What are currently the best image processing libraries for Java?

I am looking for a java library that can scale, crop images without losing much quality, convert between image formats (png<->jpg), etc.

There is a similar question already, but it was asked 1,5 years ago and I am hoping maybe there are any new inventions, as everything mentioned there looks outdated (开发者_StackOverflow社区and scary).

I had good results with ImageMagick for typical work on gifs and jpgs.

Take a look at the Java Advanced Imaging library.
