Not sure if this is your problem, but I seem to recall in the past having an image render all black after creating a graphics context from a buffered image.
Doing a graphics setColor() and fillRect() prior to rendering into the image fixed it.

Hi I haven't looked at Java2D in 10 years, so I've forgotten the answer to this pedestrian question, but what does it generally mean when your filtered image renders as all black? Thanks.
