BufferedImage img=new BufferedImage(29342,450,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB );

Graphics2D g2d=img.createGraphics();
g2d.drawImage(r.getAsBufferedImage(), 0, 0, null);
g2d.finalize();
g2d.dispose();

img.flush();
img=null;

mr empty: cross-posting can frustrate anyone who tries to help you only to find out later that the same answer was given hours ago in a cross-posted thread. No one likes wasting their time, especially a volunteer. The polite thing to do would be to not do this, but if you feel that you absolutely must, to at least provide links in both cross-posts to each other.
