I'm trying to get the separate integer rgb values of a specific pixel in a BufferedImage object. I'm using the following, which seems to get the red value OK, however the g & b are too big: rgb = colCorBImage.getRGB(r, c); red = rgb & 255; green = rgb & 65280; blue = rgb & 16711936;

You need to learn how bitwise operators work.

Actually, the red assignment is the blue sorry

Surely what I have shoudl work no? I guess I could get the green also by shifting the lot >> 8 bits, then & that with 65535?
it isn't sufficient just to mask out the bits you need.
because the bits are still in the same position they were in before
you still have to shift them to get them in the position you want

Oh of course onlineTrafficSchool++
I was trying to simplify the simplest solution :-s
