I don't know what kind of image processing you required. If you wnat to draw some text on the image then first draw the image on the screen and then draw the string on same canvas on appropiate position, If u marge some tow or more image then u need to water mark process and I think it best to in use server side then display on canvas.

And getRGB method return the image RGB pixels array, u can also place ur pixcel but for this u need to some difficult calculation... using pixel matrix .The getRGB method only work for MIDP 2.0 device

You can also use setGrayScale(int) to draw an image in white or black

thank u friend,
if u don't mind can u give me a sample code to use setgrayscale method with image i have drawn in the canvas.here i attach my codings also

}//constructor
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
try {
// create an off screen image
g.setColor(255,255,255);
g.fillRect(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
Image offImg = Image.createImage(20, 20);
Graphics offGrap = offImg.getGraphics();
offGrap.setColor(0,0,0);
Image dukeImg = Image.createImage("/up.gif");
offGrap.drawImage(dukeImg, 0,0,0);
g.drawImage(offImg, getWidth()/2 +10,getHeight()/2 +10 ,Graphics.HCENTER | Graphics.TOP);
