Image Processing in Java tutorials?

I am planning to develop an image editor in Java which would have the features like copying, blurring, resizing, cropping an image and so on.





I know there is a java.awt.image package which enables image processing in Java. Where do get to know how to use it.


I checked several sites but they contained info only on how to draw a line etc. Can someone help me out???????????
