How to read, rotate and save images with Graphics2D

My previous post "Rotate and translate images with AffineTransform" rotates and translates any buffered image, however I found out that using AffineTransform isn't always the best solution. I've encountered several problems rotating images bigger than 2000px and because of that, another solution was needed to resolve my problem.

Here's a little example that reads and rotates an image 90 degrees.

private String rotateImage(String pathToImage) {

BufferedImage image = null;
String tempFileName = null;

try {
   File f = new File(pathToImage);

   if (f.exists()) {

     image = ImageIO.read(f);

     Image rotatedImage = new BufferedImage(image.getHeight(),
                      image.getWidth(),image.getType());

     Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) rotatedImage.getGraphics();

     g2d.rotate(Math.toRadians(90.0));

     g2d.drawImage(image, 0, -rotatedImage.getWidth(null), null);
     g2d.dispose();

     //Random name
     String timeStampName = UUID.randomUUID().
                           toString().substring(1, 8);

     //Save image to java.io.tmpdir
     tempFileName = System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") +
                    timeStampName + ".jpg";


     ImageIO.write((BufferedImage) rotatedImage, "jpg",
                                    new File(tempFileName));


   }

} catch (Exception e) {
  //TODO: Do something here
}

return tempFileName;

}
