     How it's done:
     - Crop the intersection of sourceImage (1) and destImage (2) into tempImage
     - Create destImage with (complete) size of (2)
     - Place tempImage into destImage with the correct border on the left (that is (2)-(1))
     
     
     */


// sourceimage is 952x420
File sourceFile = new File("/some/file");

// destimage should be cropped to 632x294 by 64, -19 boundaries
File destFile = new File("/some/other/file");

BufferedImage sourceImage = ImageIO.read(sourceFile);

// Crop the piece you need from the source image this way:
// where 613 == 632-19
BufferedImage tempImage = sourceImage.getSubimage(64, 0, 613, 294);

// Create the new image that is the size of the resulting image
BufferedImage destImage = new BufferedImage(632, 294, sourceImage.getType());

// Then, you place the tempImage in the destImage:
Graphics2D g2 = destImage.createGraphics();
g2.drawImage(tempImage, 19, 0, 632, 294, null);
g2.dispose();

ImageIO.write(destImage, sourceImage.getType(), destFile);
