Thumbnailator Image Rotation messes the image

Question

I am trying to rotate images using Thumbnailator library. The code that I use is as shown below. It rotates the image or flips the image successfully but the color quality completely spoils. The input and output images are also shown.

package com.abk;

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.Iterator;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.imageio.ImageReader;
import javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream;

import net.coobird.thumbnailator.Thumbnails;
import net.coobird.thumbnailator.filters.Flip;
import net.coobird.thumbnailator.filters.Rotation;
import net.coobird.thumbnailator.util.exif.ExifUtils;
import net.coobird.thumbnailator.util.exif.Orientation;

public class ImageAutoRotate {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new File("314.jpg"));
            BufferedImage newImg = Rotation.RIGHT_90_DEGREES.apply(img);
            BufferedImage flipImg = Flip.HORIZONTAL.apply(img);

            File outputfile = new File("314_2.jpg");
            ImageIO.write(newImg, "jpg", outputfile);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

Resolved the issue by saving the image as a PNG image. The issue was actually caused because the image profile was being treated as CMYK while saving

The final code to resolve this issue is shown at this link

Answer 2

Had the same issue it is due to the ImageIO.write class. Following is the approach I used.

//Here imagebuffer is an array of bytes you can convert it from bufferedimage

InputStream fiStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(imageBuffer);

//Creating a file using byte array

FileUtils.writeByteArrayToFile(new File(path + "/webapps/northstar- 
primefaces-portlet/images/member/" + event.getFile().getFileName()), imageBuffer);

//Creating an output stream using the created file

OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(path + "/webapps/northstar-primefaces-portlet/images/member/"  + event.getFile().getFileName());
ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Thumbnails.of(fiStream).scale(1).toOutputStream(outputStream);

//Now the outstream has the rotated image with the correct colours

Let me know if this helps.
