It seems to me that getRawImageType was supposed to give the "raw" colorspace (say YCbCr) for the src but for some reason it couldn't so it gave an RGB colorspace, which makes it unreliable.
The following javadoc seems to be somewhat confusing: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/imageio/ImageReader.html#getRawImageType(int) http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/imageio/ImageReader.html#getImageTypes(int) The default implementation of getRawImageType doesn't seem to work for you. There are some comments in JPEGImageReader.java saying that YCbCr colorspace is not available so RGB has to be returned.
