Size of BufferedImage

Posted by Tim W on December 27, 2001 at 11:47 AM

Does anyone know of a quick way to approximate the size of a BufferedImage Object based on it's size and image type?

I've got some small images I'm trying to play with(96 x 192 pixels using 8 bit RGB color) but my system seems to think that they require much more memory than I think they should (The system resources tells me that each image requires between 2.5 and 3 M to create and hold in memory, which seems like a *lot* for an image of this size).

Thanks,

Tim W
