JavaFX photo management

The Java Development Kit has a very robust assortment of image handling APIs. In Java 9, these were augmented with improved support for the TIFF specification. In this chapter, we'll exercise this API in creating an image/photo management application. We'll add support for importing images from user-specified locations into the configured official directory. We'll also revisit the duplicate file finder and reuse some of the code developed as a part of the project to help us identify duplicate images.

This project will cover the following:

• The new javax.imageio package
• JavaFX
• NetBeans Rich Client Platform
• Java file I/O
