Image saved in JavaFX as jpg is pink toned

Question

I want to save an Image from my ImageView to files with different resolutions. Doing it as .png results as expected. As for .jpg - I get all files pink toned.

Answer 1

I found a solution on Oracle forums. As widely discussed, the problem is in alpha-channel that needs to be excluded from the source image, targeted for .jpg save. I also rearranged my code to make it shorter. The workaround is:

// Get buffered image:
BufferedImage image = SwingFXUtils.fromFXImage(myJavaFXImage, null); 

// Remove alpha-channel from buffered image:
BufferedImage imageRGB = new BufferedImage(
    image.getWidth(), 
    image.getHeight(), 
    BufferedImage.OPAQUE); 

Graphics2D graphics = imageRGB.createGraphics();

graphics.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);

ImageIO.write(imageRGB, "jpg", new File("/mydir/foto.jpg"));

graphics.dispose();
