System.out.println("Format:       " + imageInfo.getFormat());
System.out.println("MIME-Type:    " + imageInfo.getMimeType());
System.out.println("Width:        " + imageInfo.getWidth());
System.out.println("Height:       " + imageInfo.getHeight());
System.out.println("BitsPerPixel: " + imageInfo.getBitsPerPixel());

// ... more information is available in imageInfo ...
