scale image of size 1600*1200 - iphone

I am developing image size based iphone application. selecting two photos of size 1600*1200 from photo library and merging of both to single image and save to same library. Again if i check the image size it shows 600* 800. How to get original size(1600*1200) of created New photo(600*800).
Thanks in advance.

Check the UIImagePickerControllerDelegate Protocol Reference.
The info NSDictionary of the imagePickerController:didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo: method contains the original image.

Solved as follows.
UIView *bgView = [[UIView alloc] initwithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,1600,1200)];
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(tempView.bounds.size);
[self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(viewImage,self,nil,nil);
Thanks for all your support to solve the issue.

iphone, when saving image with "renderInContext" to device, the image is blurry?

I'm using this code to render an image from view.
Then i am saving it to photo album.
The image is blurry?
Why? Is there a solution?
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.bounds.size);
[self.view.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
Tnx all.
You are propably using a retina device,
Change the following
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.view.bounds.size)
to
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.view.bounds.size, self.view.opaque, 0.0);

uitableviewcell resize image

i load data in a tableview, each row have a simple picture 500x300px that go resize to size of cell.
Is possible resize the images?
tableview.m
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:receip.image ofType:#"jpg"];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:filePath];
cell.imageView.image = image;
I assume you mean resize them before putting them in the cell to improve performance?
You can do this with core graphics as follows:
//define desired size
CGSize size = CGSizeMake(100.0f, 100.0f);
//create drawing context
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, NO, 0.0f);
//draw image at new size
[image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, size.width, size.height)];
//capture resultant image
UIImage *resizedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
Be warned though that is a computationally expensive task. You'll probably want to resize all your images in advance, possibly on a background thread, and store the resized versions in an array. You definitely do not want to stick the code above in your cellForRowAtIndexPath method, or your table scrolling performance will be diabolical.
If those images come from an external source (say the web). It's better to first cache the original file and then (like explained by #Nick Lockwood) resize them (remember retina displays need twice the width / height for hi-res displaying). And after that process is complete you can send a signal that the "download" is complete and carry on showing the UITableView
If you already have the images in your app bundle I suggest you make a thumb version of that and add it to your bundle. For better performance o'course.

What is the best way to display thumbnail list in UITableview

I have an app that need to display image(in a folder) thumbnail list in UITableView.
My way is to create the thumbnail of an image when add the image to the folder.
CGSize itemSize = CGSizeMake(100, 100);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(itemSize);
[image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0,100, 100)];
image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
NSData* imageData1 =[NSData dataWithData:UIImagePNGRepresentation (image)];
NSMutableString *sss1=[[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:folderPath];
[sss1 appendString: thumbnailIdString] ;
[sss1 appendString:fileName] ;
[imageData1 writeToFile:sss1 atomically:NO];
[sss1 release];
Then the app display the resized the thumbnail image in UITableView.
It DOES work. But the performance is not perfect.
It needs to load the large image and rewrites the thumbnails to the folder.
Is there any other better solution? I checked Three20, but I am not sure if it can do this.
Welcome any comment
Thanks

You can load and resize image in a worker thread, and when the image is ready, show this image in the main thread. In order to complete the above behaviors, you need to find a thread-safe way to resize image. The UIGraphicsBeginImageContext() and UIGraphicsEndImageContext() should only run in the main thread.

How to save a stretched image?

How can I save a stretched image?
I have a small(50 X 50) image, that I have stretched while displaying it on a UIImageView (by choosing scaletofit mode.) Now I need to fetch & save that stretched image.
I have tried by using UIImageView's image property, but it gives me original image not that stretched image.
So, do you have any idea how to solve this problem? If then please help me or guide me or at-least give me a hint.
Hoping for your reply.........
Thanks
You have to create an image by copying the bit map of the view's CGContext (core graphic context). This has been asked on stackoverflow before but I can't find the answer right now.
You need to render your UIImageView into a graphic context you create :
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(yourUIImageView.frame.size);
yourUIImageView.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *screenshot = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
//get the PNG representation of the UIImage (but you could do the same with JPEG
NSData *myData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(screenshot);
//then save it to a file
[myData writeToFile:thePathToWriteYourFileAsNSString atomically:YES];

iPhone: Get camera preview

I'd like to get the image that is being displayed on the UIImagePickerController when user uses the camera. And when I get I want to process the image and display instead of regular camera view.
But the problem is when I want to get the camera view, the image is just a black rectangle.
Here's my code:
UIView *cameraView = [[[[[[imagePicker.view subviews] objectAtIndex:0]
subviews] objectAtIndex: 0]
subviews] objectAtIndex: 0];
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext( CGSizeMake(320, 427) );
[cameraView.layer renderInContext: UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
imageToDisplay.image = [PixelProcessing processImage: viewImage]; //In this case the image is black
//imageToDisplay.image = viewImage; //In this case the image is black too
//imageToDisplay.image = [UIImage imageNamed: #"icon.png"]; //In this case image is being displayed properly
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
This one is also working quite good. Use it when the camera preview is open:
UIImage *viewImage = [[(id)objc_getClass("PLCameraController")
performSelector:#selector(sharedInstance)]
performSelector:#selector(_createPreviewImage)];
But as far as I found out it brings the same results than the following solution which takes a 'screenshot' of the current screen:
extern CGImageRef UIGetScreenImage();
CGImageRef cgoriginal = UIGetScreenImage();
CGImageRef cgimg = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(cgoriginal, rect);
UIImage *viewImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgimg];
CGImageRelease(cgoriginal);
CGImageRelease(cgimg);
A problem I didn't still find a fix for is, how can one get the camera image very fast without any overlays?
The unofficial call is:
UIGetScreenImage()
which you declare above the #implementation as:
extern CGImageRef UIGetScreenImage();
There may be a documented way to do this in 3.1, but I'm not sure. If not, please please file a Radar with Apple asking them to make some kind of screen grab access public!!!
That uses your same AppleID you log in to the iPhone development portal with.
Update: This call is not yet documented, but Apple explicitly has given the OK to use it with App Store apps.
at least for now, there's no way to do this. (certainly no official documented way, and as far as I know nobody's figured out an unofficial way either.)
the camera preview data is being drawn by the OS in some way that bypasses the normal graphics methods.
