Answer 1

I didn't tried it for myself. But studying this and that page leads me to this code:

 BufferedImage im = ImageIO.read(new File("in.jpg"));
 // now manipulate image
 ...
 // now get only a part of it
 Raster raster = im.getData(new Rectangle(xOffset, yOffset, width, height));
 BufferedImage im2 = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_BGR);
 im2.setData(raster);
 ImageIO.write(im2, "jpg", new File("out.jpg"));
