hi guys, i'm trying to create a program that generates images for use as multi-screen backgrounds, i'm doing this targeted at windows (in my case, 7 so that basically i can get images to change without seeing the same image on two different screens)
in my program, i read multiple image input files and compile them into a single output image that is the total size of the desktop (including black areas not seen on screens)
my question is, what class/methods are good for cropping/resizing/pasting into a new image in java because i'm coming across so many image manipulation classes and they all seem to do one tiny thing.
i will not be modifying any of the images beyond resize or crop and putting it into a certain position in the new (initially blank) image.
code can be made available as i plan to release it at some later point for whoever may like/need it.
thank you in advance, if this question has been answered, my apologies but i DID have a look around.
