Answer 1

You can try saving (or writing) the Buffered Image with the changes you made and then opening it as an Image.

EDIT:

try {
    // Retrieve Image
    BufferedImage buffer = ImageIO.read(new File("old.png"));;
    // Here you can rotate your image as you want (making your magic)
    File outputfile = new File("saved.png");
    ImageIO.write(buffer, "png", outputfile); // Write the Buffered Image into an output file
    Image image  = ImageIO.read(new File("saved.png")); // Opening again as an Image
} catch (IOException e) {
    ...
}
