I agree and this is especially true for image manipulation. There's no thing such a single way to do e.g. image resizing. For instance, the approach with multiple passes is good for dealing with images functional for the l&f of a desktop application, while if we'd like to do something more quality-oriented something more complex is needed (refer to this post for an example http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0311&L=jai-interest&P=R9579&I=-3). IMHO it's correct that Java only provides low-level APIs, that is building blocks that should be put together in different ways for different needs.
