Software rendering doesn't support hardware bitmaps (2.0)

Hi all, maybe the demon is back.... when I use the file chooser for the image, it is correctly loaded (edited etc) but fails on FileSave

NOTE: all work if image come from the camera, or from APP dedicated storage on the system

see #277

You need to check if Android version code is **higher or equal to Q** then you **must** use [Scoped Storage](https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage). This is a very dramatic change in favor of privacy since now, using scoped storage your app can only access some specific types of files, and will be able to create and access only its own created files without asking for storage permission. It's important to note that the app cannot access other's apps data.

Here is an example that may be useful:

//Is this Android 10+ and requires scoped storage?
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.Q) {
    OutputStream outputStream;
    //Android 10+ already takes care of creating folders if don't exist.
    final String relativeLocation = Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES + File.separator + "PhotoEditor";
    ContentValues contentValues = new ContentValues();
    contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME, "picture_name.jpg");
    contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "image/jpeg");
    contentValues.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.RELATIVE_PATH, relativeLocation);
    Uri uri = context.getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, contentValues);
    try {
        outputStream = context.getContentResolver().openOutputStream(uri);
        yourBitmapToSave.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, outputStream);
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
} else {
    //save the bitmap normally.. check if folder exists first.
}

Founded workaround, create a copy of bitmap on cache, and load the image from there again
