The only thing I see commented is the JColorChooser not the JFileChooser.
Can you make that clear? I am talking about the first few lines of the openFile method.
All the JFileChooser are there. Do they work?

When you say "its not working properly" ... could you elaborate? What happens and what do you see? Are there any compilation error messages? Or run-time error messages?
