BufferedImage to ByteBuffer

[matan45]

there is any faster way to convert BufferedImage to ByteBuffer
then this:

public ByteBuffer convertImageData(BufferedImage image) {

		int[] pixels = new int[image.getWidth() * image.getHeight()];
		image.getRGB(0, 0, image.getWidth(), image.getHeight(), pixels, 0, image.getWidth());

		ByteBuffer buffer = BufferUtils.createByteBuffer(image.getWidth() * image.getHeight() * 3);

		for (int y = 0; y < image.getHeight(); y++) {
			for (int x = 0; x < image.getWidth(); x++) {
				int pixel = pixels[y * image.getWidth() + x];
				buffer.put((byte) ((pixel >> 16) & 0xFF)); // Red component
				buffer.put((byte) ((pixel >> 8) & 0xFF)); // Green component
				buffer.put((byte) (pixel & 0xFF)); // Blue component
			}
		}

		buffer.flip();
		return buffer;
