title: Image transformation results in a red image?
body: <p>I am trying to transform an image by flipping it horizontally and resizing it. The problem is that when the transformation is done the picture's colors are all weird, it has gotten this reddish tone. Is it possible to fix this somehow, I think I read somewhere that it might be some bug in the AWT library but I am not sure? </p>
  
  <p>Here is the code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.awt.Graphics2D;
  import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
  import java.awt.image.AffineTransformOp;
  import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
  import java.io.File;
  import java.io.IOException;
  import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
  
  public class LocalImageSizeFlip {
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      BufferedImage img = null;
  
      try {
          img = ImageIO.read(new File("C:\\picture.jpg"));
          AffineTransform tx = AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(1, -1);
          tx.translate(0, -img.getHeight(null));
          AffineTransformOp op = new AffineTransformOp(tx, AffineTransformOp.TYPE_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR);
          img = op.filter(img, null);
          img = resize(img, 100, 75);
          File newFile = new File("newPicture.jpg");
          ImageIO.write(img, "JPEG", newFile);
      } catch (IOException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }
  }
  
  private static BufferedImage resize(BufferedImage image, int width, int height) {
      BufferedImage resizedImage = new BufferedImage(width, height,
      BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
      Graphics2D g = resizedImage.createGraphics();
      g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, width, height, null);
      g.dispose();
      return resizedImage;
      }   
  }
  </code></pre>
