, so this is not presently available for free use. However, this application will soon be on the web for the free use of anyone and everyone. So, if you are thinking of a commercial product be aware that.
