ImageIO.read() throws IllegalArgumentException

Question

I'm using ImageIO api to read byte array (using ByteArrayInputStream) to get back a BufferredImage. It works most of the time but fails for certain images. After doing extensive research - I found it's related to color conversion. But I'm not sure how I can quickly resolve this by not giving away ImageIO API. Below is the stacktrace:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Numbers of source Raster bands and source color space components do not match

Answer 1

So, it's a JDK bug in the javax.imageio API that prevents ImageIO.read(..) to return a BufferedImage. It was reported in year 2007 and still open : (

To resolve my issue - I have implemented a workaround to deal with bytes directly. Life is good. Thanks for taking time though )

Answer 2

The error message is informative and indicates that the number of raster bands, as mentioned in the ICC color profile, seems to be incorrect. I used ImageMagick to strip the ICC profile from the image. ImageIO subsequently has no problems reading the images (~1k bad images). Hope that helps.
