Java BufferedImage getting red, green and blue individually

Question

The getRGB() method returns a single int. How can I get individually the red, green and blue colors all as the values between 0 and 255?

Answer 1

Java's Color class can do the conversion:

Color c = new Color(image.getRGB());
int red = c.getRed();
int green = c.getGreen();
int blue = c.getBlue();
