Do you want to remove a circular area from inside the image?  Or do you  
want to use only a ciruclar area from inside the image as your new image?

That is, the transformed image, will it be the original image with a hole  
in it?  Or will it be the original image with everything outside the  
circular area excluded?

Makes me think you're taking a circular subset of the image, but other  
parts of your message seem to contradict that.  I'm a bit confused.

If I have understood the goal correctly, then it seems to me that the  
easiest way to transform your original image is to draw it into a new  
image, clipping to the circular shape you want.

For example, here's some code that works when just drawing into the  
Graphics2D passed to the paintComponent() method:

     // Where x, y, width, and height describe your circular area and image  
is a reference
     // to the image you want to clip

     Area areaOval = new Area(new Arc2D.Double(x, y, width, height, 0, 360,  
Arc2D.PIE));
     Shape shapeClipSave = gfx2.getClip();

     gfx2.setClip(areaOval);
     gfx2.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null);
     gfx2.setClip(shapeClipSave);

You should be able to use basically the same thing drawing into a  
Graphics2D instance you get from a new BufferedImage instance.  Just make  
sure you've enabled anti-aliased rendering, and when the image is drawn  
clipped into the new BufferedImage, the edges should wind up anti-aliased.
