How can I read image pixels' values as RGB into 2d array?

Question

I was making a 2d map editor for my square tile platformer game, when I realized I could really use an image editor with its abilities to repaint adjacent pixels and many mo

I think I've done something similar once. Here's a code snippet of what I was doing:

public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {

            String path = "src/colors.jpg";
            BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File(path));
            int w = image.getWidth();
            int h = image.getHeight();
            for (int y = 0; y < h; y++) {
                for (int x = 0; x < w; x++) {
                    Color c = new Color(image.getRGB(x, y));
                    int red = c.getRed();
                    int green = c.getGreen();
                    int blue = c.getBlue();
                    countColor(red, green, blue);
                    totalCount++;
                }
            }

            printColors();

        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
        }
    }

In the inner for loop you can put something into an array[i][j]. (If that is what you're looking for)
