I am trying to have my GAE app identify the primary colors used in an image. 
 Unfortunately, perhaps I'm misunderstanding it but the 
ImageService.histogram() function appears useless for this, since it is a 
histogram *per color channel* rather than across the color spectrum. 
 Actually, I'm not really sure what that could be useful for :-/

Anyway, so I need to be able to access the individual pixel colors in a 
downloaded image, and then feed this into some kind of clustering mechanism 
to find the most important ones.  Not easy, but doable.

Then I discover, to my surprise, that the Image class appears to provide no 
means to query individual pixel colors, something akin to 
BufferedImage.getRGB().  Now I'm getting worried.

So I go on a hunt for pure Java JPEG decoders (all of the images I need to 
do this to are JPEGs) and it seems that the last time anyone wrote a Java 
JPEG decoder was some time in the late Cretaceous era - and their websites 
either 404 or the code won't even nearly compile.

Surely there must be a way to do this, can anyone help?

Ian.
