    Available: 109980
    Reader is not found
    Image is NULL
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: im == null!

    Can anyone please give me a solution to this problem, or can anyone suggest me any alternative ways to write image after bit-manipulation.

    Thanks in advance in anticipation of an early reply.
