please help me i need to select just a portion of my image dinamically using mouse as in paint its work but i cant save the rectangle (by clicking on it)

You have code to track the Rectangle defined by the mouse drag operation. I haven't checked that, but you also clear that Rectangle when the mouse is released, so then you are left with nothing.
When the mouse is released, instead of clearing the variable, you can use that selection Rectangle's coordinates in a call to BufferedImage's getSubimage method to create a new Image with just that part that was in the Rectangle.

Thanks James i will try it hope that works :)
