- (UIImage *)rotateImage:(UIImage*)image byDegree:(CGFloat)degrees 
{   
    UIView *rotatedViewBox = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,image.size.width, image.size.height)];
    CGAffineTransform t = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(DegreesToRadians(degrees));
    rotatedViewBox.transform = t;
    CGSize rotatedSize = rotatedViewBox.frame.size;
    [rotatedViewBox release];

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rotatedSize);
    CGContextRef bitmap = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();


    CGContextTranslateCTM(bitmap, rotatedSize.width, rotatedSize.height);

    CGContextRotateCTM(bitmap, DegreesToRadians(degrees));


    CGContextScaleCTM(bitmap, 1.0, -1.0);
    CGContextDrawImage(bitmap, CGRectMake(-image.size.width, -image.size.height, image.size.width, image.size.height), [image CGImage]);

    UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return newImage;
