                                System.out.println(image.getWidth(null));

                frame.setSize(200, 300);
                frame.setVisible(true);
        }
        /*

                BufferedImage enlargedImage = new BufferedImage(w, h, image.getType());
                for (int y=0;y<h;y++){
                        for(int x=0;x<w;x++){
                                enlargedImage.setRGB(x, y, image.getRGB(x/n,  y/n));
                        }
                }

                return enlargedImage;
        }*/
}

I'm only getting the top-left 8x8 pixels of the image I provided ("pic.jpg"). Could anyone explain this?
