No we cannot help you with your codes but we will help you out with the problems you may encounter while writing your codes. First know the format of image you are trying to manipulate. BMP or JPEG of 8 bit RGB or 24 bit RGB and also the construction of a jpeg file and other stuff needed from here. Once you know all these you will have a better picture of the problem in hand. Also look at convert command in Linux.
