Graphics problem?

[santa]

So ... im trying to split an image to different parts ... everything works well except when i draw the image its black where its supposed to be transperant and white where there is supposed to be colors =P Iv no idea of what has gone wrong ... here is how i do the splitting:

public static BufferedImage[][] splitImage(BufferedImage img, int cols, int rows) {
        int w = img.getWidth()/cols;
        GUI.getGUI().centerPanel.setSpiteWidth(w);
        int h = img.getHeight()/rows;
        GUI.getGUI().centerPanel.setSpiteHeight(h);
        int num = 0;
        BufferedImage imgs[][] = new BufferedImage[rows][cols];
        for(int y = 0; y < rows; y++) {
            for(int x = 0; x < cols; x++) {
                imgs[y][x] = new BufferedImage(w, h, img.getType());
                  Graphics2D g2d = imgs[y][x].createGraphics();
                g2d.drawImage(img, 0, 0, w, h, w*x, h*y, w*x+w, h*y+h, null);
                g2d.dispose();
                
                System.out.println(num++);
            }
           
        }
        System.out.println("Done");
        return imgs;
    }

and then I use the images in the array by :

 public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
super.paintComponent(g);
       Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;

           g2d.drawImage(pics[currentRow][currentCol], spiteX, spiteY, spiteW, spiteH, null);

    }

any ideas? =P thanks alot

Solved : by setting int type = BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB;
