Need help with method morphStage, please help!

[WhopperMan]

For my assignment I have to take the pixels of two existing pictures and create 3 intermediate pictures. This is what I have so far, but I have no clue how I am supposed to get both the startValue and the endValue, I also feel like im missing something else. Thanks for your help.

public void morphStage(Picture startPicture, Picture endPicture, int numStages, int k)
{
  Pixel pixelObj = null;
  Color colorObj = null;
  int redStartValue = 0;
  int greenStartValue = 0;
  int blueStartValue = 0;
  int redEndValue = 0;
  int greenEndValue = 0;
  int blueEndValue = 0;
  int redValue = 0;
  int greenValue = 0;
  int blueValue = 0;
  Pixel[] pixelArray = this.getPixels();
 
for (int y = 0; y < this.getHeight(); y++) 
{  
for (int x = 0; x < this.getWidth(); x++) 
{
  pixelObj = this.getPixel(x,y);
  redStartValue = pixelObj.getRed(); 
  greenStartValue = pixelObj.getGreen();
  blueStartValue = pixelObj.getBlue();
  redValue = (redStartValue + ((redEndValue - redStartValue) / (numStages + 1)) * k);
  pixelObj.setRed(redValue);
  greenValue = (greenStartValue + ((greenEndValue - greenStartValue) / (numStages + 1)) * k); 
  pixelObj.setGreen(greenValue);
  blueValue = (blueStartValue + ((blueEndValue - blueStartValue) / (numStages + 1)) * k);
  pixelObj.setBlue(blueValue);
}
}
}

What you want to define by start and end values. Why don't you grad the details of a pixel in RGB?

To be honest, I don't know what you mean. I'm not really good with terminology.
I just want to know how I can get values for both startValues and endValues, which would be two different pictures.

Anything??

Okay, what you mean by startValue and endValue? Can you elaborate more about it?

Your code uses Picture and Pixel classes which are not part of the standard JDK and about which we know nothing except the names. If you wrote those classes, post the code here. If you got them from somewhere else, that's the place to ask for help.
